For years, the signs were everywhere for those who could see it. Governments aren’t prepared to deal with systemic crises, and when the Federal Reserve pumped massive amounts of liquidity into the banking system – first in 2008-2009 and then again in 2020 – this was a short-term fix that was bound to have long-term consequences.
No matter how you slice it, all roads lead to policy errors. The government will blame COVID-19 and geopolitical turmoil for the slow-motion economic collapse we’re witnessing in 2022, but it’s years of mismanagement that has actually brought us to this point.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unprecedented ramp-up in the Fed’s program of buying bonds and mortgage-backed securities – billions of dollars were purchased each month, even after the lockdowns ended in the U.S. On top of that, the Fed suppressed bond yields, to the point where real yields were negative.
Clearly, Fed Chair Jerome Powell wasn’t ready to disturb Wall Street and allow equity prices to go down. However, what’s good for Wall Street isn’t necessarily good for Main Street and hardworking Americans. The government will tout a seemingly low unemployment rate, but layoffs and hiring freezes are on the rise at companies ranging from Wells Fargo to Robinhood and Meta/Facebook.
Among the people who haven’t been laid off yet, many of them are struggling just to get by and worried that their job positions will be lost to automation and outsourcing. At the same time, there’s a shortage of skilled labor along crucial areas of the supply chain, as well as in critical-need areas like healthcare and education.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
