The United States is like the Titanic, and I'm here with the lifeboat trying to get people to leave the ship... I see a real financial crisis coming for the United States.

Fifty-dollar oil is just another stop on the road to much higher crude prices.

The primary factor that enables our government to peddle economic snake oil is the dollar's unique role as the world's reserve currency, and our creditors' willingness to preserve its status.

Printing money is merely taxation in another form.

You don't drive an economy by consuming - the consumer is not the engine, the consumer is the caboose.

Printing money is merely taxation in another form. Rather than robbing citizens of their money, government robs their money of its purchasing power.

The government can't create jobs; they'll destroy jobs trying to do it. The government doesn't have any money; all they have is a printing press. We need to free markets to create jobs; if the government wants to help, they should reduce their burden on the economy.
