  • @SonnyTheWhiteDwarf so true

  • Respond to this video... Taxing the rich 90% forces them to reinvest in their companies for growth... Tariffs make them pay the cost of using child slave labor over seas and raping the environment. We need to keep all business here and take care of our own people. Capitalism is dead. We need national socialism.

  • @MrAppleseed88 first of all, socialism has been a catastrophic failure everywhere it's been tried, but secondly all taxing the rich at 90% guarantees is that they won't live here. and if the rich can only keep 10% of their profits, tariffs don't punish them, they punish the people who are actually buying the products. also, your solution to what you believe is the problem of rich people controlling the media is to instead hand over control to the government? doesnt seem like the best plan to me.

  • @redsoxx2424 Not so, they use national Socialism in israel today, so good only they can have it, so good evil bankers forced the world to kill innocent Germans to keep people form being free.

  • @MrAppleseed88 You are insane.

  • @SonnyTheWhiteDwarf yeah, the rich own the media and publication houses. Only what they want read is printed only what they want heard is aired on TV and radio. The companies that buy ad time on Rush Limbaugh are the same that buy air time on Randi Roauds. they own the message the masses are allowed to hear. We can not have freedom if the rich can control every aspect of business and life.

  • Crash Proof 2.0 is a great book!

  • The rich lied to us, and said if we gave them massive tax breaks over the last 40 years, Supply side econ would lift all boats... The rich tock all that money and dumped it in china slave labor and zero environmental laws, and removed all tariffs so they can dumb that slave made plastic crap in the USA for free. we need 90% tax on all monies after the 1st million, and massive tariffs on all over sea goods now. It worked great the 1st 200 years of the USA.

  • LOL... and 2 years latter here we are again. YES this video is almost 2 years old.

    Our economy is a speeding train and the operators have left the controls. The big question is do we derail it now or put it off for another year or two? All the engineers can do is put pennies on the track to try and slow it down.... you know.... cut $30 billion.... big deal.

  • Either way you look at it we are done! What happens to the Republican party if they cut a deal with Obama and raise the debt ceiling? How do we know for sure what will happen in terms of foreign perception? If it is negative there is no fixing it. The American way of life will cease almost overnight as for the first time since 1913 we'll HAVE to live according to what we have and not what we can borrow. That doomsday scenario painted for Dec,21,2012 sure fits!!!

  • Okay, So there are conflicting belief's as to what the results would be of allowing the debt ceiling to be breached without raising it.

    Both sides know the devastation that will come if we don't change our way of life. The Dems basically believe we'll lose global confidence resulting in foreign investment pulling out of the U.S. and thus crashing our financial system and on to the mad max scenario yada, yada,yada.

    The Republicans believe we'll be seen as responsible for not paying our debt.

  • Mr. Boehner threatens to commit TREASON!

    You know I knew it was only a matter of time before the Tea Party and the GOP overplayed their hand. And now we have the Speaker of the House go on national TV and threaten to commit TREASON. He has said that he is willing to do something that he believes will cause grave harm to the United States of America. ….Good luck defending this one.

  • Exactly--there is no ceiling when it comes to government expenditures according to the liberal spenders.

  • Debt retirement is a component of all budgets. Failure to raise the debt ceiling would immediately make the USA insolvent. If you can eliminate the deficit the debt will be retired over time. This sort of juvenile rant does not offer a genuine solution to the problem which will eventually consists of fewer tax breaks, cuts to most programs, tax increase and more robust economic growth. Grow up! It's time to get on with it.

  • This is truely frightening

  • the reason why the stock market is still climbing despite geopolitical turmoil is because the stock market has been "commoditized". People are fleeing fiat currencies to the relative safety and tangibility of stocks.

  • Schiff knows what’s going on! he’s years ahead of us... Damn this video was 5 Trillion Dollars ago! We are in for a great tribulation... Too bad Schiff cant take over Geithner position.

  • Ya know, Geithner's statement sounds suspiciously like "double speak". However, if the goal is to crash the dollar and unite currencies under special drawing rights or some other proposal Geithner's spot on, we're on the right track!

  • I thought this was about the January 2011 letter. Schiff is the man. He should re-release this vid as "Raising the debt ceiling, Again?

  • OMG, this is 2009 video. That guy wrote the same letter!

  • Sarah Palin, on Laura Ingraham's show. There is a tape of Obama in 2006 saying that raising the debt ceiling weakens the USA. This is the problem with our "media/press''. Now, that was in 2006 when he was, I guess a Senator for a few hundred days. The big O KNOWS it weakens the Country. Also, that was about 5/6 TRILLION $'s ago. The Republicans are the party of "NO"? You got that right. Somehow, the Democrats, all by themselves, have vaporized 5/6 TRILLION $'S. The Left, led by Nutty Nancy, nuts

  • It's selection time of year - CONGRESS YOU ARE ORDERED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING, SHUT THE HELL UP AND FOLLOW YOUR ORDERS . signed FED

    Question: why should we have to write our congress and tell them how stupid stupid is?

  • # Tell me why congress waited this long ? WTF - I have a hard time with congresses irresponsibility and stupidity selling out America. Credit raised 7 times in 5 years and no production? who gets 7 strikes before there out, not heard of in any American game. Who is Congress working for? 1. Shame on you 2. Shame on me 3. WTF 4. What the hell is wrong with you Congress 5.The president needs to be quarantined from America 6. Treason is evident 7. End the Fed - No then 8. End America
  • Statists are Statists!

    REAL CHANGE is NOT POSSIBLE as long as the Fed, Fiat Debt-Curreny and Fractional Reserve Banking exists.

    The Fed CORRUPTS crony politicians by giving them power to borrow, debase & spend to buy “support” from Special Interest Groups, Too Big to Fail corporations, the Military-Industrial Complex & Banking Cartel.

    Central Banking = Political Bribery & Cronyism!

    Watch: Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve" here on YouTube.

    We must AUDIT and then END THE FED.

  • I'm commenting on this, even though it is old, because it is in the news again.

    Isn't the problem with not raising the debt ceiling (considering it is mainly symbolic as our obligations have ALREADY exceded it) that we basically will be DEFAULTING on our debt? THAT's why it's not meeting our obligations?

    Won't it mean a panic in the bond market and higher interest for U.S. borrowing for possibly decades? Leading to INCREASED deficits as we have to service even MORE debt?

  • Peter

    I like your more detailed information..do not follow bad advice!

    Reality dictates your well reasoned and informative and honest explanations help to clarify the big picture.

  • Bush basically bailed out his Goldman Sachs buddies with taxpayer money.

  • Schiffty Pete, still fearmongering.

    "I don't worry about the deficit' - Ronald Reagan

    "Reagan taught us deficits don't matter" - Dick Cheney

  • There is a short-term gain with deficits i.e. debt, but when the bills are due the deficits are a trap. Bush, Cheney, and Reagan got what they wanted short-term but long term the government saw an increased burden.

  • @AtlasShruggery

    They do when they are over a trillion dollars a year.

  • @AtlasShruggery reagan also had the highest tax rate in american history [up to 90%] . that's why he didn't have to worry/ now that the rich pay no tax, it's a different matter

  • Here's the good news we've all been waiting for.RIP

  • Why do are elected officials keep letting us down yet we keep voting them in again and again?

  • I think it's hillarious the way youtubers are desperately trying to convince people were spending too much. Everyone knows it. it's the politicians who change their way on day one after elected.

  • A jubilee requires that our creditors have mercy. The global banking elites have none. They're out for blood. Be very careful when the globalists start to offer an amero or another currency as some kind of jubilee or do-over. They are deceitful wolves prowling in search of prey to devour.

  • Since tax cuts have been proven to bring in more $ for the government, why are democrats against them, while insisting on raising taxes to create higher deficits and bigger government? Why did the GOP spend so much money when in control of congress? The answers are that both parties are playing the people for fools, while doing the opposite to keep most of us mad, confused and in the dark, as they plan and plot against us. Votes are meaningless anymore.

  • They dont want to lower taxes, because they're financing 2 wars, and wasting money on special interest groups, research and lobbyists.

    This is why they're trying focus on lower medical care, they want insurance/medical industry to eat the costs cuts, not them having to address taxation, debt and waste spending.

    Peter Schiff is so correct, we have to produce our way out of recessions.

  • Democrats aren't interesting in bringing in revenue; they're looking for control. High taxes keep people dependent on government. Low taxes are only given with strings attached.

  • GREAT!

  • The dirty little secret conservatives dont want us to notice is that they deficit spend as well-its just in service of different special interest. Tax cuts and wars cost money just like entitlement programs do and borrowing for one is inherently not better than borrowing for another. Reagan didnt "pay" for his tax cuts with spending cuts and neither did Bush. GOP never does and conservatives never demand it. Whole philosophy is empty. If Obama borrowed 1tril to fix estate tax Peter would dance.

  • Forget the red/blue left/right bullshit. Look who is above you, not to your left or right. learn about the Federal reserve. we need to be united to fight the banker overlords that own the corporations (all corps are owned major share by banks) and our government. You have schiff confused with Neocons.

  • so true dude. that whole red blue thing was started I think to show people how absurd the left right paradigm is. there is no need to convince anyone. we ALL know what this guy says is true.

  • Fact is when Clinton left office, there were 23mil jobs created and an 800bil surplus. When Bush left office, there were 2.5mil jobs created and a 1.3tril deficit. You conservatives were cheerleading us borrowing 1.7tril for Bush's tax cuts but where are the jobs that was to create? You kept silent as Bush swallowed his veto pen for years. Nearly 3tril in Iraq and all of a sudden you care about deficits. Bush told us that war would cost 60bil tops. Peter you guys are flaming hypocrites buddy.

  • You better google peter Schiff and foreign policy, then come back and apologize.

    here I'll help you: watch?v=k7RJSiV3GVQ

    quote: "I was very much against the Iraq war from the beginning"

  • First conservatives claimed that the "stimulus" would have no effect-now its clear it has helped and they claim it doesn't matter because the economy will suffer when the effect subsides. Hey Peter, google "intellectual dishonesty". Obama's choices were stimulate the economy or simply "do nothing" and "hope for the best". You all didn't see the crisis coming but you know "for certain" what would've happened if no stimulus was used. Where were you when Bush was spending? Google "hypocrisy" next.

  • New subscriber checkin in.

  • Peter.. you are one of the few people who is making any sense to me!!

  • read the Austrian economists at Mises (dot) org.

    They understand common sense economics like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul and Gary North.

  • Peter why do you try to help the smugg a holes. I hope all you smugg pigs rot in hell.

  • You might also consider buying a decent microphone - it's hard to listen to such shrill audio.

  • You are a gem Peter Schiff, a courageous straight-shooter.

  • Geithner is the biggest idiot i have seen in Goverment. He makes mockery of the american people like they don't exist or don't know whats going on.

  • The people that currently make up DC are only there to do whatever it takes to stay there! They are not there for the good of the country! Tough decisions will never be made in DC!

    I live in an area that has been controlled by one Party for the last 60 years and it is almost a ghost town!

  • He should win the senate and then run for president in 2012!

  • Featured video! Congrats Peter.

  • I really enjoy this blog. Keep 'em coming Peter.

  • Hey Peter, you're onto something with your "dough for dumps" program. Except in this program, the government should issue credits to buy old homes, and destroy the 20 million vacant new homes they allowed to be built. This would be a win-win, because the greedy government gets to keep all those building permit fees they collected, and we'll be left with a housing inventory that actually matches our population. Now, can I be your running mate?

  • So all the economists on wallstreet got it wrong?

  • You are surprised because you assumed that they knew what they are doing. This is a false assumption. The "mainstream" has no idea what is happening because they are men with college degrees and formal educations that teach them the Neo-Keynesian model of government expenditures and interest rate manipulation to "guide" our economy into prosperity. This model has become their collective paradigm, an worldview they are so dependent on they cling to it even as its truths crumble around them.

  • The book we used in Micro and Macro was written by Gregory Mankiw and were told that translated versions were used by students throughout the world. Throughout the later chapters there are case studies for everything from tariffs to rental ceilings. It's not a partisan book by any means it goes indepth in the positives/negatives of lassez fair and also government regulation. Laffeur had half a chapter dedicated to him. Keynesians has its negatives but so does the do-nothing approach.

  • Obama is setting up Ben Bernanke for another term!!!!! Take that America!!!!!!!

  • yahooo; more destruction

  • Obama is going to kick your ass!!!!

  • to guote a former psycho pres.(bush) BRING IT ON!

  • Obama is going to fuck you up the ass and jizz on your face!!!!

  • gross. is that what you want him to do to you?

  • You think that is all he is going to do to you??!!! After he jizzes all over your face... he will then make you look at his ugly ass wife!!!! Oh NO!!!!!! I fell sorry for you!!!!!

  • you want to have a threesome with them

  • First, no... Second, I do not want to have sex with a character from planets of the apes!!!! (Referring to Michelle)

  • i have to go now; michelle is waiting

  • I agree, running a bigger deficit is just absurd. hell just look at this site:

    usdebtclock org

    and tell me if running more deficits is sustainable..

  • There is no political pressure from anyone to bring government spending back to a sustainable level. We should all write Congress to tell them to stop spending now. I wrote to my congressman about it; he hasn't responded.

    The sad thing is, if you seriously promoted Dough for Dumps as one of your policies, you might be a more popular candidate. What if you make it a campaign promise? You don't have to live up to those after all. You always talk about George Costanza and doing the opposite. hm...

  • wanna bet

  • he works for those counterfeiting central banker scumbags, he knows what hes doing alright

  • He's (Geithner) that EVIL.

    They know what they are doing. The GAME is NOT to let US know what they are doing, thus the reason Ron Paul is pushing for a FEDERAL RESERVE audit.

  • Comment removed

  • Another idea to improve viewership: Stand up when you deliver. Sounds silly, I know but it will work. That's why so many folks on the news stand up. (Or at least raise your web cam up so it's not looking UP at you.. it's a weird angle.) Just an idea. Love your stuff, btw.

  • Its very simple. The blame is to be put squarely on the shoulders of the american people. They have voted in people that truly believe that the current tax code is sound and without flaws. Rich people will most certianly leave and not create jobs if their taxed to much. Jobs dont come from poor people. They come from rich people. If the rich are not incentivised to hire more employees than unimployment will continue. This nation is way too far in debt, but thats what the American people want.

  • X-CELL-ANT !!!!!

    When you LOWER taxes on the rich, they start spending their money=invest in business for higher return rather than hiding it. When you raise taxes on rich, they don't pay higher taxes, they just hide so the don't pay taxes.You want rich people to spend money so you can become rich.You always want RICH TO RISK! :)

    People are funny. They HATE the rich UNTIL they have a rich FRIEND & then they bow down to them just to be their friend because the rich are "friends with benefits."

  • peter is awesome

  • @FreedomIsSecurity Pete is The Schifzfzle

  • good tip to keep these videos at 5 minutes. i like hearing him for 10, but we know a lot of people won't stay interested for too long...especially when they don't understand shit

  • I like the 10 minutes!!!!!

  • This administration has no intention of cutting spending. No doubt big tax hikes are coming for all the spending.

  • those articles on that site whoopsamerica are soo funny!

  • I like the new 5 minute format. Try to select an accurate message.

    Obama does give some hope during his health care town halls. He does attempt to pay for it. Unlike Bushes prescription drug bill where they just added to the deficit.

    However, Obama made the mistake that debt affects future generations. No all debt is inflation and effects the dollar with a slight lag.

    God I hate these politicans.

  • the numbers came out today...In 10 years Obama would have raised the debt to 9 TRILLION. He's not paying for anything...he's making the tax payer pay for it until we are broke...then the Gov't can be comfortable in running everyone's lives. NOPE

  • That number seems to be about right. Not to talk it right at all, but Bush spend double this amount.

    To me they both aren't the answer for the USA.

  • @ceasey0xoogurl

    Hello, I went on this channel because today is Sun. Jan 9th 2011 and I thought it would be good to catch up on TODAYS topic about raising the debt. So, I watch and see your post. Only then did it hit me that it's from 2009. Everything old is new again, eh? This is so sad, it would be "funny" if it was not so stupid. The Dem's have controlled the HOuse/Sen since 2006 B 4 this last election they wouldn't do a budget&they have kicked this to the Republican's. Insane.

  • Interesting video. I have a lot to learn.

    I liked the 9:00 vids. Usually about 3 subjects, 3 minutes per subject.

  • Glad your interested and open minded...you won't regret it!

  • I would love to see a televised debate between Timothy Guitner and Peter Schiff.. make it a pay~per~view for all those who became millionaires in the past 10yrs and their ppv fee will be ummmm $1Million dollars and put the money towards a legal team to arrest and jail the traitors that orchastrated this collapse from NAFTA to the present.. see, even our justice department doesn't work..

  • Thanks for all the work you're doing, Peter.

  • coz i was doing ur mom at the time they where learning basic english.

  • StylinRed is nuts

  • That's what we have done for 50 years. Destroying or breaking other countries with the excuse of war and then trying to make money "rebuilding" them.

    Thats what the fools on CNBC were touting when Iraq was invaded. Jim Cramer in particular.

    ALL THIS IS GOING TO COME BACK AND BITE US.

  • u american peole r dumbs as hell.

    ur goverment is passing bills on giveing israel and pentagon trillions of $ abd u people don´t even care. u peopel don´t care if the half ogthe american peopel don´t have healtcare. bur israel have to have the billions of ur taxpayers money every years.

    patathic nation

  • @tobias

    We are dumb. We are pathetic. I sincerely apologise on behalf of my embarrassing fellow citizens and my evil, corrupt government. I assure you that 1/5 of US citizens are upset and aware of what is going on. The other 4/5 are blinded by TV and the media.

  • At least people are waking up to the majority of idiots in our congress.

  • this guy is nuts.

  • The US government needs to spend smarter. There should never have been such large stimulus bills. Rather, they should have been cut into smaller bills, and each should have laid out what the money was going to. The congress was STUPID to just blindly approve a spending bill without knowing where it was going. The government should never give handouts without expecting a return or collateral. The government is responsible for doing what's best for the country. Giving trillions to banks isn't.

  • Healthcare reform, social security reform and military reform are the three biggest areas to save money. Those need to be done above all else. Paying down the debt, to reduce interest payments, which is eating up your budget. Cutting programs that don't work, like war on drugs, fighting illegal aliens, ect. It's a waste of money. Opening more revenue streams. Higher taxes, geared towards the rich. Closing the gap between middle and upper class. More taxes and less spending is the way out.

  • what about saveing money by not giving any to israel.

    isreal gets billions evry year. Obama said it in APAIC that day he became president that he will give israel billions more billion then american taxpayer allready have giving them the last 60years

  • That's a penny in contrast to the problems that america faces. 86% of all US spending is in Healthcare, Social Security, Military and Interest. That is where you'll get the biggest savings by making cuts and restructuring. Bringing down the debt ceiling is important. By eliminating the debt, you'd save 8% of spending. By increase debt, you increase the interest, decreasing how much you can actual spend. Raise taxes, cut programs. Save America. Easier said than done.

  • I can only think of the image of an Ostrich with its head in the sand.

  • I heard YouTube sends an e-mail with recommendations about how your videos should be. That's why there's an ad on the right side, next to the video.

    Peter's a YouTube partner now.

  • Where can I get an Uncle Sam credit card that allows me to set my own credit limit?

    The more I watch what is going on in the US I keep thinking of an old Chinese proverb

    Those who the gods would destroy they first send insane.

  • Smart man!

  • skip the senate run and go for president, you got my vote!

  • haha i have the same modem and router and the same views as schiff

  • Peter, I don't think it matters if u take 5, 10 or 20 minutes. It's the content of the message that counts. If there's something important to say, why shouldn't u record a longer video?

  • Peter. Make your own road.

    5 minutes, 10 minutes, 60 minutes on Wall Street Unspun. Who cares? Your opinion is no less valid if your videos are shorter.

  • i watched when it was 10 min

  • Your 100% right.Great work keep it up we are pulling for you!!!

  • 5 minute video is good by the way!

  • Insurance companies are not even allowed to operate between state lines. That's a huge reason for high prices. Worse, it's a complete violation of the powers enumerated to Congress by our Constitution.

    Second enumerated power: "To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes"

    When the Constitution was written "to regulate" meant "to make regular"... to make sure that there WAS commerce between the states.

    Not to control every aspect of it.

  • I think we need to be more worried about this healthcare bill than anything. It's completely unconstitional under the 9th and 10th amendments. The Constitution is now just a piece of paper.

    They talk about high costs for healthcare? They help to cause most of these high costs!

  • If this new, shorter formet means you post more videos - then I am all for it.

    Thanks again Peter, I (as usual) agree with what you are saying. I liked the 'dough for dumps' part - funny.

    Have a great weekend.

  • I wish I lived in Connecticut so I could vote Schiff in and Dodd out.

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent points again!

    Govt: "black is white, red is blue, up is down."

    Orwell....yup.

    Govt propaganda game....for the rest of time. Hopefully the internet will be the undoing of it all!

  • Peter you are making TOO MUCH SENSE. "The people who are always trying to scare people" oh wait fishy Linda said that.  Please have a debate with Geithner -would love to see that.

  • 10 minutes seems to be the most informative.. 5 minutes seems to be enough for your news broadcasts, rather than your commentary.. because you look like you're rushing yourself to fit FANTASTIC INFO in a short space.. I think your potential voters need the info to support you.. however the serious players will listen to Wallstreet Unspun.. BOTH fantastic broadcasts.. KEEP IT REAL.. you're doing great

  • As usual, Peter is right on the mark! Regardless if your video blogs are five minutes or ten, please keep 'em coming!

  • Oh, yeah, and Timothy Geithner is completely full of shit in al cases.

  • The Congressional debt ceiling is kind of like my morning alarm. I'll hit snooze every 5 minutes for half an hour until I absolutely have to get up.

  • I think Robert Kennedy explained quite well how poorly we measure the success of nations.

    watch?v=77IdKFqXbUY

  • The Banksters aren't stupid....they're CRIMINALS!

  • Really enjoy the videos, Peter. Keep'em comin'.

  • Debt "ceiling" on a foreclosed home?

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, keep the videos shorter. That way I can show them to my friends without their eyes glossing over. You have to realize the majority crowd you wish to reach are dumb.

  • Can't argue with your last sentence.

  • Thank you for posting !

  • ***WAKE UP***

    Need to focus on the root cause!!! If we do not, bad things will just keep happening.

    Root Cause of Corruption which is destroying "We The People":

    1) Criminal Central Banks

    2) Our criminal Congress both House & Senate (minus a few such as Ron Paul)!

    3) The criminal US administration.

    4) "Authorities" that do not follow the Constitution are criminals.

    Remember, the real authority is "We The People".

  • Next they'll offer a program to trade in sick children for healthy ones. They'll call it kids for crack.

  • LOL. Schiff posted a "Dough for dumps" parody on his facebook page.

  • talk as long as you want , it is freedom of speech! Schiff for Pres!

  • more videos

    and make em longer

    and please, describe EXACT changes you would do if you were in charge?

    what kind of spending you would cut?

    what about taxes?

  • Come on guy, he's an Austrian. The answer is everything.

  • Again, pay attention to the Republican. When Peter Schiff says "obligation", what he is referring to is the obligation to Americans. What Geithner was referring to, was the obligation to US creditors - foreign countries that buy our debt. Now of course we aren't paying our creditors back, just yet at least. What we're doing is keeping the economy going. Yes, it is an inflationary bubble, and Peter makes some good points. But it is easy to say what he is saying when he isn't a politician.

  • Hi Peter,

    I will contact my Congressman John Tierney of MA to vote against raising the debt ceiling. His first Town Hall meeting will be via telephone with no actual crowd. You have to register to call in...That is so cowardly. He has lost my vote for the next election.

    I support your efforts in running against Chris Dowd in CT.

  • This deficit spending might not be so bad if we didn't do it every single year. If the gov had a balanced budget and paid down the debt in the good times. In this way, we would get the help when we need it and inflation would be negated during the good times. But DC runs a bigger and bigger deficit every single year, good times or not. We are going to pay the piper, it's just a matter of time and I believe time is short.

  • You did a great job Peter. 5 minutes flat ;)

    Whether its 5 or 10 minutes...the message is clear to me. As Alwayz.

  • Peter, we will never stop listening to your great advice! If only our gov't were as smart as us. hahaha

  • Soon we will not even be able to pay the interest! Can you say hello NEW WORLD ORDER!

  • Please don't ruin Schiff's campaign with that crap.

  • I'll take 5 or 10 ... whatever time it takes for you to inform us. I doubt going from 10 to 5 is going to increase your audience. Keep up the good work!

  • Peter, I'd prefer fewer videos but longer ones.

    I'll still watch it though, youre doing a great job.

  • I like it when you make long blogs so i dont have to keep changing video's wile I'm playing my video games.

  • exactly and tax those who made the most in the last 8 years

  • I've never known anyone to actually want to go into debt. Why should the government be different? Pay up, and be free again. That's the way I see it.

  • I prefer the five minute format if it means more updates and more of a variety in topics. Keep up the good work!

  • Federal programs will expand to cover housing demolition and 'upgrades', but it will be called "War on Housing Crisis" not "dough for dumps". They will relent in returning to the "war on" moniker to sort this pesky surplus of living space out. hahaha On second thought, maybe just go with big inflation.

  • Peter you should NOT limit yourself by the "popular believes". If people are dumb enough to be "repelled" by a video longer than 5 minutes that is their problem. Do not tray to make a "product" that sells good...make a product that has quality.

  • You make a good point to encourage the legislature not to increase the ceiling. Great idea, too bad we have people in the legislature who know they will need to increase the debt.

    America needs to wake up, this is absolutely stupid.

  • the broken window isnt Hazlitt's though, its Bastiat's isnt it?

  • LOL, Dougn for Dumps? NICE! Seriously though Peter, don't give them any ideas.

  • my view on peter is there is so much i disagree with but on the other hand there is is so much i agree with i guess what it boils down to is if nothing else he keeps me thinkingand i guess that is a good thing

  • Thanks for the video, Mr. Schiff. I'm a new subscriber. 22 years old coming from Washington state. You really make a lot of sense and I support your senate bid.

    Cash for Clunkers truly was an example of the backwards policies of the White House. I suppose if people actually bought things they could afford the program would have been more relevant, but who am I kidding? We live in a world dominated by credit.

    Question, do you think things will ever get better? If so, what needs to happen?

  • I like want he said about US economy going into debt, but with two wars going on.

  • Economy in one lesson - by H Hazlitt is just in front of me !

    What a classic !

    When i hear someone talkin about this book i open my eyes !

  • that book fucking owns. Its so amazing how simple it is, yet "geniuses" like Krugman cant understand it lol

  • Good stuff, but I believe it was Bastiat that first came up with the broken window fallacy.

    Oh, and I'm not sure how blog length would affect views, but I'll be happy to see more frequent blogs even if they're shorter.

  • I like the five minute videos. You have a tendency to ramble if you're given the opportunity. When your time is limited you stick to the topic and use your strongest arguments. The shorter videos will be more effective.

    About the view/rating count. I didn't even notice that. Seriously, how can there be more ratings than people watching the video?

  • I'm not sure why you were downvoted for making a good point, have an upvote, on the house.
