I dunno who this guy is but Obama should get him on the blower, pronto

Peter Schiff Was Right

Watch how he predicts every upcoming FAIL of the economy while FOX brain-dead morons like Neal Cavuto, Ben Stein, Arthur Laffer and a host of others snear, guffaw, laugh, smirk etc. at his 100% correct predictions. Also notice the financial stocks they recommend, like Washington Mutual. What i want to know is why does Cavuto still has a show, and why (i am sure) most of these proven moronic "experts" are still appearing on it (like the insufferable Ben Stein--the Bill Kristol of the financial sector). This Peter Schiff guy should have a show. By the way, gold is at $817 per ounce. That's about where it was at the beginning of the year, but the price is trending upwards in the last couple of weeks.

In an August 2006 interview Schiff generated much controversy when he repeated his long-held investment thesis: "The United States economy is like the Titanic and I am here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship ...I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States."

On da udder hand:

Schiff is a firm believer in reducing government regulation of the economy. Schiff worries that Barack Obama will increase such regulation.

Schiff was an economic adviser to [crazy--ed.] Ron Paul's 2008 presidential campaign....

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) is pending legislation in the United States designed to prohibit the improper use of genetic information in health insurance and employment. Supported by the President of the United States, the legislation would prohibit group health plans and health insurers from denying coverage to a healthy individual or charging that person higher premiums based solely on a genetic predisposition to developing a disease in the future. The legislation also would bar employers from using individuals’ genetic information when making hiring, firing, job placement, or promotion decisions.
