  1. Why won’t we have deflation like Japan? Why won’t we have low inflation despite doing the same policies as 2008-2009?

  2. Why won't we have deflation like Japan? We are doing the same policies. Won't we get the same results? Why won't we have a repeat of 2010-2020? We had persistently low inflation after doing the same policies in 2008-2009 we are doing now. Why would the same policies of QE and government spending lead to different outcomes?

  3. The Austrian Business Cycle Theory, specifically how to explain it in layman's terms to help non-Austrians/non-economists understand it effectively.
    Another idea around the same topic is how to effectively use it as an investor or trader.

    2. If/how/why/why not paper gold/silver can be used to suppress/manipulate physical price

  8. Do you think the people at the fed actually believe their nonsense or are they just doing what the banksters and PTB tell them to do.

  14. I would love a good breakdown of Biden's tax plan. You hear from Kamala, Biden and on the liberal media that "it is time the rich pay their fair share." I would love a good breakdown on what % of the income tax collected is already paid by those making over 400k per year and the top 1% ... and how his new tax plan would impact that group.

  15. Love all the suggestions but here is one that hits close to home (or abroad).
    How do we fight the vaccination to travel suggestions and attempts by IATA?
    Thanks for all the great work you do!

  17. I'd like to hear more of the details of petrodollar recycling. For instance, what is the motivation for the OPEC countries to price oil in dollars. What are the weak points in this scheme that could easily break down?

  19. Please explain how the government securities markets operate in relation to government expenditures. I would like to understand the bureaucratic machinations and how currency units follow from Fed monetization to end users. How newly created currency flows from the Fed to the government. Where in the government it first lands, how and where it is distributed from agency to agency and finally to where and what it is ostensibly supposed to be spent on.

    I have a perfunctory understanding but do not know who decides and how the funds go from agency to agency and finally to where it was ultimately allocated for whether a “defense” contractor or a food stamp recipient.
