@jnkhd I agree that the "yo-yo" effect get's us nowhere.
But, that's not the fault of the system. That's the fault of the fickle,
ADD public that always over corrects and sways with the media misinformation waves. The problem is that 100% of the public has NEVER experienced a fully functioning free market system, so there is no knowledge of it. I think from now forward, it's going to take a self directed, generational learning process in addition to developing the will to cut government.

@Luvanicebum I never said the Austrian school endorses debt. That's exactly my point. What I said, is that the two schools work in tandem. What good is it for the bankers to burden us with endless debt, which we never actually pay back? Keynesian is used to accumulate debt (debt is largely irrelevent...yawn); Austrian is then used to come in afterwards and focus on paying back (the now unpayable) debt which has accumulated (because debt is horrible!) It's like economic good cop/bad cop.

The Austrian school does not and never has endorsed "debt".
Their philosophy is, you shouldn't be buying anything on credit in the first place. Savings is the backbone of capital investment. Savings reduces the overall costs of things.
If we had heeded the words of Misus and Hayak before the Federal Reserve system was cooked up, we wouldn't be having this debate.
But, like every generation has it's Schiffs, it also has it's Madoffs.
The choice is ultimately ours who we follow.

Anything is possible when you're talking about clawing away
power from fat, lazy trust fund babies.
I don't think there's a limit to the tyranny a government can inflict.
Hopefully we get the changes in this country we need before the war hawks feel they need to invade another country.

The USA which is one of the biggest economic and military empires the world has ever seen is quickly coming to an end. Americans have been enjoying the priviledge as the one world reserve currency which helps give them a high standard of living.
My fear as a non-American is what will the US do militarily to protect its economic empire? Its already invaded Iraq to protect the Petrodollar.

Oh they know he's telling the truth.They just can't come and say hey your right cause they work for the elitist.
They "didn't necessarily believe" Schiff in the years prior to the global economic meltdown (you know, the one Schiff correctly predicted), either.
These folks are simply stock market cheerleaders. They throw a self-congratulatory circle-jerk party each time the market rises and look around in disbelief when it drops because "no one could have seen it coming." They are corporate shills and definitely are NOT a good source of financial/economic advice or insight.

I laugh my ass off every time Mr. Schiff is on this show. It's as though the entire panel has duct tape under the desk, deserately trying to figure out how to muzzle him. I really think that's why he does it remote. The truth sucks and sponsors for this program do not want people thinking they are in the midst of a very real economic black hole.
