Rick Rule: “The Only Way to Honor $100 Trillion in Debt Is to Devalue the Dollar”

“The circumstance that we existed in from 1980 to 2020 — while it was very pleasant — is over,” says Rick Rule, legendary investor and founder of Rule Investment Media. Speaking with Daniela Cambone at the Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, Rule warns that the era of low interest rates has ended, and U.S. dollar hegemony is weakening.

“It seems to me that the only way that you honor the nominal value of our obligations… is by devaluing the purchasing power,” he says, pointing to over $100 trillion in entitlements and debt. “You honor the nominal obligation of Social Security to an old geezer like me by continuing to pay him $4,000 a month... but by devaluing the dollar.”

Looking back at history, Rule points out that in the 1970s, the purchasing power of the dollar “declined by 75%,” and that “the gold price ran 30-fold.” He believes the setup is repeating and this time, “we are in a gold and gold equities bull market." No, we're not waiting for it. We're here," he concludes.
