THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ANALYSIS I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ECONOMY AS IT STANDS TODAY: ***************ADVICE: BRACE YOUR SELF!! ************ Washington is engaged in a massive campaign to make Americans believe the economy is in recovery. But in reality the United States is at the brink of a devastating economic crash that will cause catastrophic market losses and impoverish millions. Thats according to Peter Schiff, the best-selling author and CEO of Euro Pacific Capital. The problem with politicians is they dont want to level with the voters and tell them how bad the economy really is and what the cure for the disease is, Schiff said. The disease Schiff refers to is a toxic combination of our massive $17.2 trillion debt and the Feds continued devaluing of the dollar through its controversial 7-year long easing program. The Fed is currently purchasing $65 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds, a form of stimulus. President Obama and like-minded politicians claim this stimulus has pushed the economy forward, boosting GDP and keeping inflation low. But Schiff says its another lie. In fact, according to Schiff, the government has done nothing more than create a phony economy that is completely dependent on the ability to borrow more money that we cant pay back. The Fed knows that the U.S. economy is not recovering, Schiff said. It simply is being kept from collapse by artificially low interest rates and quantitative easing. As that support goes, the economy will implode. The crisis is imminent, Schiff said. I dont think Obama is going to finish his second term without the bottom dropping out. And stock market investors are oblivious to the problems. Schiff charged Washington with cooking the books on its latest GDP and inflation figures. He cites the governments recent move to raise GDP 3% by including items never calculated before and that no other country on the planet counts. These include such intangibles costs and royalties from books, magazines iTunes song and movies. The Financial Times reported this strange maneuver as the U.S. Economys Hollywood Makeover. Thats what the government does, Schiff said. Whenever they dont like the results, they change the methodology for calculating those results. Maybe some of our creditors will be dumb enough to believe the hype, Schiff added. The fact is, Schiff said. Were broke. We owe trillions. Look at our budget deficit; look at the debt to GDP ratio, the unfunded liabilities. If we were in the Eurozone, they would kick us out. Schiff points out recent market gains, with the Dow recently setting record highs and remaining above 16,000, is yet another lie giving investors a false sense of security. Its not that the stock market is gaining value... its that our money is losing value. And so if you have a debased currency... a devalued currency, the price of everything goes up. Stocks are no exception, he said. I think we are heading for a worse economic crisis than we had in 2007, Schiff said. Youre going to have a collapse in the dollar...a huge spike in interest rates... and our whole economy, which is built on the foundation of cheap money, is going to topple when you pull the rug out from under it. American seniors whove been paying taxes their whole lives WILL bear the price of Washingtons folly. SO WILL EVERY WORKER WHO GETS HIS TAXES DEDUCTED AT SOURCE! A noted economist, Schiff has been a fierce critic of the Fed and its policies for years. And his warnings have proven to be prophetic. In August 2006, when the Dow was hitting new highs nearly every day, Schiff said in an interview: The United States is like the Titanic, and Im here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship... I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States. Just over a year later, the meltdown that became the Great Recession began, just as Schiff predicted. He also predicted the subprime mortgage bubble burst, nearly a year before the real estate market fully crashed. His recent warnings, however, have been even more alarming. Will they also prove to be true? Unemployment will skyrocket, credit will dry up, and worse, the dollar will collapse completely, wiping out all savings and sending consumer prices into the stratosphere. Schiff estimates this cancer could consume a trillion dollars from consumers this year. Today were the worlds greatest debtor nation. Companies, homeowners and banks are so highly leveraged, rising interest rates will be devastating. According to polls, the average American is indeed sensing danger. A recent survey found that 61% of Americans believe a catastrophe is looming - yet only 15% feel prepared for such a deeply troubling event. ******************************* My Prediction: THEN THE SOCIALISTS WILL TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY ...IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE.... Mission Accomplished The plan that was started 100 years ago will be a reality for the Socialists/Progressives who have been at it relentlessly!! THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS A REVOLUTION AND RESTORE... Its depressing that we do not see this and think an election cycle will change this!!
