Government Says Inflation Is Low. Your Bills Say Otherwise.

Rick Rule argues that official CPI figures understate true cost-of-living increases, meaning conventional inflation measures fail to reflect real purchasing power loss.

Long-duration U.S. Treasury bonds pose hidden risks, as fixed yields around 4% may not adequately compensate for the actual erosion of purchasing power.

Rule holds short-term Treasury securities for liquidity while avoiding longer-duration government debt, favoring assets that better protect against real inflation.
