Whether the American economy thrives into the future or takes a downturn, one thing seems clear. The fiat- and debt-based economy driving the United States and the world will eventually collapse, not because it cannot be fixed but because the powers-that-be seem bent on collapsing it.

We do want to bring the truth about the economy to light and make sure people are prepared for what's to come. We are not financial advisors and do not give financial advice.

The 10-year Treasury yield can be thought of as a key barometer of the US dollar-based fiat system—a critical measure akin to its beating heart.
