Why does this matter?
The growing national debt drives inflation. As the government prints more money (M2) to pay interest on debt, the value of the dollar in your pocket decreases. This is why housing, groceries, and gas prices are soaring.
The Federal Reserve raises interest rates to fight this, making mortgages and credit cards more expensive. It's a vicious cycle.
Protect Your Wealth
Living in a high-tax state (like CA or NY) while inflation eats your savings is a double penalty. Migration is the best hedge against inflation.
