Further Peter Schiff comments on Gold, Silver and the US Dollar: "They all think there's no inflation," Schiff says. "They think gold must be going up for some other reason or that there’s no problem with the American economy.”

“It’s unfortunate our politicians and central bankers haven’t figured it out.”
