The Fed's inflation track record since 2020 is brutal.
Consumer prices have climbed at a 4% annualized rate — double their 2% target. That's not a rounding error. That's a structural miss.
The CPI is now 14% above where it should be if they'd stuck to their mandate.
This isn't just about numbers. It's about purchasing power. Your dollars buy 14% less than they would have if the Fed had done what it promised.
Every retiree on a fixed income, every saver holding cash, every worker whose wage didn't keep up — they all paid for this failure.
The Fed will tell you they were dealing with unprecedented conditions. Fine. But price stability is literally their job. And they didn't deliver.
This is why you can't just trust institutions to protect your wealth. You have to take responsibility yourself.
