Survey: Interest rate explosion INEVITABLE!

by Martin Weiss on April 15, 2010

I’ve rarely seen anything like the strong opinions our readers are sharing with us in our poll and here on our blog!

Every day, about 2,000 more investors are giving us their opinions, and the results so far are fascinating:

Question #1. Will Washington stop its spending, borrowing and printing spree before it’s too late to save the U.S. economy?

Yes: 8.2%
No: 91.8%

Question #2. If your answer is “No,” how much longer do you believe America can continue before the Treasury bond market collapses and the recovery is sabotaged?

One year or less: 28.6%
One to two years: 58.5%
More than two years: 12.9%

And the answers to Question #3 — “What events do you believe could force Washington to reverse course?” — are equally intriguing.

The optimists among our readers feel that the November elections could offer a ray of hope — but many others point out that BOTH parties are equally guilty of piling up huge deficits.

The vast majority say it’s simply too late to avoid a major bond market crash and interest rate explosion. They’re predicting that foreigners will soon stop buying U.S. debt … that America’s credit rating will be slashed … that investors will dump Treasuries en masse … and even that China, India and OPEC could refuse to accept U.S. dollars in payment for trade.

One reader goes so far as to point out that the top 25 U.S. banks and some 25-35 insurance companies have massive amounts of off-balance-sheet derivatives. “One cannot fix this much stupidity,” he says.

Help us make sure
Washington hears us!

To make sure you have the opportunity to have your voice heard — to tell our leaders and the entire world just how concerned you are about this looming debt disaster, we’ve decided to leave our survey online for a few more days.

Here’s what we’re asking you to do …

And when our press campaign ends on May 1, we’ll send you a coupon good for 10% off any Weiss service. Use it when you purchase any Weiss service in the following 12 months to save up to $740! 

AND SECOND: After you’ve taken our poll, come back here and share other comments and thoughts you may have on the debt crisis — a forum where we can get more feedback from you and provide you with our thoughts as well.

Good luck and God bless!

10,000 investors say, “STOP IT, Washington!”

by Mike Larson on April 14, 2010

CLICK HERE to join the discussion!

In just two days, more than 10,000 investors have used our poll to send a crystal clear message to Washington: “Stop the spending, borrowing and money printing before it’s too late to avoid catastrophe!”

So far, an overwhelming 92% of our readers say that Washington will NOT listen until the bond market collapses, interest rates soar and the economy crashes and burns.

Fully 87% say this crisis will strike in less than two years. Nearly a third see the collapse coming in less than 12 months.

Plus, the conversation here on our blog has been smoking hot:

Cut spending? IMPOSSIBLE!

“With over 40% of the populace paying no taxes, yet demanding an ever larger share of entitlement benefits, it is simply not possible to reduce the levels of Federal spending.” — Larry F.

“What has gone on is sheer madness.”

“The debt crisis, real estate decline and credit restrictions have seriously affected my business. I want Washington to STOP printing money like there’s no tomorrow and STOP giving away money to the corporations that created these problems!” — Adele T.

I didn’t fight for this!

“I’m a WWII Veteran. What has happened in our government since WWII is a shame. Not one American soldier who gave his life for our country would have cast a vote for ANY politician in Washington D.C. today.” — Floyd R.

America is on its knees!

“As an ‘old timer’ I have watched in unbelief as policy changes, over spending, exporting of jobs and industry demise has brought the leading industrial nation of the world to its knees.” — J.J.

“For thee I weep …”

“I weep for my children and my descendants, they who will inherit the garbage dump when the dollar can no longer buy the necessities. How sad, how very, very tragically sad. Shakespeare couldn’t have written a more profound tragedy than the one that’s unfolding now.” — Eleanor B.

92.3% say bond crisis is inevitable!

The results of our survey are shocking to say the least:

So far, an overwhelming 92.3% of all respondents say that Washington will NOT stop its spending/borrowing/printing spree until it ’s too late to avert disaster …

Plus, a resounding 29.6% say the treasury bond market will collapse in one year or less, while 57.7% expect to see this catastrophe in one to two years — between now and 2012!

And, as you might expect, the action here on my personal blog has been red hot:

Ruth pulls no punches: “Our leaders have heard us,” she says. “They don’t care what we want.”

Robert agrees, writing, “Congress and the President only know how to spend. The only thing that will stop them is to vote them out of office.”

Lloyd C. takes it a step farther: “It is only a matter of time until the government as we know it is the next big bubble to burst leaving the … U.S.A. little more than a Third World country …”

Stop Washington before it’s too late!

by Martin Weiss on April 12, 2010

It’s an outrage: Our leaders still haven’t heard us!

Despite all our petitions and protests, Washington is still spending MORE … borrowing MORE … and printing MORE than ever before.

Look. Most people know that the federal budget deficit nearly quadrupled last year — from around $400 billion in 2008 to more than $1.4 trillion in 2009. What they may not realize is that …

  • In 2010, our nation’s red ink is more than TWICE as bad as the worst deficit during the Great Depression — an explosive force that would normally drive interest rates through the roof.

  • But the Federal Reserve has temporarily shielded the American public from surging interest rates by buying up nearly one and a half TRILLION dollars in bonds — financing the deficit with paper money. 

  • If the Fed continues on this reckless path, inflation will explode and your dollar will be destroyed. And if the Fed does NOT finance the huge deficits, interest rates will surge.

Either way, there is only real solution: We must STOP the administration and Congress from spending and borrowing us into oblivion.

We must stop our leaders from stealing from future generations to finance and perpetuate the excesses of present generations … from sacrificing America’s future potential and stability on the altar of present expediency … from piling up more debt to deal with meltdowns caused by too much debt in the first place … from creating new financial bubbles to overcome the consequences of prior financial busts.

There’s no other way to say it: If America’s leaders aren’t forced stop this insanity immediately, the U.S. economy may never recover from the resulting disaster.

I have personally sworn to do everything in my power to help restore fiscal sanity before it’s too late — before Washington’s out-of-control spending and borrowing crush our country.

BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!

I’ve created a simple, three-question poll that I think will tell our leaders and the entire world just how concerned we investors are about what’s going on in Washington and the debt-disaster path that they’ve set this country on.

So by taking a few seconds to answer these three questions, you’ll help us get the word out. We will send the results of this poll to every major news outlet in America AND to the White House and key members of Congress.

Plus, just to prove that you really can do well by doing good …

I’ll pay you up to $740

Good luck and God bless!
