While economists focus on core inflation, Chris says the real pain is in the “bare necessities” — food, energy, housing, healthcare, and other everyday expenses that continue to climb. He also examines what rising prices, growing deficits, mounting debt, and increased military spending could mean for interest rates, Federal Reserve policy, and the long-term value of the dollar.
