I really wish I had a well.
Yup!...Check out his previous writings and videos on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYkFYdLTTw8&feature=related
We aren’t in a full fledged Depression yet. History shows us that first we need a leftist President to enact a few Socialist ideas that are supposed to help to bring the big on the “D”. Fortunately Imam Obama has already started doing that so it’s only a matter of time. So we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

Thanks!
I’ve been depressed since 2006.
The way things were going, I thought I'd get it earlier rather than later...and hopefully get a few checks before it ran out of money.
What a Pollyanna!
Most of us will mutter about the lucky buggers who were able to go scavenge cans!

Given the optimistic tone of this thread, I would have to point out that we’ll be lucky to have just a regular old garden variety depression.
He made a lot of predictions to a convention of mortgage bankers in 2006:
I totally agree with Schiff that our prosperity has increasingly been a phony prosperity.
In a healthy economy, prosperity is based upon a country creating wealth via the production goods and services.
But America for the last few decades, has instead been eating its own seed corn and spending borrowed money.
It’s obvious that you cannot eat your own seed corn forever and that there will come a time when you can borrow no more money until you pay back the money you already borrowed.
But the only thing I disagree with Schiff about, is exactly how long the people in power can keep our phony economy sputtering along.
It could be far longer than Schiff has been saying.
Or even sooner.

A Democrat government.
That’s a good idea. I may be moving soon (I was laid off a couple of weeks ago, and am looking for work). I’ll keep in mind that having a well could be a great thing to have. Thanks for mentioning that, mylife.
Yes.
It could be far longer than Schiff has been saying. Or even sooner.
I lean toward a time frame of months, rather than years before it tanks for real. We've consumed an awful lot of seed corn since 2008.
Sir, you are correct.
There's not a dozen elected GOP officials who will do what is needed and no Democrats.
We REQUIRE a 50-60% cut in expenditures and a 25% across-the-board tax cut to pull out of this.
We need to repeal Obamacare and return the remaining TARP money to our children.
Not even the best of our GOP politicians have the stomach for this...because the American People don't have the stomach for it.
Dude, we're doomed. Get what you can for your dollars today because either the US Government is going into default or the Fed is going to drive hyperinflation...or both.
The only question now on the table is whether we bypass the hyperinflationary phase and go straight to default.
For the folks who are paying attention, that means the FDIC and US Treasuries won't amount to a hill of beans.
“and all of us are going to lose our freedoms and our rights”
Why is that? If the gov’t gets smaller and smaller and eventually defaults on its obligations, doesn’t that mean that there won’t be as many bureaucrats to get in our knickers?
