Safe Mode: On
Mr. Schiff Returns to Washington

Does Washington have the American taxpayers' interests as their top priority? Watch as lobbyists drown out your voice and Peter fights the tide.

6:06 - My Opening Statement

11:16 - "I don't know whether to go to Mr. Schiff or not, but I guess I will" - Judy Biggert (R)
I explain to Chairwoman Judy Biggert why federal involvement in home lending has created more problems than it has solved.

16:22 - "Despite all the sound and fury, there's not a lot of details..." - Robert Hurt (R)
My proposals that old regulations be repealed, rather than new ones proposed, in order for the free market to come up with solutions are repeatedly lost on Congressman Robert Hurt.

25:16 - "Mr. Schiff, I just have one question..." - Emanuel Cleaver (D)
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II unsuccessfully tries to 'nail' me. Instead, a spirited discussion ensues in which I remind the congressman of the moral hazard and economic costs of government subsidies.

30:38 - "Maybe that happens in an Ayn Rand novel..." - Dan Sherman (D)
Congressman Dan Sherman asserts that as a practical matter the federal government, in one way or another, insures all homes, and that only characters in an Ayn Rand novel would believe otherwise.

  • The behavior of the sitting politicians is so infuriating, I can't even see straight right now. These people are rampantly, and absurdly incompetent!

    I dont even know what to say... I don't know how Peter could sit in the face of such extreme ignorance, and face such futile discussion without his head exploding like a grenade, because mine surely would have.

  • Peter Schiff is a giant asshole, but he's also very smart, and often right.

    Ever see him at OWS? HILARIOUS!

    • @86mang75 Agreed, his attitude annoys the hell out of me, but I guess it comes from decades of saying it how it is and being ignored. Not a sweet heart in a debate, but he is right.
