So that everyone knows, Peter Schiff was the main outspoken person prior to the mortgage crisis who predicted that there would be a market crash. He has consistently said since that like the housing market bubble, there is another bubble building in the treasury bond market. Though this has yet to pop, it is coming - he says. The author of this article says that the crash not happening is evidence that Peter Schiff is wrong. However, Schiff has not said specifically when these things will happen, just general trends. Yes, I watch Peter Schiff's videos - but only because his predictions about the economy come true. No economic adviser should be worth listening to if their predictions don't come true. This is one of the fewwwwwwwwwwwww people that has been a leader in getting it right the last couple of years. So I don't easily buy an article that goes to say Peter Schiff is wrong, along with Ron Paul | ||

Inflation has not been, nor would it become an issue here. I'm not certain I agree with Keynesian economics, but in general it seems more reasonable than Austrian economics, which is pretty damn opposed to expansion policies that we needed and continue to need. | ||

He's bound to be right eventually. If I keep liquibetting on the underdog in major tournaments, I'm sure I'll get a few right. Doesn't mean I know the next up-and-comer (or anything about SC2 for that matter). | ||

Lol, he called the mortage crisis a year before it happened. You call that 'non-sense'? He has explained in detail why our debt situation is unsustainable. All the Keynesians have been saying the past 4 years is that the government needs to spend more money. Well, we tried that. And it didn't create a single up-tick in employment and business investment. Yet they continue to push for stimulus. This is insanity, Krugman needs to stop. | ||

Perhaps people should have a proper understanding of Middle Eastern history and especially Iranian in regard to Western actions in the region, both overt and covert. Before the US it was the British that held Imperial sway over Iran and Iran to this day still resents Britain more than America (you know the whole taking Iranian land and natural resources bit...). I wonder why Iranians have animosity towards the West... I'm well aware of the CIA's operations in Iran in the early 50's. No where did I say Iran didn't have a reason to distrust America/the West. Giving it a "good reason," doesn't change the action itself. | ||

WASHINGTON -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney told voters on the campaign trail in Iowa today that before he entered the world of politics, he never quite understood the difference between Medicare and Medicaid -- the two government-funded health care programs that serve the elderly and the poor, respectively. "I have to admit, I didn't know all the differences between these things before I got into government," said Romney. "And then I got into it and understood that Medicaid is the health care program for the poor, by and large." It was a throwaway line, coming in the thirty-eighth minute of a roughly 45-minute town hall affair. And Romney didn't really have to say it. He was in the midst of talking up the similarities between his plan for Medicare reform and the plan introduced yesterday by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and had soon meandered on to other topics. But within minutes the admission had turned into a headache. Romney, as Talking Points Memo noted, had taken over health care companies while at the head of private equity firm Bain Capital. As Reason magazine noted, he also talked up his time as "a young consultant to a health-care company in the late 1970s" in his own book, No Apology. As a senate candidate in 1994, he spoke in detail about Medicaid policy, specifically with respect to whether federal funds could be used from it to fund abortion. Source | ||
