America Heading Towards a Collapse Worse Than 2008 AND Europe! – Yahoo

Schiff, who famously warned investors about the housing and financial crisis in his 2007 book Crash Proof, says the Fed’s palliative efforts during the housing meltdown have made the next crisis inevitable.

“We’ve got a much bigger collapse coming, and not just of the markets but of the economy,” Schiff says in the attached clip. “It’s like what you’re seeing in Europe right now, only worse.”

In this nightmare scenario detailed in The Real Crash: America’s Coming Bankruptcy, the current economic pause is actually the beginning of a material slowdown or recession into year end. At that point, the Federal Reserve will unleash a third round of Quantitative Easing — weakening the dollar without jump-starting the economy. As a result of dollar weakness, import prices rise, pressing the margins of corporate America. Lower margins lead to heavy layoffs, sending millions of workers into unemployment during a time when they can least afford it. Banks fail, housing collapses, and taxes are raised in a futile effort to give the tapped-out government the capital to try yet more futile stimulus.
