Summary
This week Matt unpacks two quiet heists hiding in plain sight. First, why your paycheck and savings feel like they're shrinking even when the official numbers say everything's fine — and the Harvard-written playbook the Treasury is using to pay down the national debt with your purchasing power. Then, the $250,000 home sale tax break Washington promised back in 1997 — half of it has already been silently nuked by inflation, with one in three homeowners now on track to owe capital gains on what they thought was a tax-free sale. Senators Cruz and Scott are pressuring Treasury Secretary Bessent to fix it, but you don't have to wait — Matt walks through documented strategies you can use right now to protect what you've built.
