The $226 Billion Disaster They Don't Want You To See | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a ZeroHedge report submitted by Patreon supporter Logan D'Alessandro regarding the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revising U.S. household personal savings downward by over $226 billion. Graham details the reality of the working-class pay cheque-to-pay cheque crisis, the fragility of consumer spending, housing and student loan bubbles, and actionable steps for personal financial independence.
