There's A Direct Correlation Between The Size Of A Country's Government & Its Level Of Poverty

Naturally, people want to be rich and when they are free to profit by satisfying people's desires through ingenuity, creativity and hard work, they will do so. This not only causes them to be productive in meeting the desires of others, but causes others to be productive in meeting their desires.

 Despite its best intentions, the biggest obstacle to this freedom is government interference in the form of punitive taxation and over-regulation. In fact there's a direct correlation between the size of a country's government as a share of its GDP (gross domestic product) to its level of poverty. - in Eristical

The Key To Escaping Poverty Is Productivity

The reason that people are poor is because they lack access to productive employment. If a farmer happened to own a piece of land but never grew anything on it, he would starve. But if he were to work the farm and produce food he would be able to eat. And if extra food is produced it can be traded for other things. So the key to escaping poverty is productivity and the key to increasing productivity is capital. - in Eristical

In Many Countries Gasoline Is A Luxury

One of the reasons that Americans are able to use so much gasoline is because it’s relatively cheap. A lot of Americans commute long distance to work. In a lot of other countries gas is a luxury and they maybe just take the car out for a drive on a Sunday. - in Bloomberg

Gold Standard And A Membership In The Flat Earth Society

The fact that so many supposed conservatives liken a belief in a gold standard as the monetary equivalent of membership in the Flat Earth Society shows just how far the American public has come from a true understanding of how money works within an economy. - in Europac.net

Paper Money: Every Time It Has Been Used, It Has Led Ultimately To Economic Disaster

The general idea among most economists is that gold would be a step backward for our modern monetary system -- the equivalent of trading in an automobile for a horse and buggy. However, paper money is not new. It's been around for centuries, and has been tried many times, on many continents. But every time it has been used, it has led ultimately to economic disaster. - in Europac.net

Republicans Considering The Return To The Gold Standard

As Republicans convene in Tampa to nominate Mitt Romney and hammer out their party platform, one of the planks that could attract the most attention is the Party's official position on the gold standard. As it is now being considered, the platform stops short of recommending a return to the gold standard, but does advocate a commission to consider the possibility.

However, judging by the reaction with which many Republicans have greeted the idea, one would think that the platform might as well have called for the return of slavery. - in Europac

QE3 Was Never Off The Table

In my mind, QE 3 was never off the table. I always knew it was a sure thing. It was just a matter of time. But now the Fed came out and surprised a lot of people with its language. It basically said, ‘if we don’t get evidence soon of a sustainable increase in the economy, we’re going to have to take action.’ 

And of course, the only tool in it’s arsenal is to print money and buy bonds and try to goose the economy with the same monetary stimulus that create the problem. - in ETF Daily News

Akin, Rape And Abortion: The Truth Behind The Controversy

From The Peter Schiff Show: Judging by the comments on this video many of you are missing my point. If someone is pro-life, and allows an exception for rape, they must define what type of rape qualifies. I am not saying that non-forcible rapes do not occur and are not wrong. It's just that there is no immediate physical evidence to substantiate them. In contrast there is amble physical evidence to suggest forcible rape. Therefore, if any rape qualifies, any woman claiming she was raped could have an abortion, even if she was not raped in any manner. So anyone claiming to be pro-life, that makes an exception for any type of rape, is in fact pro-choice. That is because any woman who chooses to have an abortion would also choose to lie about having been raped to qualify to receive one! After all, look at all the people who lied about their incomes to qualify for mortgages. Terminating an unwanted pregnancy provides an even greater incentive.

What About Money Causes Economic Crises?

Rep. Ron Paul sponsored this Congressional lecture on "What About Money Causes Economic Crises?", the concluding lecture in a three part series on the basic principles of money for Congressional staff.

As a continuing educational tool this lecture was filmed and is provided to the public. The lecture was delivered by Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital and author of Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse and How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes.

Mr. Schiff explains the fact that the interest rate is a price and that manipulation of that price results in real changes to the capital structure and structure of production within the economy, causing imbalances, booms, and eventually busts in the economy. His lecture also explores how government intervention through labor and employment policies results in diminished employment and an overall reduction in the standard of living.

The Debate Over Balancing The Federal Budget Has Been A Central Feature Of Every Presidential Campaign

For much of the past few generations, the debate over balancing the federal budget has been a central feature of every presidential campaign. But over time, the goalposts have moved. As the amount of red ink has grown steadily larger, the suggested time frames to restore balance have gotten increasingly longer, while the suggested cuts in government spending have gotten increasingly shallower.

In recent years, talk of balancing the budget gave way to vague promises such as “cutting the deficit in half in five years.”

In the current campaign, however, it appears as if the goalposts have been moved so far that they are no longer in the field of play. I would argue that they are completely out of the stadium. - in Market Playground

The Risk Is Not Properly Perceived

The same thing exists today with respect to sovereign debt with the U.S. economy. People assume that we have a buyable economy, we do not. America is an economy that is based on borrowing for consumption and borrowing to sustain a massive government that is spending a tremendous amount of money.

The reason that all the pieces haven’t collapsed already is because interest rates are very low and they are low because the risk is not properly perceived. - in a recent video interview

The Perfect Storm

The perfect storm is the real fiscal cliff that we’re going to go over. The real fiscal cliff is when we can’t borrow any more money because our creditors wake up to the fact that we’re no good for the debt and interest rates start to rise.

They (interest rates) rise sharply and then we have to choose between default and collapse, or runaway inflation. That’s really the perfect storm and unfortunately we are sailing right in to it. - in Business Insider

The Glory Days Are Over For The Bond Market

I think the glory days are over for the Bond market... maybe they are not over today... I have been saying this for a while just like I was warning earlier about the housing bubble.

I think more investors who have sought out bonds as an alternative to weak performance in stocks, I think that's where the next catastrophe is going to be as far as catastrophic losses. And not just in treasuries as I think any long term debt instrument denominated in dollars is going to go down but particularly sovereign credit.

People perceive it as being safe. The way I look at it there is only two alternatives for bond holders, either they lose due to default or they lose due to inflation. - in Fox Business News

Interest Rates Cannot Stay Low Forever

Those who believe that artificially low interest rates are needed now, fail to see the price that will be paid down the road. By keeping rates too low, the Fed continues to lead an overly indebted economy deeper into the financial abyss. However, its ability to maintain rates at such low levels is not without limits.

Just as real estate prices could not stay high forever, interest rates cannot stay low forever. When rates finally rise, the extent of the economic damage will finally be revealed. - in Schiff Radio

The U.S. Economy Is Stagnating At Best And Actively Deteriorating At Worst

The employment report released on Friday confirmed that the U.S. economy is stagnating at best and actively deteriorating at worst. While the numbers of jobs created in July was actually better than many economists expected, it was still far below the levels that would indicate a growing economy.

But more important than the official unemployment rate (which ticked up to 8.3 percent) or the number of jobs created, is the number of people who have left the workforce out of frustration or despair. This number continues to head higher.

The labor force participation rate, which is the percentage of healthy working age Americans who actually have jobs, is at one of the lowest points since women first started working en masse in the 1970's. - in Schiff Radio

The Counter Flow Into Gold Will Be Tremendous

I've seen markets like this before, and by making some reasonable inferences, I have a good picture of how this could play out. Gold will continue testing the $1,600 barrier until it surprises to the upside.

This could be spurred by the announcement of QE III, a calming of fears in Europe, or any shock to the Treasury market. Treasuries have temporarily overtaken gold as the primary safe-haven asset. Once that dynamic is broken, I believe the counter flow into gold will be tremendous. - in Seeking Alpha
