Benefits, Pensions & MONEY PRINTING: How the WEST Bankrupted ITSELF

We dig into the UK welfare crisis, state pensions, PIP abuse, national debt, fiat currency and quantitative easing – and ask whether the Western welfare model is now collapsing under its own weight. In this episode of The Gospel According to Dr Roger, I’m joined by personal finance expert, broadcaster and author Jasmine Birtles to expose what is really happening to welfare, debt and your future.

Jasmine explains why the growing elderly population, an army of economically inactive adults and an ever-expanding benefits bill are creating an unsustainable burden on a shrinking base of working taxpayers. We discuss the true cost of the state pension, PIP and disability benefits, the rise in people “living off the land”, and why taxpayers and younger generations are being crushed by fiscal drag.

We also get into macroeconomics: UK debt-to-GDP, interest on quantitative easing (QE), the madness of paying banks on fake printed money, the slow death of fiat currency, and whether gold, Bitcoin or a gold-backed digital currency could be part of the answer.

On top of that, we look at media failure, political cowardice, the rise of redistribution politics, and what life could look like under Labour, the Conservatives, the Greens and Reform. Are we heading for a massive crash – and can anyone in Westminster be trusted to fix it?

If you care about welfare, pensions, debt, tax, the cost of living and the future of your children and grandchildren, this conversation with Jasmine Birtles is essential viewing.
