Paying off a 2.625% mortgage early makes no sense when the risk-free rate is 4% and the dollar supply inflates 10% a year. Financial illiteracy from a financial influencer.

Printing money doesn’t solve real problems because it doesn’t create real goods or services. It just creates more dollars chasing the same amount of stuff. Prices rise, but not everyone benefits equally. When new money enters the system, it reaches banks, corporations, and investors first. They use it to buy assets like stocks, homes, and commodities before prices adjust. By the time it filters down through stimulus checks or wage increases, the cost of living has already gone up. The people without assets end up paying higher prices while their income stays the same. That is how inflation quietly transfers wealth. Those who own assets see their value rise. Those who live paycheck to paycheck lose purchasing power. The rich grow richer, not because they work harder, but because they hold things that the new money chases. We saw it after the COVID stimulus. Stocks, real estate, and luxury goods exploded in price while everyday expenses like food, rent, and energy climbed just as fast. People who owned assets were rewarded. Those who didn’t fell further behind. Printing money might look like help, but it only widens the gap between those who produce and those who own. It rewards debt, punishes saving, and slowly erases the middle class under the illusion of relief.

The U.S. is learning the hard way what 40 years of bad economic strategy looks like. For decades, we went long dollars, Treasuries, and service jobs, while China went long commodities, factories, and gold. We exported our manufacturing, our productive base, and our leverage. Now we’re waking up to find we depend on China for everything from rare earths to weapons. Reshoring sounds good on paper, but it’s a trap. Bringing production back home would send inflation through the roof and crush the Treasury market, forcing the Fed into yield curve control and money printing. At the same time, AI is hollowing out what’s left of white-collar work, leaving policymakers staring down a structural unemployment problem they’ll likely try to “fix” with UBI and more debt. And now China is tightening control of rare earth exports, effectively saying USDs aren’t good enough anymore. This is the Triffin dilemma playing out in real time. America built an economy that needs to export dollars to survive, even if it means importing its own decline.
