It has become unaffordable to live in America for millions of people because the government can’t stop printing money.

The author argues that unsustainable government money printing has made living in America unaffordable for millions of people.

Background

- Anthony Pompliano ("Pomp") is a prominent crypto investor and podcaster known for Bitcoin advocacy. He frequently argues that U.S. inflation is driven by Federal Reserve money creation. - The post references a common critique of U.S. monetary policy: that quantitative easing (creating money to buy government debt) has eroded purchasing power, making housing, food, and energy unaffordable for many. - This argument is central to the "sound money" / Bitcoin thesis: that central-bank money printing inevitably devalues currencies, and that hard assets with fixed supply (like Bitcoin) are better stores of value. - The tweet's framing reflects frustration with post-2020 inflation, which peaked above 9% in 2022 and has cooled but left prices elevated.
