Former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that the Fed’s wishy-washy language and behavior has been spoiling the financial markets. Every nuanced speech of central bankers can influence markets, making it impossible for Americans to get a true idea of how the economy is behaving. Warsh finds it disturbing that the Fed […]
Frank Holmes, Chief Executive at US Global Investors, told Kitco News that an interest rate hike would send the stock market plummeting.

Fox Business’ Kennedy spoke with Peter Schiff about President Obama’s praise for a mandatory voting system. Peter argued that mandatory voting doesn’t automatically lead to better government, because people won’t necessarily be making informed decisions.

David Stockman told Fox Business that the United States’ biggest economic priority should be getting the Federal Reserve under control.
