Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of The Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine how the war involving Iran is already increasing costs for U.S. businesses and why the price hikes seen so far may be only the early stages of a broader inflation wave. The discussion looks at reduced oil flow, delayed shipping effects, higher transportation costs, and the way those pressures spread into groceries, travel, construction materials, and everyday household goods.The episode also turns to the larger structural problem behind the headlines: America’s expanding debt burden. Dean and Chris explain that even as war-related inflation pushes higher, the debt and interest problem continues compounding in the background, making it harder for policymakers to control inflation without worsening other parts of the system.Key topics include:war-driven price increases for businesses and consumersdelayed supply-chain effects from lower oil flowwhy small businesses often raise prices firstthe compounding effect of inflation and debtwhy interest-rate pressure no longer solves the problem cleanlyhow these trends fit the broader “Secret War on Cash” thesisBrought to you by Swiss America.Get your free Secret War on Cash Report today.Call or text: 1-800-289-2646Visit: https://www.swissamerica.com/socialSubscribe to The Secret War on Cash for ongoing insight into gold, silver, inflation, central banks, the dollar, and the changing financial landscape
