In the first video below, Peter Schiff discusses what we witnessed the past two weeks in the financial markets after the worst performance in about four years. Officially, we are in what is considered a “market correction,” as the Dow Jones lost over 1000 points and is off about 10% from its all time highs. Don’t tell Obama that thought. He’ll tell you Unemployment is at record lows and we are in a robust recovery without even mentioning that 94 MILLION Americans are out of work and on government welfare of some type.
More than one third of the S&P stocks are already down over 20% from their highs, 20% marking an official “Bear Market.” The stock market slide two weeks ago gave us a crash wiping out all of 2015’s gains, which was actually larger than any one day stock market crash in U.S. history.

After the worst performance in four years, Peter Schiff was quick to give his thoughts on the last two weeks and what that means. First, Peter Schiff Commented On the 2 Day Stock Market Crash That Was Larger Than Any 1 Day Stock Market Crash In U.S. History. That was then followed by the best three day rally in history, followed THEN by the largest single day drop in history this past Monday dropping over 1000 points, but eventually recovering most of it before the day’s close. Since then the market has continued to slide.
THEN YOU HAVE THE FATHER OF LIES AND HIS TAKE ON THINGS.
The video below really is a testament to the level of ignorance, and sheer stupidity that the American electorate has become. Despite Obama’s incessant lies, almost half the country is willing to overlook the lies and they still support him. Just as many are willing to overlook the lies and pull the lever for Killary in 2016, who’s being investigated herself for potential criminal charges by the F.B.I. that involve lying.
AS IT RELATES TO THE ECONOMY… OBAMA FAMOUSLY SAID:
“The only measure of my success as the President of the United States, whether it’s five years from now or nine years from now, is did I get this economy fixed? – Barack Obama
WHAT A JOKE!
At some point Americans are going to have to face all the Horrifying Realities They Have Refused To Face Until Now. When they do, it is NOT going to be a fun experience. Sooner or later it’s time to come to grips with the fact that The US is Transitioning to Third World Country Status.There is no escaping it! To help you discern the true economic data from the data that exists only where Obama keeps his pet unicorn, the following list will greatly help you in your efforts.
The new year is off to an interesting start. With inflation dove Janet Yellen helming the Fed, another recession possibly imminent and Wall Street still making a killing, it’s as good a time as any to review some of the best sources of independent financial and economic thought out there.
