Some countries have floated the idea of replacing the dollar with a gold-backed currency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"US](\"https:\/\/goldco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Inflation800x533.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
1. Out of Control Inflation<\/h2>\n
Inflation, as Milton Friedman famously stated, is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. So it\u2019s no surprise that the trillions of dollars that entered the US financial system in 2020 eventually resulted in sharply rising inflation.<\/p>\n
Many people saw that inflation was going to be problematic, but it seems like policymakers in Washington kept their heads in the sand. First we were told that inflation wasn\u2019t going to happen, then that inflation was merely transitory, and finally that the Federal Reserve had everything under control.<\/p>\n
But that wasn\u2019t true. Inflation reached the highest level it had in 40 years, and only now is starting to get back towards the Fed\u2019s 2% goal.<\/p>\n
Inflation results in the devaluing of the dollar and the diminishing of purchasing power. The higher inflation rises, the worse that devaluing gets.<\/p>\n
Inflation in the US isn\u2019t anywhere close to the levels seen in Weimar Germany, Venezuela, or Zimbabwe yet, but that doesn\u2019t mean it won\u2019t be problematic. Even though the Fed thinks it has inflation under control, its response to the next recession could spur more inflation that could further devalue your dollars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
2. Federal Spending and Debt<\/h2>\n
One of the reasons for our current inflationary mess is the fact that the federal government continues to spend trillions of dollars that it doesn\u2019t have. The federal budget deficit is expected to hit nearly $2 trillion this year.<\/p>\n
Among the driving factors is the rising cost of servicing the massive $35 trillion national debt. Interest cost on the debt is already over $1 trillion this year, and could continue to rise in the future.<\/p>\n
High interest rates and a rising national debt are a bad combination, and the higher the national debt grows and the longer interest rates remain elevated, the worse that interest expense gets.<\/p>\n
Another looming factor that could contribute to a debt crisis is the imminent financial crisis facing Medicare and Social Security. The Social Security trust fund is set to be depleted in 2033, at which point it will only pay out 79 percent of expected benefits. Medicare\u2019s trust fund is expected to be depleted in 2036.<\/p>\n
When those trust funds are depleted, the government will have to fund Social Security and Medicare benefits from general tax revenue, which it never expected to have to do. That could result in hundreds of billions of dollars of additional expenditures that the federal government wasn\u2019t planning for, further driving up the national debt.<\/p>\n
As we saw in 2020, when the federal government\u2019s fiscal stimulus was monetized by the Federal Reserve, this monetized debt can be inflationary. So the more money the federal government spends, the higher inflation rises. And the higher inflation rises, the weaker the dollar becomes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
3. International Avoidance<\/h2>\n
More and more countries around the world are trying to wean themselves off dependence on the US dollar. That can be difficult, as the dollar\u2019s use in international oil markets has been one of the reasons the dollar is in such great demand around the world.<\/p>\n
But an increasing number of countries are beginning to eschew the use of the dollar for oil purchases, or use their own national currencies for bilateral trade. While the dollar remains the dominant world reserve currency today, its importance is declining.<\/p>\n
There is also the fact that the US government has weaponized the dollar and the US banking system through its international sanctions, which impact far more than just target individuals, entities, or nations.<\/p>\n
US sanctions require financial institutions around the world to comply, even if those institutions aren\u2019t American. That can dramatically raise the cost of doing business and result in bureaucratic and logistical nightmares.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no wonder that many countries have responded to this by dumping the dollar and looking for alternatives. The BRICS countries are at the forefront of this, developing their own payment systems, and possibly even developing their own currencies for bilateral or international trade.<\/p>\n
There are even rumors that a new BRICS currency could be backed by gold. While it looks right now like it will be a long time before the dollar is dethroned as the world\u2019s reserve currency, developments could accelerate in the coming years.<\/p>\n
![\"instability](\"https:\/\/goldco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/USCapitol800x476.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
4. Political Instability<\/h2>\n
Underlying all this is a growing sense of political instability in the United States. It seems as if Congress has for decades ignored the growing national debt, assuming that everything is business as usual.<\/p>\n
But the acceleration of the growth of the national debt, plus the rising cost of interest to service that debt, could put the trajectory of the federal budget into an inflationary debt spiral.<\/p>\n
Congress has also shown little interest in tackling the issues of Social Security and Medicare, the so-called \u201cthird rail\u201d of American politics. If these entitlement programs aren\u2019t addressed soon, they could blow up the federal budget.<\/p>\n
But Congress seems to have been more dysfunctional than ever over the past few years. Just like Nero, they seem to be fiddling while the country burns down around them.<\/p>\n
Hardly anyone seems to be aware of the problems facing the dollar, let alone the solution to those problems. And so Washington continues on its present course, seemingly oblivious to the problems facing the dollar.<\/p>\n
What Happens If the Dollar Collapses?<\/h2>\n
The question most people have is, how does the dollar\u2019s collapse affect me? Since the dollar is the currency we all use in our daily lives, there\u2019s not much way for us to avoid using it.<\/p>\n
Any collapse of the dollar could impact financial markets, as Wall Street has long gotten used to the dollar\u2019s status as the world\u2019s reserve currency. Reduced demand for dollars could mean reduced demand for US bonds, US equities, and other dollar-denominated financial instruments, which could result in falling prices.<\/p>\n
And if you thought dollar devaluation was bad today, just imagine how bad it could get if the dollar ends up getting dethroned as the world\u2019s reserve currency. It could overturn all the assumptions you took for granted.<\/p>\n
Would it be the end of the world? Probably not.<\/p>\n
After all, the British pound was the previous reserve currency, and Britain hasn\u2019t exactly become a Third World country. But neither is the UK a major force in the international economy or an example that others want to look up to.<\/p>\n
If the US dollar were to crash, would it mean the end of your savings? Probably not.<\/p>\n
But would it mean that you might have to downsize your expectations for the future and for retirement? Maybe so.<\/p>\n
The severity of the impact of a dollar crash would of course depend on how deep that crash is and how quickly it comes.<\/p>\n
A continuing gradual slide with more dollar devaluation and continued inflation would be less severe than a hyperinflationary crisis like Zimbabwe or Venezuela, although the final result may be just as painful.<\/p>\n
Ultimately the dollar\u2019s fate is in Washington\u2019s hands, and if spending in Washington continues to worsen, and if the problems with rising debt and continued inflation aren\u2019t tackled, the dollar\u2019s eventual demise could come sooner than many people anticipate.<\/p>\n
How to Help Protect Yourself Against a Dollar Collapse<\/h2>\n
If the dollar crashes, you may think there\u2019s nothing you can do to protect yourself. But that mindset could cost you.<\/p>\n
Yes, a collapse of the dollar is likely to negatively impact just about everyone. But there are ways to help mitigate the impact.<\/p>\n
One of those may be to diversify your wealth into assets that don\u2019t depend upon the strength and health of the dollar for their value. Precious metals like gold and silver, for instance, are in demand around the world 24\/7 and aren\u2019t dependent upon the dollar for their value.<\/p>\n
Gold and silver have served as currencies, safe haven assets, and hedges against inflation for centuries. They continue to play that role today, as Americans continue to look for safe havens to protect their wealth against economic turmoil and financial crisis.<\/p>\n
There are numerous ways to put gold and silver to work for you, from direct cash purchases of gold and silver coins and bars that can be delivered to your door, to gold and silver IRAs<\/a> that can protect the tax-advantaged savings you\u2019ve built up in your 401(k) or IRA accounts.<\/p>\nBut being prepared ahead of time before a dollar collapse is important. Once the dollar starts to collapse, gold and silver demand could skyrocket as nervous individuals look for safety and value.<\/p>\n
Being ahead of the curve could pay off in the future when things take a turn for the worse. Don\u2019t wait until the dollar\u2019s collapse is upon you. Get started in securing your financial future with gold and silver today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
