How They Plan to Devalue Your Last Working Years

You skipped vacations. You took the “safe” route. You trusted the system to return the favor when it mattered most.

But now, with retirement finally on the horizon, something feels… off.

Prices are up.

Yields are down.

Your balance is bigger—but it buys less every year.

The Long Con

The U.S. government has quietly made a choice.

They can’t afford to pay you back in full.

So instead, they’ve chosen to pay you back in weaker dollars.

And they’ll do it without ever touching your account.

• They’ll inflate away the value while calling it “2% stability.”

• They’ll suppress rates while selling you on “low volatility.”

• They’ll measure CPI like it’s 1983, then tell you inflation is falling.

It’s the most elegant theft ever engineered:

The Time Bomb in Your 401(k)

Your retirement account wasn’t built for this world.

It was built for a time when dollars held value. When pensions were real. And when interest rates had integrity.

Today?

• Your “safe” bond fund is yielding 4% against a 6% lifestyle inflation.

• Your equities are trading on vibes, not value.

• And your purchasing power is evaporating—exactly when you need it most.

They’re not breaking your nest egg.

They’re boiling it.

Why It’s This Stage of Life They’re Targeting

If you’re in your late 40s, 50s, or early 60s:

• You’ve accumulated the most savings—but not enough to escape.

• You’re locked into traditional vehicles—401(k)s, IRAs, pensions.

• You’re told to stay the course—even when the course is headed off a cliff.

You're meant to absorb the loss silently, as a generation too loyal to resist.

But here’s the part that really stings:

The Betrayal No One Will Admit

They will never say it out loud.

But the writing is on every policy paper, bond issuance, and CPI tweak.

They can’t default. Nor can they cut spending.

So they’ll quietly clip the value of everything you’ve earned.
