In today’s podcast, we take on a provocative question from a reader: What is the single root cause behind America’s decline? You might think it's overspending, or the Federal Reserve, or career politicians. But what if it’s something even more fundamental… like letting just anyone vote? Should someone be allowed to vote if they don’t understand basic concepts like what a deficit is, or how the government even works? This episode digs deep into the consequences of letting uninformed masses steer the ship of state — and why it leads, predictably, to disaster. We also address: Term limits — and why replacing career politicians might not matter if voters keep electing clowns. Why 2033 is the year to watch — and what happens when Social Security goes bust. How the “One Big Beautiful Bill” may have accelerated that to ‘Crisis 2032’. How foreign central banks are quietly ditching US Treasuries and buying gold — and what that means for the dollar. Eisenhower’s lost wisdom — how a general who faced down Hitler and the Soviets feared inflation more than war.
