This interview with Chris Martenson is great! He really explains the landscape of the problems in Europe, far better than any other guest or interview I have seen.

Meaningless US jobs numbers, yes indeed. For a different perspective on the economy, take a look at "Weekly US Product Supplied of Petroleum Products" on the EIA website and observe the trend. This and many other indicators don't look very good right now.

Only two percent of US consumer expendature is on products made in China? 3:40

Once again Lauren is willing to question the numbers and talk about the other aspects of the issue. She is getting to be the best and most competent economic interviewers out there.

The "talking heads" just keep trying to cut off his statements and distort what he has said, then they present questions prefaced by their own erroneous assumptions, trying to steer what he has to say.

Yes, isn't it curious how many "uncirculated" rolls of Morgans show up on eBay these days, all dated the same year, all immaculately clean. How strange it would be for mint rolls of uncirculated coins a hundred years old to be suddenly showing up in such numbers.

This video is going to be another classic installment of "Peter Schiff Was Right" that we are going to be looking at over and over a couple years from now. Hopefully we will not be standing in the total ruins of our economy when we are watching it. Maybe some of our leaders will finally start to ...

College would have been very interesting if the instructors had been as good at teaching as Mike Maloney. Sure, he is selling his products, and he is very good at it, but he also is handing out a lot of information presented with skill and enthusiasm. You can decide for yourself what you want to ...

His Gold/Dow chart is correct, covers the period 1980-2011, and the vertical scale is the percent that the gold price represents of the Dow. In 1980 they were equal, so the chart is at 100% on the left margin. Reached the low point around 2002 due to the low price of gold. Today it is still less ...

Lauren is even more impressive doing a totally casual discussion than working with notes.

What is particularly fascinating about this is that the numbers are approximately the real US numbers for tax revenue, deficit, and total accumulated federal debt, probably taken from about the time this was filmed. They just removed eight zeros digits from the right side of each number.

Very little value added in tourist, it is just covering expenses. No raw material turned into finished goods with the profit (dirty word) it provides to help grow the industry and the system. Most of the service economy is just a selling activity at a retail markup. "We Can't Wait"? Hundreds of t...

Profound budgetary and economic challenges....

No kidding.

Whatever you presently chose to call the economic event we are going through, by the time it is over they will probably need to find a new name for the "Great Depression".

His statement should tell everyone that the social security "trust" fund is a complete joke, an empty account full of IOU's. If they cannot get authorization to borrow the money, they may not be able to send out the checks. The man said it. You heard it.

The phone here rings from morning into the evening with calls from groups asking for contributions. Everywhere you drive now there are people on the highway islands begging for money. This is the "change" everybody voted for, spreading the poverty around. I "hope" we can survive it.

The widening gap between the rich and the poor is a result of government policy that this woman has helped to dictate. Expand "shared" prosperity? Taking money away from some of the people to hand it to the supporters who vote for you?

People are not taught about savings? What the heck is wrong with our multi-billion dollar education programs? What ARE they teaching?

Does it take away the risk that the insurance company underwriting the annuity will fail as a result of a general collapse of the economy initiated by massive government deficit spending?

This looks like a paid commercial for Guaranteed Retirement Account (GRA) Plans that are being discussed in Congress, they would require everyone to contribute to a Social Security administered retirement fund that invests in Treasuries. Another tax hidden as a benefit.

And "Rachael at cardholder services" will still be calling you 20 times a day making you run to the phone for a recorded scam message, regardless of whether you are on all the do not call lists, and nobody in law enforcement will be able to identify the scammer or stop them from calling you.

3:42 "You are paying taxes so I could live for free". Is this guy from New Bedford, Massachusetts?

Yes this segment got to be too much about Lauren. Notice all the shots that start out lower than the desk, featuring her legs.

The entire video is great, but the advice starting at 10:46 is absolutely fabulous.

I wish they would put a natural color spotlight on Susanna Rigacci, that purple tone makes her look really strange.

I just got back from shopping and it is Christmas time in China, virtually everything in the store has a "Made in China" sticker, the things that don't have one mostly came from Vietman. The United States is an empty shell, there is very little left of our manufacturing sector, it is an airplane ...

Great running commentary by Lauren at 5:25.

The Canadian dollar used to be about $1.40 US, now it is around $1.00. Looks to me like the dolalr has gone down big time. Comparing the value of the US dollar to currencies that are also in serious trouble is totally and completely in error. Meanwhile the price of food and fuel has gone totally ...

Go to the US debt clock and drop eight numbers off the right of each column, you can see how hopeless the US situation is. It is as if you earned $23,123 a year, but were spending $36,159 a year, and had accumulated debts of $151, 261. The country is bankrupt.

Absolutely pathetic thinking by a sick administration. They think that taxing people who work and handing it to others who are out of work so they can buy stuff made in China creates "growth". Meanwhile the infrastructure of the US is deteriorating and falling apart and we cannot afford to make t...

This is amusing. Obama finally did level with us, this week, three years into his term. He said in an interview that when he got elected he did not appreciate how serious the problems were. This from a President who campaigned on the promise of a having a "plan" to deal with the problems. Yeah, g...

An absolutely fabulous video.

(3:06) "The academic studies that have looked at this tell us that quantitative easing does what we thought it was going to do". Yes, it has stolen prosperity from the US taxpayers.

This commercial is absolutely GREAT!

(11:19) : "A businessman does not owe anybody a job" - Exactly right. If you can make the business successful, you may be able eventually to hire others, but first it has to be profitable in order to survive and stay in business. It is is not profitable and fails, it produces no benefit for anybody.

Not only were the troops not home in the sixteen months that Obama promised, they are still there.

So how is that "smart diplomacy" working for you Hillary?

There is a page on the IRS website that explains how Michael can send his money in to them as a gift to the United States. The entertainment industry are among the richest of the one percent.

The richest of the one percent are the entertainment crowd and the politicians.

During the recent debate over raising the debt ceiling, we were given a graphic example of just how absurd the current system is, when President Obama announced that they might not be able to send out Social Security checks if the debt ceiling was not raised. Social Security is a program that was...

Your tax money at work, "entitlements" being spent. The substitute for prosperity in the new America.

The sad thing about all of this is that the arrogant "academic" economists who teach at universities and work for government agencies will never admit Peter Schiff has been right on virtually all of these predictions. Even if the economy crashes totally and the dollar is worthless they will conti...

The crisis in Europe has propped up the dollar for the time being. When and if the problems with the Euro are resolved, the next crisis will be the US dollar.

Compare Greenspan's idea with what happened to US industry. In the city where I live we have many beautiful open lots where factories used to exist that employed thousands of people. Now there are no jobs, but lots of beautiful open space for all the unemployed and homeless to enjoy. It is so nic...

I don't understand the need to attack the views of any economists regardless of their arguments, they all have their own opinions and they all are offering their own "educated guess" of what might happen and when. Draw your own conclusions but pay attention to who has had the best track record. Y...
