Is Your Money Safe? MSA Financial Transparency Crisis
When was the last time the MSA sent you a report on its financials? Members deserve transparency about how their union manages financial reserves in an era of dollar debasement and global economic uncertainty.
Is Your Money Safe? MSA Financial Transparency

The Transparency Problem

For years, MSA members have been told to "save in dollars" while being kept in the dark about the union's own financial management. When was the last time you received detailed financial records? The lack of transparency raises serious questions about how member dues and reserves are being protected.

Without regular financial reporting, members can't assess whether their union is prepared for economic challenges or if leadership is making sound financial decisions with their money.

The Economic Reality MSA Must Face

The global financial landscape is shifting rapidly, and traditional "safe" investment strategies are failing to protect wealth:

  • Dollar Debasement: U.S. debt has surged past $35 trillion, weakening the dollar with each round of monetary easing
  • Global Currency Shift: Saudi Arabia is exploring non-dollar oil sales, and China is building dollar-bypass systems
  • Portfolio Failure: Traditional bonds no longer hedge equities, and market volatility erodes balanced portfolios

Safe Havens Proving Their Strength

While traditional investments struggle, safe-haven assets are demonstrating their value:

  • Gold: Central banks are buying record levels as a hedge against currency debasement and geopolitical uncertainty—an inflation hedge proven over millennia
  • Silver: Now classified as a critical mineral in the U.S., offering both industrial demand and monetary hedge properties

Kenneth's Proven Financial Leadership

As DSA President, Kenneth successfully diversified union reserves into gold, silver, and Bitcoin, protecting member assets from dollar debasement. Under his leadership, DSA implemented:

  • Monthly financial transparency reports issued at our meetings
  • Diversified reserve strategy including precious metals
  • Member education programs on personal/retirement financial protection

The Path Forward for MSA

  1. Implement Immediate Transparency: Begin delivering regular, detailed financial reports so members know exactly how their money is being managed and protected
  2. Diversify Union Reserves: Begin strategic diversification into gold, silver, and other real assets that maintain value during economic uncertainty
  3. Educate Members: Provide education on safe-haven strategies for personal retirement accounts, helping members protect their individual wealth

MSA Members Deserve Accountability

Don't let your union's savings silently erode. Vote for leadership that will protect member assets and provide the transparency you deserve. Kenneth's proven track record of financial leadership at the DSA shows exactly what the MSA needs to secure its financial future.
