Fifty years from now. an obscure academic from an obscure college will write an obscure paper about “The Total Waste, Fraud, Abuse, and Mismanagement of $4 Trillion in COVID-19 Relief Funds During the 2020 Pandemic.”
Three people will read it and immediately forget it. It will end up being filed away, never to be seen or heard of again.
That’s a shame for several reasons. First is accountability. The dozens and dozens of government managers responsible for wasting hundreds of billions of dollars or doing nothing while hundreds of billions more were stolen, misused, or flat-out lost will go unidentified. In many nations, such as Japan, this kind of incompetence is severely punished. In America, you get promoted.
Secondly, without learning the lessons from wasted pandemic spending, we’re certain to repeat the same mistakes, hire the same kinds of idiots and morons to disburse the money, and then frantically try to hide their incompetence to avoid responsibility.
A recent Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) report reveals some incredible examples of waste, fraud, and abuse at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during the pandemic. What was FEMA doing issuing billions of aid during the non-disaster COVID-19 pandemic? I don’t think anyone’s gotten a satisfactory answer to that question. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
