Peter's Blog

Last week Peter joined Shannon Joy on her podcast to warn listeners that runaway government spending and a corrupting alliance between state and corporate power are eating away at living standards. He connects collapsing consumer confidence, rising interest rates, and a political media culture that shields power to make the case that savers need sound […]

On Tuesday, Peter appeared on Kiko News to warn that markets and the public are underestimating how costly the United States’ borrowing binge will become. He walks through bond market complacency, rising consumer inflation expectations, the danger that foreign creditors may stop funding the deficit, and how politics has dulled fiscal accountability. He also points […]

In Tuesday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter lays out a stark thesis: the next major crisis won’t be a replay of 2008’s private-credit collapse, but a sovereign-credit reckoning that threatens currencies and bond markets worldwide.

Federal Budget The Federal Government publishes the spending and revenue numbers on a monthly basis. The charts and tables below give an in-depth review of the Federal Budget, showing where the money is coming from, where it is going to, and the surplus or deficit. The government fiscal year closes at the end of September, […]

Despite pundits’ claims to the contrary, war is not good for the economy. When warhawks fail to grasp this, they fall prey to the age-old broken window fallacy.
