Peter Schiff versus a populist from Michigan

Be it resolved that no federal money should go towards bailing out failing automakers. There's a couple funny parts about these clips. I like the mayor's blank response to the first question (must have been technical difficulties or something). I then chuckle when Schiff realizes his good fortune on the first question.

I think the callers who call in to the show are funny. The whole cable news medium is really quite annoying, especially when they throw hapless non-intellectuals into the middle of a conversation like this.

What I really found funny, other than Schiff's normal quirky facial expressions and polemic style, was a quick line from Schiff in the second part. The host is mentioning how auto executives are accepting $1 per year salary when Schiff chimes in off camera, "They're overpaid."

Sorry about the Matrix stuff at the intro and ending... The Matrix is cool and all. At least the first movie was. But I don't like seeing it used to score cheap philosophical points.

Peter Schiff's Sometimes Comical Analogies

Sometimes a metaphor is useful to help understand a concept. Sometimes it can be hilarious. I definitely laughed when Schiff characterized Bernanke and Paulson as blind and drunk pilots.

Retrospective on Peter Schiff

It's funny to hear Peter Schiff being all but laughed off of these business shows back in the day. I particularly like the part where Ben Stein recommends Merrill Lynch stocks.

Peter Schiff on the Economy

Little in the way of good news. But has he found reality? Where are they going to get the money?
