Friday News Round Up: Obama Accuses Iran of Concealed Nuclear Facility
Monday News Roundup: Health, Business, and International Affairs

Joining us for a new season of McCuistion TV, host Dennis McCuistion is joined by:

During this conversation centering around the financial crisis, Thomas Woods asserts that people are tired of conventional wisdom.  Guest, Steve Forbes believes most of the present problem in the breakdown of the free market economic system was caused by huge government errors. Forbes contends that the Federal Reserve printed too much money and made it artificially cheap. In addition lenders such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwrote too many junk mortgages.

“If private business makes a mistake they pay for it, if government does, we all do. Wall Street underwrote and securitized, but government distorts the free market.”

Thomas Woods touches on his new book, Meltdown,  and the reason he pushed hard to have the book released early. He believes having a free market perspective on the credit crunch is essential for people to understand what has truly happened. He says, “the government and the Federal Reserve’s fingerprints are all over this situation.”

Dennis addresses the Fred Foldvary prediction of a real estate depression in 2008.

They conclude with comments on the speculation in real estate, the magnificent money creation machine government made and how this was an artificial stimulus to speculation.
