to our program. They said that. The quiet part, right? It's right here in this report from this fringe

outfit called the Treasury Department that says, we're on an unsustainable path. Now we have to

talk about what that means. Hello, everyone, Chris Martinson at Peak Prosperity and Peak Financial Investing here with you again.

Back with Paul. Paul Kiker of Kiker Wealth Management. Good to see you, Paul. Good to see you as well, Chris.

Always a pleasure. Oh, likewise. Likewise. Great

conversations we've been having, and I'm eager to continue this one today. So, you know,

go to work. They had to get a paycheck. They've got kids in college. Whatever the stories are,

all complicated. But for people who didn't have the financial freedom to say no to certain things,

they had to really put up with some things that were not

ideal. You were declared an essential worker and sent out into situations maybe you didn't want to

go into. Maybe you were forced to take the magic holy thing, which we now know was not very

There's some stuff coming that people need to know about, and I want them to know about it. And there's no easy answers to this stuff, but it's right there for us to see if we have the eyes for it. It's there for us if we can hear about it. So I just

want to throw that out there. And by the way, this stuff comes to me through a really wacky.
