	BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Peter Schiff Was Right Sunday, May 24, 2009 Peter Schiff Was Right I'm still spending too many hours on "catching up" surfing after spending a week engaging in some real life (body) surfing on Kauai, and I saw a link to this one from a James Wolcott post from last week. I'll go so far as to call it extraordinary. It's a compilation of roundtable discussions on various financial shows, mostly on CNBC and FOX News from 2006-2007, in which Peter "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" Schiff goes toe to toe with the various market cheerleaders those shows employ to talk up whatever element of the US economy their plutocrat overlords have deemed insufficiently-enriching. I know nothing about this Schiff guy, but he prognosticates on numerous issues: the coming recession, the imminent busting of the housing bubble, the coming stock market crash, the coming credit crunch, etc, and at least in the clips shown in this segment he is 100% prescient about everything. And in every case the show hosts and other guests literally LOL at his pronouncements. They're all but spilling beer as they congratulate themselves on their "everything is wonderful" forecasts, which is of course what their paychecks require of them, but it's still kind of shocking to witness the idiocy and disinterest they show in even considering the actual economic underpinings of the issues of the day. There are lots more such examples in the related clips; watch them if your stomach is strong enough. I only made it through 2/3 of this one before I had to give it up. I was losing all the late lunch, nachos + rum/coke buzz that's helping me recover from a long morning of D3 site work.

Hell, even a contingent in the Senate warned about it back in 2007 (probably before). The problem is, none of the right people cared. I still want to slap Barnie Frank for basically giving the finger to the whistle blowers in Congress. I think the flaws in Democracy are embodied by people like that skid mark who are still elected officials. #: 4:34 PM posted by Anonymous Post a Comment << Home Archives May 2005 June 2005 July 2005 August 2005 September 2005 October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2012
