It’s a shocking thing to acknowledge, but it’s been slowly dawning on me for the past couple of years that the federal government and federal agencies that are supposed to look out for and work for the citizens of this country, are actually working against the citizens of this country. One way they do this is by making rules and regulations that make basic commodities scarce. I’ve come up with four major areas where this happens, and it is hurting the American peoples’ wealth.
- Fuel - Gasoline for cars, airplanes, and trucks has gotten more and more expensive by design of the government. Instead of being energy independent, which we were a few years ago, we are now energy dependent. Increased fuel costs not only affect me when I fill up my car, but also the costs of goods that have to be transported across the country.
- Energy - Similarly, energy costs have increased as power companies have been pushed toward green energy, which are not as reliable as traditional energy-producing fuels.
- Food - There are more rules and regulations around food production that is hurting Americans when they go to the grocery store.
- Value of money - There is more money around, but the value of the more money is less than it was. Inflation is the enemy of middle-class wealth production. Even saving money is losing money.
I came up with a bumper sticker that I plan to put on my car.
