#551: Why Inflation Is Higher Than You Think with Ed Butowsky

<p>Today, Marty sat down with Ed Butowsky to discuss the real inflation numbers the Fed is hiding from Americans. They cover the cost-of-living increases that the CPI falsely shows by analyzing the Chapwood index. This ranges from higher food prices to higher energy costs. True Inflation data is much higher than most think, affecting all economic data, including real GDP growth.</p> <p>Ed on Twitter: https://x.com/EdButowsky</p> <p>Chapwood Index: https://chapwoodindex.com/</p> <p>0:00 - Intro</p> <p>1:31 - Cost-of-Living Adjustment</p> <p>7:17 - Mischaracterization of CPI</p> <p>10:01 - Fed policy and GDP</p> <p>15:38 - Unchained & Coinkite</p> <p>17:31 - Effect of band aid policy and gaslighting</p> <p>20:07 - Sovereign debt crisis and monetary base</p> <p>23:39 - Realistic risk estimates for clients</p> <p>25:26 - Zaprite & SOTE</p> <p>26:59 - Bitcoin</p> <p>31:55 - Defaults and dollar weaponization</p> <p>34:50 - Trump & conservative policy</p> <p>40:32 - State autonomy and energy renaissance</p> <p>43:02 - Wrap up</p> <p>Shoutout to our sponsors:</p> <p>Unchained</p> <p>https://unchained.com/concierge/</p> <p>Zaprite</p> <p>https://zaprite.com/tftc</p> <p>Salt of the Earth</p> <p>https://drinksote.com/tftc</p> <p>Join the TFTC Movement:</p> <p>Main YT Channel</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos</p> <p>Clips YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ</p> <p>Website</p> <p>https://tftc.io/</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p>https://twitter.com/tftc21</p> <p>Instagram</p> <p>https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p>https://primal.net/tftc</p> <p>Follow Marty Bent:</p> <p>Twitter</p> <p>https://twitter.com/martybent</p> <p>Nostr</p> <p>https://primal.net/martybent</p> <p>Newsletter</p> <p>https://tftc.io/martys-bent/</p> <p>Podcast</p> <p>https://www.tftc.io/tag/podcasts/</p>
