A lot of Bankruptcies in the Financial sector coming

Peter Schiff : It looks like a lot of bankruptcies in the financial sector; more downside in real estate; big cuts in government expenditures; much higher interest rates; much higher rates of personal savings; a big decline in consumption and expenditures. The government will have to spend a lot less and so will individual households. We need a lot more savings; we need a lot more legitimate investment; more production; more exports. None of that is happening right now. We’re doing all the wrong things; we’re making all the underlying conditions worse. And the Fed stimulus is making it possible.
If the Fed acted responsibly, our leaders would have to be responsible too. But the Fed gives them an escape valve—a way to run up bigger deficits and make the problems worse instead of actually dealing with the problems and helping to solve them. - in indexuniverse
