S & P AA+ rating on U.S. Sovereign Debt not Low Enough ( P.Schiff )
http://www.youtube.com/ ^ | August 05 2011 | Peter Schiff

Posted on 08/06/2011 11:16:02 AM PDT by Para-Ord.45

Peter Schiff lays the smack down :

- New Zealand is better than USA with AA+. NZ dollar at record high. Net public debt at only 10% of GDP. Far more solvent than USA

- Fiscal situation will continue to deteriorate.

- Another round of money printing coming.

- Monday next week? Market rally behind the Euro, flight from USD.

- Japan spent 50 Billion propping up USD.

- Treasury market will come down, increase cost of financing deficit.

- Downward spiral ensues. S&P, Fitch and Moody`s forced to downgrade again.

- Fed and WH ramps up printing more money, faster. Death spiral continues.

- Any GOP who voted to increase spending should be voted out of office.

- S&P must now review corporate debt and downgrade it.

- Get out of all debt denominated in USD and get out of USD.

Couldn’t agree more, Thanks are due to the Boehner Republicans in the house; we knew there were not 41 conservatives in the Senate. They will be remembered in 2012.

Silver & Gold. Convert as much as your assets to precious metals as humanly possible.

Did Congressman West from Florida vote yes on the debt limit increase?

Swiss Francs.

Or New Zealand Dollars. Solid, stable currencies.

Peter Schiff is absolutely correct. We have been defaulting on our debts, as standard Federal practice, ever since FDR and the corrupt New Deal began the systematic corruption of millions of Americans by spending inflated currency to fund projects for which there was no Constitutional authorization.

When you pay your creditors back with coin that is not worth what they loaned you, you default in real terms, however the Leftist & Keynesian spin doctors seek to spin it. Value in, should equal value out. But it simply has not for almost three generations.

To understand the Economics Of A Sociopath. For more on the The Function of Money.

Of course the rating agencies are afraid to really evaluate the credit-worthiness of the Obama administration. It has us far along on the path that the Wiemar Republic followed, and Peter Schiff is one of a few brave economists who is willing to call reality, "reality"; and Keynesian idiocy, "idiocy."

I’m thinking Monday will be a good buying opportunity. The stock market will go up before it tanks. Silver and gold will go down for a few hours then shoot through the roof.

On what do I base these predictions? My wife told me. What does she know about it? Absolutely nothing.

As I said earlier, the flight from bonds may make the DJIA shoot up at least temporaily.

The U.S. is too big to save. While smaller countries might be too big to fail, and other countries come to their rescue and place a safety net under them, there is no safety net big enough for the U.S.. There is not enough money on the planet to bail out the U.S.. If we go down, we will pull other countries with us, but there will be nothing and nobody to stop the fall.

As I've posted before, If I had the choice, I would vote for a Democrat over the Crybaby. We can afford one less Republican in the House. We cannot afford Boehner as the "leader" of the House.

Let me run this by all of you. I am former Morgan Stanley and I know all about the S&P Rating. And don't think there are not influences and crap going on in the background relative to our credit. Nobody is going to care about that and the credit will come back, IF WE MAKE A CHANGE.

There is a solution to all of this. Cutting spending is nice, but guess what, its never happened in the history of our government.

This can all be corrected and we can pay off the debt, and do away with taxes as we know it.

Here are the taxes that will be gone: Income Tax Gone Captital Gains Gone Death Tax Gone Gas Tax Gone State Sales Tax Gone State Income Tax Gone Real Estate Taxes Gone

Its called a Transaction tax, it is not add on, some countries tried it as an extra tax. That is a mistake and a typical socialist country will add it on.

It is not a VAT or Retail Sales Tax.

It is a tiny fee attached to transactions, every transaction.

Example: You earn $100,000 per year, and you transact say $300,000 in transactions a year (money churn, stocks etc), you would pay only a little less than $3000 for your total tax per year based on movement of $300,000 in money transactions. That's a fee automatically paid when you transact money. The genious of this is everybody pays a little, and nobody gets away without paying. Now, 50% of the populations pays NOTHING.

The Forex market would more than pay for the federal budget.

Stocks and Bonds would pay for the State and local

Individual transactions would probably make Social Security solvent.

This is better than a 23% National Retail Sales Tax (which is my distant 2nd choice), because the impact to individual tax payers is very small on this transaction fee. The whole thing would bring our economy back to life. Our economy essentially becomes TAX FREE!

We suck back money form overseas, investment in business, more hiring, everything you can imagine will turn us around.

No compliance, no IRS, no audits, and business has a free hand again. Go to APTTAX.com and read. The guy that did this web site, gives the facts, but its not a graphic illustration like it should be.

Comments?

Libertarian rhetoric is all rhetoric and has nothing effective in mind, nor anything factual to back it up.

Next!
