Gold Is Money, and Fiat Is Fragile

Today, the US government officially announced a sweeping new wave of tariffs targeting strategic imports from China and other nations. These include increased duties on electric vehicles, semiconductors, solar panels, and key raw materials. While some portray this as “economic patriotism," the reality for American consumers and investors is stark: higher prices, more inflation, and diminished purchasing power.

What’s Really Going On?

Tariffs are taxes, period. They might be aimed at foreign exporters, but make no mistake—American consumers and businesses bear the burden.

This round of tariffs is designed to bolster domestic industries before further political maneuvering. But it comes at a time when:

  • The Federal Reserve continues to wrestle with persistent inflation
  • The US dollar faces increasing distrust abroad
  • The US national debt has surpassed $35 trillion
  • Global de-dollarization is accelerating, with BRICS+ nations pushing for gold-backed trade

The Bigger Picture: Inflation Is Back

Tariffs inevitably raise the cost of imported goods, which companies then pass on to consumers. That’s basic economics. You get persistent, structural inflation when combined with a government that creates currency at unprecedented rates.

For savers, retirees, and anyone holding cash in a bank, you’re the one being penalized.

Your dollars purchase less, your actual returns diminish, and your financial future becomes increasingly dependent on political decisions and Federal Reserve manipulations.

What This Means for Gold and Silver Investors

If you’re holding physical bullion, you’re already positioned advantageously.

Gold doesn’t require a central bank, and silver doesn’t need stimulus plans. Precious metals inherently preserve value—they thrive when fiat systems falter.

Final Word

The new US tariffs signify a deeper issue—the erosion of fiat value and the increasing politicization of trade and money. In times like these, don’t simply follow headlines—follow the gold.

Gold is money. Fiat is fragile. Choose wisely.
