Schiff dominated this fool.

I think the dude on the left has downs...

The Henwood dude has some good ideas but they are in the wrong system. I like Schiff.

These Keynesians and academic types always come off as if they have some sort if mental illness.. I guess you have to have a warped intellectually bankrupt thought process to believe in that gibberish anyhow.

"Oh the government has the money." Well in that case why don't we start paying off our national debt.... Wait a second.

This video was a joke. They call this Real News? This is not the first time Peter has been marginalized and I am sure it will not be the last. If anybody is confused about economics, there is still help. Why has Mr. Schiff accurately predicted the dot com and real estate bubble? He understands the FREE MARKET and SOUND MONEY! An economy which government does not pick the winner or loser, but individuals that purchase the products decide the fate of companies.

Per capita production has not gone up, it has shrunk. Also, production does not mean a thing when it goes towards consumer goods that are bought with borrowed money.

@Willredd94 You know what's funny is that it's the military that funded computer research. The very same computer research Henwood credits the government for developing. Of course, he purposefully left out that piece of information.

i just realised peter is the only credible economist. most of these other bozo economists just analyse data behind a desk, don't even have their own businesses.

Henwood talks too damn fast, it makes him sound like he's got a mental problem.

is that dude the moderator or the retard on the lefts sidekick?

eliminate the minimum wage NOW. it only makes it unprofitable for businesses to hire someone that produces an amount lower than the minimum wage amount. give people the option to work for less and build up the skills, discipline, experience & many other things that you gain from a job so they become more productive and can then earn higher wages. 96% of the workforce is NOT on minimum wage, if the business tries to take advantage of their workers the worker can go somewhere else.
