Inflation, Debt, and the $1 Million Starter Home: Why America's Economy Is Broken | 07-16-26

Sam breaks down why "cooling inflation" doesn't match reality, why solar power claims don't hold up, and why the housing market has spiraled into crisis, with starter homes now hitting $1 million in cities across America. He traces it all back to a debt-based economy, government regulation, and misplaced dependence on foreign supply chains, then makes the case for returning to constitutional currency, domestic manufacturing, and agricultural independence.
