Monetary History and the War of 1812 – February 1, 2012
Great show as usual with our money man Andrew Gause. The first hour we went hither and yon exploring the fiscal conditions in the U.S. and Europe and answered emails. The second hour we get a cool history lesson on the War of 1812, two hundred years ago. You may want to have your children’s history teacher check this out. Today’s show includes talk on:
-The European Central Bank and the Goldman Connection and what just went down in Davos, Switzerland.
-Greek “default” update and the coming Euro Bond
-Alexander Hamilton and his connection to the British and the First Central Bank. This control continues to this day.
-Urban gold
-How is it that some of the most well respected money “authorities” and big players are still Collapsatarians? What are they missing?
-Mortgage Backed Securities 101 and how the Federal Reserve Bank of NY and the ECB build their balance sheets.
-The Obama mortgage/foreclosure plan…a re-election special thinking of taking money out of your IRA?
-Many argue that if people stop borrowing, the game ends. Not so, and Mr. Gause explains why not.
-53% of American’s are in asset poverty
-Andy discloses the only stock he owns and has owned for some time
-Fannie and Freddie Mac plays both sides of the game, betting you’ll default
-The War of 1812, how the history books miss and important fact. The charter for the First Bank of the United States was due to expire in 1812. Andy tells the fascinating Rolls Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton played in this drama
