@tom6612 It is a tax on any sale over 600 dollars in a calender year to a business. Metals are just included……along with antiques and anything else you think of. A 1099 will be required.

Schiff is a crackpot.
He’s running campaign commercials in Connecticut that sound like they were written by Limbaugh. He believes the market fundamentalist BS that got us in this mess is gonna get us out. He’s a total nut job.

I read it on ABC that business would have to report outlays of over 600$ including gold coins and such.
Is ABC a crazy right-wing blog?

All these talking heads are nothing but PR reps for their clients (the investment banks). Petter was the only one exposing their lies.
How can we expect anything more? It’s like going to a car lot and expecting the car-salesmen to say something bad about their cars. They’ve been corrupted and will LIE!

The Fed and most of Washington disagreed with Schiff then. Listen to Schiff current stuff (he does something new almost every day) and the same people in Washington are still calling him a loon. Most of America agree with Washington. mainstream America is zombie town. They think America is the only exception to the falling of every other great neation in the history of the planet and turn to Socialism thinking that would generate debt slower than where we are not.

@dukee155
The cost of imported food would still probably be higher then food we produce. Most of the fat people are poor to middle class. They want food that is cheap, tasty, and can be made in about 15 minutes so they won’t have cooking interfering with their work schedule.
I don’t know, I am generalising a lot and I might be wrong.
dukee155
August 25th, 2010 at 6:32 am
@fieldman07 Instead we should be exporting it and importing food from other countries.
fieldman07
August 25th, 2010 at 7:18 am
@dukee155 Well, i think that its because of agriculture we produce.
What do we grow? Wheat and cows, pigs, and other types of meat.
We grow fatty food and sell it domestically at 3 dollars a meal while fast food is 10 dollars a meal in other countries. Maybe im wrong but i think its just that since we grow fatty foods domestically then that is the food we can get ahold of easier.

i’m 23 yrs old.. I just started to study Austrian Economics. The amount of knowledge i’ve learned in the past 2 months, its ridiculous. It makes me sad that so many individuals choose not to try understand the world around them and accept things they KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT. We must keep fighting to get this general knowledge out there.

@MrTurdFurgeson But 9 out of the 10 years of the great depression we had a trade surplus! So the 30′s should have been a boom.
I think protectionism is a slippery slope and all to easy to pass off as “free trade”.

@VictoryCough
If thats the case Williams made, then that is absolutely hilarious.
Yes, you may have a deficit with the grocier, but you make it up by earning an income in another field. For example, I may make it up to him by selling him a video game, or to someone else that runs a surplus with the grocier.
The problem is that if you run a negative balance overall, you are essentially losing money. Its no difference if you make $2,000 and spend $2,500 – eventually, you have to fix it.
VictoryCough
August 25th, 2010 at 9:57 am
@MrTurdFurgeson Williams made the point that consumers have trade deficits with their grocers…we buy more from them than they buy from us. But no one notices it. I am not saying we don’t need more production, but really how are trade deficits important?
It seems to me the booms are more closely related to easy credit than trade deficits or surpluses.

@VictoryCough
Because Walter Williams is wrong. Look at American trade balances for the past ~ 100 years. Every time we had a trade surplus, we had an economic boom. When we had a deficit, or trade balances reduced quickly, you see a lot of economic problems.
Look at the 1930′s with Smoot-Hawley, the 1940s with Bretton Woods, and the 1980′s when we went back to a deficit. Each time, we found ourselves in a boom or bust. Trade deficits are VERY important.
VictoryCough
August 25th, 2010 at 10:36 am
I am wondering if anyone could explain why Peter thinks trade deficits are bad while someone like Walter E Williams thinks trade deficits are unavoidable and irrelevant?

@DCP1292 he guess lucky when in detail he explained why the economy was going to collapse? He actually explains why it collapsed, he didn’t use charts, or graphs based on lines going down, or up to explain why it would collapse. Economics revolves around human behavior, not just generalized theories based on numbers that don’t even quantify the state of economy. That is why “most people” got it wrong, when people like Peter Schiff were laughed and called Dr. Doom. You defend Keynes very poorly.

@joraejean you clearly don’t understand what he is saying. Some regulations promote risky lending practices clearly such as the FDIC which guarantees deposits, that is why the Glass-Steagall law was passed because the deposits are insured via taxpayers, and treasuries. The same thing goes for government insured loans. That’s where “too big to fail” comes from. The Federal Reserve supplies money to the bankers, and act as an insurance policy against risk again spread across the taxpayer.

Capitalism is the Free rule and expression of Capital,rampaging 24/7 across the world for profit, and enslavement and servitude of those who have nothing except their abillities/skills to sell themselves for wages/salaries. Its a profit driven system corrupting,dehumanising,devaluing and distorting everything and everyone in the midst of its insatiable,destructive, abstract process of CAPITAL Accumulation and Concentration in control of a few.

In an argument about the economy recently, a supply sider actually completely dismissed the Austrian school with this one sentence-”They cannot be right because their beliefs are in such a strong minority”…really…this is what passes for reasoning among the great unwashed mass of people in the USA. The public schools have prodeuced a whole generation of brain dead zombies.
