Three certainties in life: death, taxes, and central banks printing money.
Every crisis, every recession, every "emergency" — same playbook. Fire up the printer. Flood the system. Cross your fingers.
The Fed's balance sheet went from $900B in 2008 to nearly $9T at the peak. That's not a typo. That's 10x in 15 years.
And now? We act surprised when inflation shows up, when asset bubbles form, when savers get crushed and risk-takers get bailed out.
This isn't some conspiracy theory. It's just the reality of modern monetary policy. When you can print, you will print. When you can defer consequences, you will defer them.
The question isn't *if* they'll print again. It's *when* and *how much*.
Plan accordingly. Understand what holds value when currencies don't. Understand why hard assets, scarce assets, and productive assets matter more than ever.
Because death and taxes might be inevitable — but so is the next round of money printing.
