Fact:  In 2004, Democrats said there is no bubble and there won't be a problem like when the tech bubble burst.  What a colossal idiot!

Sorry, but anybody who puts too much stock in the prognostications of, at best an economic contrarian and at worst an economic charletan, such as Peter Schiff might need to pause for a bit of introspection before telling anybody else to ''take the blinders off''!

Schiff is noted for his economic predictions.  In Oct 2012 on CNBC he made several predictions and in Dec of last year CNBC reviewed those predictions

1/  Schiff said gold, then at $1700/oz, would go to $5000 within a couple of years. (NOTE:  one of his businesses is selling gold!).  Over 3 years later in Dec 2015 gold was at about $1200

2/  Schiff said quanitative easing would hurt, not help the US economy. Since then 10.4 million new jobs have come online and the unemployment rate has gone from 7.7% to 4.9% and the DOW is up a third

3/  Schiff said US debt will lead to a worldwide crisis of confidence in the US economy and the dollar.  Today the US economy is considered overall the strongest and safest in the world

4/  Schiff said the dollar will collapse with the Index level relative to other world currences falling from 80 to at least 40 but probably much lower.  In Dec 2015 the dollar index stood at 99

Now, you need to take off the blinders and find a few more reliable economic Gurus!

Who cares about Peter Schiff!!!  All Schiff did was put 2 and 2 together.  Your focus on Schiff is mind boggling...........you totally missed the footage showing the democrats ignoring the facts.  When you see a house burning at night, do you respond with "gee i can't see the stars tonight for the smoke" and totally ignore the house burning.........i bet you do.

You totally ignored the footage of the democrats saying there wasn't going to be a housing bubble and the democrats praising Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, while they were knee deep in bad subprime loans. Republicans were thwarted by Democrats and were not able to put needed regulations in place.

Many of your posts allude to it...........since 2009..............better off under Obama............not so good under Bush.........

No, you don't get it. You are the one who gave a Peter Schiff statement as evidence that all the bad that happened was completely the fault of Democrats in congress.  He is a rightwinger with an agenda.  Barney Frank was and is a questionable character, but he is no match for Phil Gramm when it comes to screwing up the economy!

I am confused.  You mentioned Phil Gramm screwing up the economy but in an earlier post stated on September 3rd "Politicians have very little to do with ythe ups and downs of the economy other than around the edges."  (I even left your misspelled word in so it would be EXACT.)

Your blaming of only republicans for things is myopic at best.  Take a broader look at things like Time did. They listed 25 people and included the American consumer.  I think their view is balanced and accurate.

Phil Gramm can't sign bills into law; President Clinton is to blame as well since he signed it.   The list of 25 includes prominent people on both sides of the aisle, but please oh please just focus on one and make that person a republican. That way you can blame all you woes and the woes of the country on someone other than a democrat while beating your chest to proclaim your superiority to anyone who might not agree with your positions. Take a few breaths before you start attacking me rather than recognizing your slant to all things democrat and bashing/attacking anyone who disagrees with you or your candidate or your party.

Let the name calling and other Myopictect tactics begin.................
