In the latest episode of the Money Metals Midweek Memo, host Mike Maharrey dives deep into the Federal Reserve’s ever-changing stance on inflation, the reality behind rising consumer prices, and a seemingly unrelated yet important development—the end of the U.S. penny.
Through sharp analysis and historical comparisons, Maharrey explains why the government’s monetary policy continues to erode the value of the dollar while reinforcing the importance of holding physical gold and silver.
Inflation: The “Transitory” Illusion
Maharrey opens with a reference to Monty Python’s famous
Dead Parrot sketch, drawing a humorous but telling analogy between the Federal Reserve’s handling of inflation and the pet shop owner’s refusal to admit the bird was dead.
