If the crash is due in the next four years shouldn’t we want ta socialist in power so those policies can be put away for at least a generation?

Hi Big Al,
Thanks as always for a good interview and great show.
My point all along has been that no matter who gets elected, they are not going to be able to save us from the consequences of decades and decades of undisciplined spending and currency manipulation. Why is this even the focus with people like Schiff? It’s a forgone conclusion that we will and are imploding. This economy absolutely has to collapse under the weight of debt, guaranteed! We have to focus on what we can control and that is the fallout and rebuild effort. After the crash, there will come a time for a leader to bring cohesion out of chaos, hope out of despair, and a right and clear direction as opposed to this nonsensical plunge toward ruin. I’m NOT saying Romney is the perfect and best candidate for this job, but the question is and should be, “Who do we want to lead us out of the aftermath and destruction, Obama or Romney?” I believe this charge will fall on the shoulders of our next president. Of course, Romney was not my first choice, but he will be the nominee against Obama. Is there really a doubt as to which of these would be a better choice as leader?
Just my two cents,
I’m not judging anyone, just saying that I believe we have to look out a little further and focus on preparing for the greater calling of rebuilding this nation.

I didn’t know Ron Paul was out of the race?

Hi Big Al, good show, Peter Schiff and you are both Ron Paul supporters that`s all that matters. And as to castanheiro who will lead us out, is the question. Both Romney & Obama are not the leaders but the cheer leaders for the Banksters and the status quo of the planet of the apes(military machine apparatus), and we are to big to fail notion of big gov`t. The coming election will kept what we all want, but nothing we need. Who are the slaves now, why its everybody that voted for what we wanted, but not needed. Being for Ron Paul idea takes discipline of forthought for what we need, not merely just our wants. Just saw what the Freemasons of the founding fathers were of yesterday when our country was formed what has that lead to for us today—-A One World Government embracing an A-Bomb and loving it.

Hi Al, just a few comments on your thoughts and wishes. First of all I realize that you are not an investment advisor but do yourself invest in a good number of precious metal miners. Now if the FED did as you and many other analysts wished, which is to stop stimulating the economy, then your investments would sink. This has been proven many times as each time the FED says no QE3 then the gold stocks drop. It’s as if you are investing in companies and then hoping you are wrong. Now I do agree that when times are good that is when governments should use austerity measures by raising taxes and cutting expenses BUT when times are tough they should do just the opposite by cutting taxes AND stimulating the economy. Yes the governments have wrongly spent themselves into this crises but it is too late now to cut which would only cause a global recession or depression and severe unemployment and possible riots everywhere. The only solution to this mess is to inflate (stimulate) the economy now and once it gets back on it’s feet THEN begin to cut. Otherwise, the rich will get richer and the middle class will disappear. I’m not too sure why a good number of politicians and economists hate Bernanke. The guy spent years studying the depression and then when the world is facing it these same politicians and economists think they know better. I guess it doesn’t say much for Ben’s education. I’ll tell you if I have to choose between inflation and depression I’ll always choose inflation. It may cost more for a loaf of bread but at least I’ll have the money to buy it because I’ll have a job. Don’t blame Obama or Romney or any other of the recent U.S. presidents for this mess. It all goes back to Nixon who took the U.S. off the gold standard and opened the world to fiat money. That’s my two nickels (I’m Canadian and we no longer have cents).
