THEY CUT 3.5 MILLION FOOD STAMPS. THEN ASKED FOR $87.6 BILLION MORE.

Dear Reader,

The numbers came out yesterday.

PCE inflation: 4.1%. Highest in three years. That is not a blip. That is the system telling you exactly what it thinks of your purchasing power.

3.5 million Americans lost their food stamps this year. Arizona lost half its recipients in one cut. Women in their sixties driving to food banks. Men who worked their whole lives filling out paperwork that goes nowhere.

And the same week? The White House asked Congress for $87.6 billion more. For a war that Harvard says will cost a trillion dollars.

I wrote about this in 2002. My book was called "Rich Dad's Prophecy." They told me I was wrong.

In Today's Issue:

• The inflation number that proves the Fed is losing control

• How Washington spent your food money on Patriot missiles at $4 million each

• What history says happens next to anyone holding paper

• Brownstone Research: An oil expert with 40 years on the desks of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait just issued an urgent alert.

THE NUMBERS THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO ADD TOGETHER

Let me add them up for you.

PCE inflation: 4.1% in May. The Fed's target is 2%. That gap has been open for years. The mainstream says the Fed "may need to hold rates longer." That is the polite way to say: the Fed is trapped.

The national debt is $39.28 trillion. We add $5 billion to it every single day. The interest alone costs $2.8 billion a day. Not to pay the debt down. Just to keep the lights on.

3.5 million Americans lost SNAP benefits this year. The "One Big Beautiful Bill" stripped food stamps from veterans, from people over 55, from mothers of teenagers. Arizona: down 51%. New York: 300,000 to 400,000 people cut off.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon says the Iran war cost $25 billion. Harvard economist Linda Bilmes says this:

"Wars always cost more than expected. It is costing about $2 billion a day in short-term, upfront costs, which is the tip of the iceberg. I am certain we will reach one trillion dollars for the Iran war."

$25 billion. $1 trillion. One of those numbers is the Pentagon's press release. The other is what history says always happens.

I have seen this movie before. Every empire that debased its currency to fund its wars ended the same way. Not with a bang. With a slow drain. Rising prices. Shrinking safety nets. People who worked their whole lives eating from food banks.

I wrote "Rich Dad's Prophecy" in 2002. I said the global economic crash would arrive in 2026. My publisher told me the title was too pessimistic. I posted yesterday: "In 2026 the global economy is about to crash. That is good news for those that can see the future. Bad news for the blind."

It is 2026. PCE printed at 4.1%. The debt is $39.28 trillion. People are losing their food stamps while the war bill climbs past $87.6 billion.

I am not surprised. I am prepared.

There is one specific move history keeps rewarding when governments do what Washington is doing right now. It is not in your 401(k). It is not in Treasury bonds paying 4% while inflation runs at 4.1%.

Before I show you exactly what that move is, take a look at this.

Here is the move that history keeps rewarding.

Gold is at roughly $4,135 right now. Peter Schiff called this week's drop "your buy signal." I agree with the direction.

When governments inflate. When they cut safety nets to fund wars. When they add $5 billion to the debt every single day. Real assets win. Paper loses. Every time. Every empire. Same movie, different actors.

The people who protected themselves did not stay in savings accounts earning 0.5% while inflation ran at 4.1%. They did not trust the government's 2% target. They did not wait for permission.

They moved into gold. Into silver. Into assets that governments cannot print and bureaucrats cannot take with a change in the rules.

I have been buying gold since it was $300 an ounce. My rich dad taught me one rule: when the government loses control of the currency, own things. Not paper promises of things. Things.

SNAP cuts for 3.5 million people. $87.6 billion more for war. $2.8 billion a day in debt interest. PCE at 4.1%.

That is not a policy disagreement. That is a government breaking its promises in real time.

The government will not break its promise to gold.

P.S. The inflation numbers, the debt spiral, the war costs added together tell one story: the dollar is being hollowed out.
