Why the Air Is About to Come Out of America's Bubble Economy - Peter Schiff

Peter Schiff discusses why the air is about to come out of America's Bubble Economy.
Get the Secrets of Gold Stocks here: bit.ly/SecretsofGoldStocks
Schiff talks about the US economy and its position within the world's economy.
With a $20 trillion dollar national debt, guaranteed student loans, social security, medicare, Obamacare, and many other debt obligations, and a very small American savings rate the US economy is on the precipice of the massive bubble bursting.
Mortgage debt is lower than it was in 2008 since more people are now renters instead of homeowners. But overall more Americans have more credit card debt, student loans, and automobile debt. None of these being assets like owning a home was.
The low unemployment rate is artificially low. The ways the government measures unemployment is designed to paint a rosy picture. More Americans that used to be employed are no longer looking for jobs and the government is now counting part-time employees as being employed. Even working just one hour per week, you are considered employed by the US government.
This is creating an illusion that the economy is strong. We see the results of this facade where all sorts of jobs have been created yet fewer Americans are spending in these sectors.
Store closings, bankruptcies, and fewer people eating at restaurants are showing us how the inflation of the unemployment rate is merely a misleading trick.
Americans who have 2-3 jobs are at a record high yet these people are making less money than when they had one real job. Most people are not productively employed. And thus they don't make enough money to save.
The American trade deficit is increasing as more Americans are buying foreign goods because they can't afford local goods. Thus the US accumulates debt against foreign countries.
The US Nominal GDP growth has been minimal at best in the last decade and because of that the recovery has been less than ever in the past.
Measured inflation rates around the world are at 5-6 year highs.
Once the economy turns down and the recession happens the US Bubble Economy is going to burst!
Quantitative easing will be the way the Fed interferes, yet QE didn't work last time, and actually caused the problems in 2008. By not allowing free marketing forces to correct a recession, instead artificially boosting the economy, the Fed created a situation where the US recovery was weak.

The American economy has collapsed from 2008 and has never recovered. It was simply propped up or stimulated with money. Money that didn't improve productive capacity, infrastructure or the real economy. It simply restored households confidence and bailed out the banks that helped to cause the crash. Furthermore, Automation and Chinese trade hegemony has been simultaneously shafting the American (Western Hemisphere) economy for years resulting in wide-scale loss of jobs, hence loss of household income.If theres no income, there'll be no financing of the trillions of dollars of credit card, mortgage debt and motor vehicle debt incurred by households and as such banks will slowly fold over. Who will bail out the institutions then? Folks, the immense degradation of the American economy and society in America is INEVITABLE in light of the above, its a matter of when, not if.The level of indebtedness of the government and households has simply reached its limit.

wonder how many store closings are due to AMAZON vs people not buying.?

[@phantomwolf9929]

While some influence is due to online shopping, the discrepancy is no where near close. There are plenty of studies and reports showing that a majority of Americans have less than $400 in their account (in other words, they do not have the money to cover an emergency expense.) If they do not even have that kind of extra money, they certainly are not out shopping; except to meet necessities.

[@robertsimon5869]

...has more or as much to do with consumers being tapped out,as amazon.

[@kodykendall]

Mitchell Schmidt 80 million Americans have amazon prime. Tell me more about how Amazon isn't that big of a factor in declining retail from brick and mortar stores.

[@phantomwolf9929]

Kody, 80 million accounts does not equate to people shopping. It only shows a gradual shift toward the online market. obviously that has an affect on brick and mortar. I never disputed that. My claim is that people don't have money to shop and that is the main reason for the closure of brick and mortar., not online shopping (though, as mentioned, that will grow and disrupt brink and mortar to a greater degree in the future)

Where all these trillions and trillions of dollars belong at? It makes absolutely no sense, the debt counter is huge, foreign debt is huge. We spent trillions in Iraq for nothing, almost all the oil reserves went to China, Russia and Germany. The USA could have sorted out all of its infrastructure problems with that money, instead, we did this shit and gained nothing in return. Now ISIS have a big chunk of those oil reserves in Iraq and it's supporting itself financially from it. How cool! We're talking about a event of unprecedented circumstances, catastrofic, combined disasters. This won't be just another crisis, it will be the end of the system as we know it.

There is no limit to how much Paper Derivative Gold can be Printed effectively making Gold Fiat: www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-08/someone-just-dumped-4-billion-gold-futures-ahead-comey-testimony The Real Story is the Paper Gold Derivative Story and how it will become Inflated to Suppress Gold. Still Waiting for you to address this Peter...

[@MrAkurvaeletbe]

yes, and this is what Peter is scared to talk about, he has never even mentioned it! He's a salesman, and a bullshitter.

[@RR-js9kl]

There is a limit to how high gold can go and it is determined by the Paper Derivative is true BUT what will happen when all the investors that hold this paper want the physical gold........during a bad crisis...??

[@Romerosays]

R R I don't get it. Why would investors be buying paper gold when the price keeps getting hammed down.

[@josephenglish4496]

Are we really that stupid we ignore history? What happened in the 1970's? What the difference between Money and currency? Did Germany want there Gold back? Are all the eastern exporters buying Gold to line there banks? What happens when this derivative market is exposed? Show white your in a fantasy land.

[@MrAkurvaeletbe]

the crisis will never come, they can just keep QE going... IF it does come, it will be when we are all dead.

How sad must your life be when you are convinced everything wrong in your life is a Jew's fault. I have seen your kind before.

[@Seaneey]

How pathetic is your life when you cant see two people who see the same issue, but in different ways of approaching it. Ben himself says to safeguard agianst the US with gold just as Peter does. Seems like you're not paying attention like all the other fools.

I'm a nurse practitioner that knows hardly anything about economics, finance or investing. Only a few months ago, I started educating myself on the federal reserve and American/global banking system. The more I research, the more evidence there seems to be that we are screwed. Now, I find myself scrambling to figure out how to protect myself and it's overwhelming. Fortunately, I have the education/skills to be able to possibly make a way for myself if there is a collapse of society. But, how can a normal American that has little clue about what is going on protect themselves? Reduce or eliminate all debt? Will that even help? is it too late?

[@HikerFeet]

And I totally see what he's saying about unemployment. I've been working as a travel NP for the past 3 years. I'd say close to half the patients I see in some areas of America are unemployed. Granted, I have been going to underserved areas, so I know that may count for something. I was so confused when we get reports that unemployment was so low when I was seeing so many unemployed patients. Obviously, they do not take into account the Native populations, because I have been on many reservations where it is unusual to see a patient that actually has a job. When the economy collapses, it will be the end for them because they rely so heavily on government subsidies. I hope I'm wrong though. I don't want to be right about that.

It’ll only take 12days to implement anti-terror laws & ban bitcoin.

If that occurs, I'll just move to Japan.

[@skeetorkiftwon]

Frank Lucas That's going to be fun without internet.

[@waynemartin5247]

Establish communication with India & ask them to associate the currency to Pakistan. Further link trade deals to Iran & Pakistan. Create multiple paths, link it to terrorist organizations (such as ISIS). Mass advertise it on media. Progress with Ransomware & link it to Syria government or Iran as the primary source. Then progress banning Bitcoin simultaneously with multiple nations. Introduce legislation… That’s only one way out of dozens of obvious likely scenarios, I would calculate many factors before developing strategies.

He says that he 'doesn't see this off in the distance'. He sees this coming soon. Hasn't he been saying the same thing for a decade or longer? Jesus is 'coming soon'. Soon can mean in a few thousands of years.

[@rerite2]

When was this?

[@jayb-clay2724]

There's inflation might not notice it in prices but you will notice it in the portion sizes I mean remember when the oatmeal creame pies were huge and now they are tiny.. Dilly bars at Dairy Queen used to be huge and now are tiny but key is is the price is the same. It's a form of Roman coin clipping if u think about it

[@libertysprings2244]

True a lot of new products break within a few months. We've bought 5 dvd players in the past 2 yrs, 2 rice cookers broke, kitchen light fixtures broke, cell phone batteries go bad fast, etc. So far our first flat screen tv is holding up though.

[@MrSean03839]

We always have endless people throughout history saying the end is near, politically, religious and economically. No one can really forecast such event's. When they take place we look to the most recent people and say they were right. But someone will always be right eventually. The lesson to learn is history will repeat in both directions, up or down.

I too believe Peter makes sense and is 'right.' The thing is no one, including Peter, can say when it will happen. And knowing when is important as much $ can be lost (or gains missed) waiting for the bubble pop to happen. Tricky business.
