For much of the past decade The Federal Reserve blew up a series of financial bubbles in order to keep our artificially inflated economy from experiencing a needed rebalancing. They gave us trillions of dollars of quantitative easing bond purchases, a hopelessly bloated Federal deficit, and zero percent interest rates for almost eight years. But despite all of that, our economy never really recovered. Now the economy is dangerously close to another recession and the Fed is ready to reach into its bag of tricks to find a new way to jolt us into growth? But what is their snake oil hurts more than it helps? Renown investor and economist Peter Schiff, who is widely credited for his predictions on the mortgage crisis of 2008, will explain why the next dose of artificial stimulus will likely be the overdose that pushes our economy over the edge and radically reshuffles the values of investment portfolios.
