US Government Policies
Our elections have become an illusion. The government makes Americans feel like we still have a choice. There is no more left or right and unfortunately the only choice we have is evil vs stupid.
America has more than 2 million unelected officials making decisions for US citizens as we become divided as a nation as well as dilute our currency. Remember, the four page document, our Constitution, is the glue that holds our country together.
The US may not be the world power in the future based on how the world is beginning to perceive us today.
- We are no longer the world leader in trade.
- We no longer produce many products.
- We only create credit for debt.
The tariffs and sanctions we threaten other countries with is not as effective as it used to be. That train has left the station. We have weaponized our depleting currency and have helped created BRICS, which will shift America’s perspective and reality.
- Quantitative Easing and manipulation of our Economic Calendar
- Geopolitical Variables
- Digital Currency is coming globally (I own business in SE Asia)
- BRICS represent 65% of the World's GDP Gross Domestic Product (Brazil, Russia, India, China, Saudi Arabia + 44 countries). If America still has gold in Fort Knox, that will enable us to do business from BRICS, backing our gold with our trading.
- USD Currency: A healthy percentage of USD in America is below 30%. The remaining 70% of USD outside of America is being transacted around the world, simply because our currency has always been the world-dominant currency. In 2025, the percentage of USD in America is over 45%, indicating the US currency is not used as much as it once was, further devaluating the US currency! I traveled quite a bit through Japan, Thailand, Australia and a few other countries and no one accepts USD anymore like they used to.
Baby Boomers (The Most Vulnerable Generation)
In 2025, in America, there are an estimated 76 million Baby Boomers getting ready to retire in the next few years. No one is protecting us. There is a high probability more than 60% of all businesses today may be obsolete by 2030. If Baby Boomers are not careful we are in for a big surprise at the most crucial time in our lives.
Most people are not aware that there are more than 205 million Baby Boomers around the world, because of the significant increase of birthrates following World War II. That's why this period is known as the "Baby Boom." There are an estimated 10,000 Americans turning 65 each day. Within the next 10 years, this aging demographic will surpass 20% of the U.S. population.
Hamster Wheel
Without realizing it we all live in modern day slavery regardless of how much money we make. The way we have conducted business for the past 40 years is changing as you read this. If not careful more people in the next few years will dissipate what took them decades to accumulate as we plan our retirement. Without good health, everything you worked for means nothing.
Retirement: What does that look like?
For our clients who are not ready to retire for various reasons. CMAG specializes in more inflation- proof industries to keep you ahead of the curve.
In this case, many times if a business owner is in a vulnerable industry, you may want to consider selling your businesses and reposition into a more stable and safer Industry that may not become as susceptible to the threat of E-Commerce, Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT and plugging into the new world economy that we have never experienced as we approach 2030.
As the cost of doing business increases each year over the decades, profit margins begin the decrease. Being born in an analogue world and living in a digital era complicates the way we have done business for decades and is changing as you read this.
As we get older, we contemplate when, how and where to retire - and what does that look like?
I have a home in Thailand, which is truly Paradise. There is more to life than making money to survive and paying taxes.
We live in a society where we are the only country that base our economy on how much each American spends NOT what each American earns. We are the most leveraged country on the planet.
