I&#8217;ll identify my concerns below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The U.S. national debt is approximately $40.05 trillion as of September 2026.<\/strong><br>A)Divide $40 trillion by the U.S. population and every American is on the ho<br>ok for roughly $117,000.<br>B) The Government has no &#8220;income&#8221; so the only way they can pay down the<br>&#8220;National Debt&#8221; is with &#8220;Taxpayer Funds&#8221;. They have a few options they may use and are already using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Print more FIAT money that will reduce the value of the American<br>Dollar. This increases the &#8220;Cost of Goods&#8221; and if wages don&#8217;t increase<br>proportionately it will hurt the taxpayer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Government lies about gaining wealth from Tariffs as in the end the<br>consumer actually pays that fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the past our government did not want to see wages increase and an<br>option was to allow and sponsor Big Business the opportunity to have<br>products manufactured in other countries using their cheap labor,<br>allowing Americans to be able to purchase goods and services. This not<br>only helped Americans to have reasonably priced goods, but also allowed<br>less privileged Countries like Japan, China, Mexico to grow their<br>economy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now our Government wants to make the Countries we helped<br>develop the &#8220;Bad Guys&#8221;, and strive to bring Manufacturing and Goods<br>back to America? All this will do is increase our Cost of Goods and you<br>can be assured that American wages will not increase equally. Our<br>migrant farm workers that worked the fields are being refused entry into<br>America, so who will do their job at the cheap labor they were paid? Your<br>guess on that is as good as mine?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now we are alienating the trading partners we&#8217;ve had for decades,<br>hurting resources our current businesses need to produce American<br>made products?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We now need to evaluate what assets we can use to protect our family<br>and their future, as our Government seems to have a different agenda? Is<br>it cash in the bank that doesn&#8217;t keep up with inflation or are their different<br>options available? Living paycheck to paycheck is not the way of the<br>future, for the average American worker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So the next questions is what can a family do to prosper in these new hard<br>times?<br>A) where as our dollar is devaluating and of less value over time what are our options going forward?<br>B) Currently I see only Assets that keep up with inflation or increase as the only option we should consider in todays world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real Estate due to supply and demand as the key component and<br>proven over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gold as it has always been a source of value in trade or monetary<br>value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silver is used in jewelry, coins, electronics, medicine, solar energy, and<br>industrial applications due to its conductivity, reflectivity, and antimicrobial<br>properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where as today &#8220;Al Data Centers&#8221; are a big push for investors and the<br>hype gets investors now that won&#8217;t see actual business profits for ten<br>years, might not be the best investment for the general public. I believe<br>the best investment is in the products that are required to develop the &#8220;Al<br>Data Centers&#8221;. Things like Copper, Micro Chips, Generators, Solar<br>Farms, Battery Storage providers may be a better option, just to reference<br>a few?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>So what it boils down to you as a family leader &#8220;Must&#8221; make the correct<br>decision for your family, as there are many that have little or no concern<br>for your personal future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class='fluentform
