Peter Schiff says the market must be left to deal with the mess, and Government intervention will merely delay the inevitable reckoning and lead to a far worse crash.

He spoke to Stephen Long.

PETER SCHIFF: Well I don't think it's gonna rescue us from anything.

I think what we're doing is the equivalent of selling our financial souls to the devil, because it was the government that got us into this mess.

It's Henry Paulson, it's Ben Bernanke and his predecessor Alan Greenspan, they created this mess, not the free market and there's no solution that involves more government. And there's certainly no solution that involves more inflation.

I mean if we think we can solve our problems by creating inflation, we ought to send some of these guys down to Zimbabwe to see how well it's working out for them.

STEPHEN LONG: You're not suggesting that America could end up in a situation like Zimbabwe with totally out of control inflation?

PETER SCHIFF: No, no… Yes I am. I'm not only suggesting that, I'm saying that.


STEPHEN LONG: Why do you think that that's the case?

PETER SCHIFF: Because that's all we've got. You know, if we keep creating money, maybe another couple of trillion dollars to try to buy up all these mortgages that never would have existed if it wasn't for number one; the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates much too low and then the government interfering in the housing market with entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which insured all these mortgages and which allowed all these crazy mortgage products to come into existence, they never would have existed absent these government guarantees.

interesting , analysts believe that USA is heading the way of Zimbabwe in terms of hyperinflation ....

Zimbabwe has inflation of 1000+ % , if such inflation hits USA, the US economy is guaranteed to collapse
