If you listen to the pundits on the financial networks, you\u2019ll hear the word \u201cvolatile\u201d used over and over again. That word certainly seems to describe the current state of US stock markets and in a broader sense the economy. But during a recent interview on <em>RT News<\/em> with Rick Sanchez, Peter Schiff said it\u2019s not that the economy is volatile. It\u2019s actually <a href=\"https:\/\/schiffgold.com\/videos\/21641\/\">a bubble<\/a>. And we are on the verge of a bigger crisis than the one we went through in 2008.<span id=\"more-21671\"><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s not a volatile economy, it\u2019s a bubble economy. Thanks to the Federal Reserve, they inflated an even bigger bubble, on purpose, than the one they inflated by accident that popped in 2008. And so the economy is in much worse shape structurally today then it was before it fell apart the last time. So, this is the beginning of a much greater crisis, of a much greater recession than the one that we experienced back in 2008.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wRcm8Zs80dI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sanchez asked Peter what exactly the Federal Reserve did wrong. Peter said, basically, everything.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But the biggest things they did wrong were lowering interest rates down to zero, practically, and leaving them there for pretty much the entirety of the Obama presidency. And then they\u2019ve barely raised them. They\u2019re still at 2%, which is very low. They also did all the quantitative easing where they printed a bunch of money and bought US government bonds and mortgage bonds. That enabled the housing bubble to reflate, and that enabled the US government to go much deeper into debt. So, the government didn\u2019t cut spending, which is what we needed. They increased spending. But it also enabled corporations to lever up and buy stocks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Schiff: This Is the Beginning of a Much Bigger Crisis (Video) Wall Street has been on a roller coaster ride over the last few months.
