How Elections Impact Money and the Stock Market: The Case for Money Safety in Your Policy
Elections can significantly influence the economy, the stock market, and your personal finances. Whether it’s Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in office, the underlying reliance on central banks and their fractional banking system remains unchanged. Understanding this relationship can shed light on how we navigate our financial futures, especially in uncertain times.
The Role of Central Banks and Fractional Banking
Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve established by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, are responsible for managing the economy by controlling the money supply and interest rates. One of the primary mechanisms they use is fractional banking, a system where banks are only required to keep a fraction of their deposits in reserve. This allows them to lend out the majority of deposits, creating new money in the process.
For example, if you deposit $1,000, the bank may keep $100 in reserve and lend out $900. This lending multiplies the money supply, which can stimulate economic growth. However, this system has a significant downside: it can lead to inflation, often described as a “silent tax” on all Americans.
The Silent Tax: Inflation
When banks create money through lending, it increases the overall money supply. If this increase outpaces the growth of goods and services in the economy, it leads to inflation—prices rise, and the purchasing power of your money decreases. This situation is akin to what occurred in ancient Rome when Julius Caesar debased the denarius. He reduced the silver content in the coins, leading to rampant inflation and contributing to the eventual fall of Rome.
Today, we find ourselves on a similar path. Despite advancements in technology and finance, we are witnessing inflationary pressures that erode our purchasing power, and many fail to see the writing on the wall. Political changes and economic policies can lead to uncertainty, but the fundamentals of how money works remain.
The Impact of Elections on the Stock Market
The stock market often reacts to election outcomes, driven by speculation about policies that may influence economic growth. However, regardless of who occupies the White House, the reliance on the fractional banking system continues. Market fluctuations can create stress and anxiety about our financial futures, but it’s essential to recognize that the true safety of your money may lie outside the traditional banking system.
A Solution: Privatizing Banking with Infinite Banking
This is where the Infinite Banking Concept, as taught by R. Nelson Nash, comes into play. Nash advocates for bringing banking back to the "You and Me" level, empowering individuals to take control of their finances by creating their own banking systems through specially engineered whole life insurance policies.
Instead of relying on banks and facing the risks of inflation, individuals can build cash value in their policies that grows tax-free. These policies are designed to provide guaranteed growth, dividends, and access to funds without the constraints of traditional banking. You can use this cash value to fund major purchases, pay off debts, or invest in opportunities while keeping your money safe from inflationary pressures.
Long-Term Financial Security
By privatizing banking, you not only safeguard your wealth against the silent tax of inflation but also create a legacy for future generations. This long-term perspective is crucial in a world where economic conditions can change rapidly due to political factors.
The beauty of the Infinite Banking Concept is that it allows you to bypass the pitfalls of the traditional banking system while empowering you to manage your finances proactively. Rather than being at the mercy of inflation or stock market volatility, you can ensure that your wealth is protected and grows over time.
