Peter, I wish you ... By: FaithfreedomFFI. on 07 Feb 12, 00:55:39 Peter, I wish you became the president. I read your book and you are the only person? that makes sense.
You lost me when ... By: koboricci. on 07 Feb 12, 00:46:17 You lost me when you listed "freedom"? among the rigid values republicans cling to. Not that they don't, but that the term is meaningless. What are you really trying to say?
The republicans? do ... By: Rubberjhon. on 06 Feb 12, 12:04:56 The republicans? do not stand for liberty, they don't represent the people but the corporations.
But there is hope there is one true republica? Ron Paul!!

that's what everyone i meet buying gold/silver seems to think. everyone is thinking its headed for the moon. maybe its headed higher who knows. but there comes a point in every investment where it sells off and the majority go over the waterfall before they know? it.
i don't know where its headed. i'm not selling my physical gold, but for now i'm not buying any more either. if i were to buy, i'd buy mining shares. they have done rather poorly compared to the metal price.

@orangedac You aint ... By: IBloodSweatTears. on 06 Feb 12, 00:20:03 @orangedac You aint seen nothing? yet in the silver market. When the dollar collapses. THEN you can say it's getting crowded. People are still asleep to gold and silver. Some people even think they are bubbles. But there is nothing to pop.
Look obama is super ... By: gnaples. on 05 Feb 12, 20:25:44 Look obama is super smart and is trying hard. He is a good family man, hhahahahaha- I couldnt keep going -I wouldnt hire Obama to write my lease-? he seems so profoundly, unalterably stupid. Let me hear him give a 5 minute speech on some area of the law, he is supposed to be a fantastic lawyer. His explanations on all topics are on a 3rd grade level and his decision-making buttresses that.
@IBloodSweatTears ... By: orangedac. on 05 Feb 12, 05:46:46 @IBloodSweatTears
the gold & silver trade is already very crowded. too many people buying thinking its headed to the moon. the whole commodity bandwagon is very crowded. that's why i've dropped out of it.
i still keep physical gold and will do so for the rest of my life just in case i'm wrong. but i don't think i'm going to get rich off it.?
@orangedac Secure ... By: IBloodSweatTears. on 04 Feb 12, 22:09:09 @orangedac Secure your assets. gold & Silver. Silver is more affordable. Slowly purchase? 90 percent silver coins (90 percent silver quarters, other 90% silver coins.) and American Eagle silver coins. Aswell as copper bullion. Silver & Gold mining stocks. Other secure stock investment including agriculture (since, even if we collapse completely, we will still need to eat.)
Schiff-onomics? = ... By: dumba55nsf. on 04 Feb 12, 17:34:38 Schiff-onomics? = Truth-onomics
the biggest problem ... By: orangedac. on 04 Feb 12, 09:56:19 the biggest problem the economy faces is that 20% of people are in banking, government, goldman sachs, paper shuffling... basically activies that are of no real benefit to the economy? and exist only on account of scamming money out of the productive economy.
In a nutshell, that is the problem. Bernanke, for instance, needs to get a real job instead of pretending to know what ails the economy. He's really just doing the bidding of his cronies the banks while pretending to "help" society.
the Federal Reserve ... By: orangedac. on 04 Feb 12, 09:49:21 the Federal Reserve is destroying my savings? and my health along with it.
@naadabindu One ... By: parkerjhansen1. on 03 Feb 12, 03:20:36 @naadabindu One only has to wonder how long the Chinese worker will continue to work for a $1 per hour, one day these workers will demand better pay. How will this affect their? economy? On the other hand I don't see how American auto-manufacturors can still afford to pay people $100k per year to work on the line...no business can survive with overpaid staff. I suppose we live in interesting times.
Love Peter. But ... By: naadabindu. on 03 Feb 12, 00:29:51 Love Peter. But many times the american worker is not paid to much. I dont see how american workers are supposed to compete with a third world minimum wage (globilization=cheap labor supply) and survive in an american environment. thats importing poverty. The prices rise while the worker gets squeezed for ever growing corp. profits. I know this is over-simplified, obiously there is too much distortion in the markets to begin with. hell, the profit margins are a distortion of the markets.?
@murfdog19 ... By: mrmonnet. on 02 Feb 12, 19:34:21 @murfdog19 Communist??? You are truly? showing your ignorance!!! Its 2012 you should know that both parties consist of the elite who want to bankrupt this country and form a one world govt. TURN FOX NEWS OFF AND PAY ATTENTION IDIOT!!!

@BottleYourBrand Ha ... By: murfdog19. on 01 Feb 12, 17:47:29 @BottleYourBrand Ha. Maybe he should run for president and show us how it's done.? Armchair presidents are worse than armchair quarterbacks.
@murfdog19? If you ... By: BottleYourBrand. on 01 Feb 12, 17:08:51 @murfdog19? If you listen to Schiff in the past, he's no fan of W. Bush, he's an independent. He was equally critical of GW.
The irony here is.. ... By: murfdog19. on 01 Feb 12, 16:21:08 The irony here is......republicans always like to credit the previous administration for our current state. Times were good when Clinton was? in office; give the credit to Reagan and Bush. Times were bad when G.W. Bush was in office; blame Clinton. Times are bad when Obama is in office; blame.......wait......Obama????
I'm beginning to ... By: iamtheghostwriter100. on 01 Feb 12, 08:00:36 I'm beginning to like the president. I begin to think the people of this country have it pretty good. Things are getting better. It was going bad for 7 years but Its not easy being president. However I can't see those that are running as president. Its as thou they don't know how to connect with most of the? people. I don't need to hear how to insult someone I need to hear what needs to be done to make this country work. I've only hear he president make sense on that topic. "Romney; really."

Farmer is arguing that FED should control both the supply of? money (and interest rates, so basicaly how much money you have) AND price levels (what you can afford), while still being independent from democratic government and that this was supposed to be right? REALLY?
That's like, the essence of total control on economics. Good God, if that guy is actually a consultant of FED (in Atlanta), no wonder they screwed up so badly.
Gotta love how the ... By: thebackbencher666. on 31 Jan 12, 16:53:04 Gotta love how the left is now against the bail outs. Not to mention anyone by name but the big conservatives on the right were against the bailouts from day 1.? Of course no one beats the libertarians on getting the economy right for decades.

The other two ... By: DiscoProJoe. on 25 Jan 12, 16:31:21 The other two economists seem utterly oblivious to the phrase, "No pain, no gain." They appear to be thinking, "Oh! We can never, ever allow people to bear hardship! That would be like? Armageddon!"
But ironically, free-market capitalism works so much better than regulated crony capitalism. In spite of occasional hardships in a free market (such as stock crashes, bank runs, high unemployment, or new inventions rendering entire industries obsolete overnight), living standards rise dramatically.
Not even a contest, ... By: aks25aks. on 25 Jan 12, 07:23:53 Not even a contest, this is a fantastic debate! This makes the Republican debates look like? a Third Grade Play....Peter you need to be Ron Pauls running mate! Or top advisor!

"People will die if ... By: Thatmakessense356. on 22 Jan 12, 03:19:05 "People will die if unemployment benefits are not extended." ? Do we really live in a society that is willing to keep poor people alive as long as someone else is paying for it? Or would it be more logical that a society willing to force people to keep others from starving would have a population large enough and wealthy enough, with good intentions enough to voluntarily keep people from starving on the streets?
I propose an idea ... By: Melki. on 21 Jan 12, 06:32:50 I propose an idea for a kind of bank that adjust principals of loans with CPI. So when inflation is 1% if I borrow 100 I should return 101, but if deflation was 1% I only have to return 99. Same apply to deposits, if you save money in a bank you get no interest but if? you invest money in a bank you get interest but your money should be able to be returned in alignment with CPI as well. So people get 2 types of bank accounts, 1. No Interest Savings account, 2. The investment account that earns.
