Jason discusses the national debt, unfunded liabilities, and the practicality of a gold standard. He also explores the idea of a balanced budget amendment and its potential impact on the economy. While acknowledging the inflationary effects of debt, he believes the U.S. will continue to kick the can down the road for years. Additionally, Jason emphasizes the importance of investing in real estate and warns that rents are too low and will likely rise, making it an opportune time for investors. Today Jason welcomes Chance Finucane from Oxbow Advisors. They discuss the economy and markets, highlighting concerns about inflation and rate hikes. With a potential economic slowdown on the horizon, banks are facing challenges with higher interest rates affecting their profit margins. As for real estate, office space is collapsing, but the housing market remains resilient due to low inventory and high equity for homeowners. For investors, dividend-paying stocks in various sectors like telecoms, oil pipelines, and REITs offer attractive opportunities in the current market. https://oxbowadvisors.com/ Check out Jason's RENT (Real Estate News & Tech) YouTube Channel today! https://www.youtube.com/@realestatenewstechrentjaso2550 #NationalDebt #GoldStandard #BalancedBudget #RealEstateInvestment #Inflation #RentalMarket   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 0:47 The US national debt and a gold standard 2:22 Former President Ronald Reagan and the Balance Budget Amendment 7:19 Join the Empowered Investor Pro 8:15 Real Estate News & Tech YouTube channel 9:19 "RENTS are too damn low!"  Chance's interview 13:50 Inflation and interest rate hikes 15:52 A mission to increase the unemployment rate 17:11 Low inventory and high interest rates 17:50 Housing crash needs a massive supply of inventory 19:17 The poison pill the FED placed in the housing market 21:42 Bank distress and hold-to-maturity bonds 25:16 Bank failures 26:33 Forcing the FED to pivot by tightening credit  27:44 Collapsing of the commercial real estate 28:54 Food and energy 30:22 Public market portfolio     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
