We Went To The Rally Everyone Is Lying About
Tom Bilyeu argues that politician stock trading, government fraud, and deficit spending are interlocking problems that make it impossible for ordinary Americans to save their way to prosperity.
The gist
-
Bilyeu says sitting politicians should be banned from active stock trading and required to use blind trusts, index funds, or Treasury bills instead.
-
Trump's reported $500K to $1M Nvidia purchase one week before chip sales to China were approved shows how political timing trades on non-public information.
-
Bilyeu argues deficit spending and inflation force ordinary people into risky markets, making this a moral failure rather than an inevitability.
-
Full AI-tracked transparency on every government dollar spent is technically simple, and failing Pentagon audits should be treated as a hard line.
