Episode Description
Jeff Deist, Congressman Ron Paul’s Chief of Staff will explain how Congress deceives the American people into thinking it is controlling the Fed. But in fact, Jeff will point out investigations by Congress are a smokescreen to convince the public that their elected officials are looking out for them. That’s on the surface. The reason Congress did not pass an “Audit the Fed” bill with teeth is because it does not want the Fed to disappear. Were that to happen, Congressmen could no longer spend more money than they are able to tax. Representatives know that if they had to raise taxes for all they spend, they would be thrown out of office in a New York Minute. So getting rid of the Fed or auditing the Fed, which would no doubt mandate its death, is out of the question. Yet, the popularity of Jeff’s boss, Ron Paul is rising among the middle class in large part because he has stood against the Fed. A Ron Paul led "revolution" is underway. Can Americans recoup their country? We’ll ask Jeff.

Jay Taylor has been able to more than double his newsletter’s model portfolio from 2000 to the present even as the S&P 500 was in the process of losing 50% of its value!
The insights provided to Jay came from a history professor in 1967 who advised Jay that when countries go off a gold or silver standard, hard economic times are sure to follow because nations begin to think they do not need to work hard and save to enjoy a better life. Indeed there is no free lunch and a gold standard reminds people of that every day.
Jay watched his professor’s prophetic words come true when in 1971, President Nixon completely detached the dollar from gold. Not surprising to Jay, the price of gold skyrocketed in the late 1970s as inflation wiped out vast amounts of wealth from average Americans. To protect his own wealth Jay began to invest in gold and gold mining shares and in 1981 he began sharing his success and insights in his newsletter. In 1981 Jay began writing a subscription newsletter that has earned his subscribers countless thousands of dollars over the years.
Jay’s insights as to the real cause of our problems has enabled him to find investment strategies that work. Diagnose a problem correctly and you have a chance for success. Diagnose a problem incorrectly as the establishment does and you are sure to fail.
