Dec 20, 2011 - schiff talks like he's drunk with spittle running down his chin and mispronouncing words all the time.he makes some weird noises behind the mic especially with his gastric influx.

Dec 24, 2011 - Paul Krugman is a brilliant economist - and it looks like he was wrong on the size of the recession, but no it wasn't another Argentina. At the same time, who else was predicting a recession in 2006. As far as Krugman asking for a housing bubble, based on the clip, that seems not to be true. He did say that there was increased economic activity because of the housing boom in 2003, but that isn't advocating for it.

Dec 25, 2011 - Krugman is the smartest

LloydMadoff Says:

Dec 26, 2011 - If US of A is to become a utopian state according to Pete Schiff, it would become like China.

Dec 30, 2011 - Why does this Peter Schiff asswipe have any credibility?

AdversusHaereses Says:

Jan 5, 2012 - Two things Schiff is ignoring:1) The Nasdaq bubble was not the same as the US GDP, nor was it very influential to real economic growth.2) The Nasdaq bubble only burst thanks to the financial deregulation of the Clinton administration by repealing the Glass-Steagal act and passing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act.Ironically Peter Schiff supports deregulation so he would have supported the bill that eventually led to this Nasdaq bubble. But in no way was it the end of the US economy!

Jan 13, 2012 - does anybody here think the US economy is in good shape? i'm curious to hear some opinions and whatnot

Jan 23, 2012 - He misses the biggest problem of all. After the GLB Act the bankers on Wall Street earned billions of dollars in commission selling worthless private label mortgage-backed securities and they never broke a single regulation doing so. That's why they get to keep the cash. Paulsen's buddies. The GSE lending standards were higher than the private market, enabling private bankers to tap into the subprime market. Shiff is either lying or embarrassingly misinformed.

Feb 11, 2012 - besides being extremely stupid, this schiff guy is full of shit. the financial bubbles are due to financial deregulation which allowed excessive and irresponsible speculation. you can thank reagan for starting that in the 80's, and financial lobbyists for pursuing it...

Antiks72 Says:

Feb 12, 2012 - I love how Schiff ignores Alan Greenspan.

slurpeeday Says:

Feb 22, 2012 - It's weird that Schiff's gotten to where he is without being passing a macro class. I don't get how he can talk this much nonsense without reading what others say on the subject. I suspect it's a cult of personality just like Ron Paul.

Feb 29, 2012 - lloyd from dumb and dumber vs. einstein haha go krugman!

VassiliZaitsev12 Says:

Feb 29, 2012 - Interesting! I was not aware that Paul Krugman was aware of the housing bubble before it happened, and I did not know that he wanted to do something about it. Now, I can point back to prior to the 2008 bubble and tell the popular media kids that talk about Austrian economics and how it is the only form of economics that saw the bubble coming.

rangers1919 Says:

Mar 6, 2012 - Peter Schiff, and anybody that takes anything he says seriously are fucking idiots. He doesn't understand the difference between stimulus and tax cuts--maybe he should look at a basic econ text book which explains about the velocity of money and explains why tax cuts are a bad stimulus. Schiff claims to have been consistently right, but he & fellow Austrians have been predicting hyperinflation for over 30 years and it isn't, and won't happen.

tene2bush Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - I once called Shiff a cock-sucker, but I was wrong- because a cock sucker is actually useful...

Mar 11, 2012 - WHAT IS FUNNY IS THAT SOME PEOPLE STILL LISTEN AND FOLLOW THIS SCHIFF IDIOT. TO ME THATS THE REAL PROBLEM:  IDIOTS FOLLOWING OTHER IDIOTS LIKE THIS ONE

Apr 13, 2012 - Schiff is a typical right wing brainless ill-informed under educated greedy know all republican. none should waste time with people like him. Unfortunately America is the place for people like him greedy selfish fanatics.

Beannaich Says:

Apr 27, 2012 - "What if he didn't cut taxes and the economy was even worse?"How much worse could it have possibly gotten, Schiff? I think GLOBAL meltdown was pretty significant, you pompous ass.

FancyNancyWhy Says:

May 2, 2012 - Peter Schiff should try and debate Paul Krugman personally. Instead he runs away from real economists. Schiff's view on the economy is regional, at best. It was relevant when the US was an isolated economic leader in a limited global economy. Things change. His ideas don't make sense past the state level. But he doesn't know that.

EzekielTheWatchman Says:

May 24, 2012 - BUSH SHOULD HAVE PASSED GOVERNMENT LOAN REGULATIONS ON THE BANKS YOU IDIOT! Sometimes I wish I had this man in front of me so I could beat him senseless... Bush knew exactly what would happen (Japan had their housing bubble back in 1980s, lost decade) that's how they "predicted" this collapse, because they engineered it! The banks weren't asking how people were going to pay back the loans because there weren't regulations for it!
