There's a belief among certain economists – and the wider population – that if the government takes a more active role in the economy, the social outcome can be improved. Dr. Lacy Hunt, executive VP of Hoisington Investment Management Company (HIMCO), says it's a false belief… and he has proof to back it up. An unprecedented buildup of debt, he shows, can only lead to one outcome: a drop in Americans' standard of living.




Many investors are so shell-shocked by the ongoing government meddling, cronyism and financial scandals that they have turned to "investments" with negative real interest rates. You can do much better than that – even in times of crisis. Listen to Lacy Hunt and 27 other renowned experts to find out where the opportunities lie in today's politicized economy.

I have a very non scientific approach, which is supported by personal experience and knowledge, to this fact that the standard of living has been continuously declining since 1994 for average people.

How many “baby boomers” have envisioned social security not being available for them. Now we can see it will be there however its value will be worthless.
