Schiff: 2/3 of America to Lose Everything Because of This Crisis

A record breaking stock market is distorting a frightening  reality:  The U.S. is being eaten alive  by a horrific cancer that will ultimately destroy the economy and impoverish  the vast majority of its citizens.

That’s according to Peter Schiff, the best-selling author  and CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, who delivered his harsh warning to investors in  a recent interview on Fox Business.

“I think we are heading for a worse economic crisis than we  had in 2007,” Schiff said.  “You’re going  to have a collapse in the dollar…a huge spike in interest rates… and our whole  economy, which is built on the foundation of cheap money, is going to topple  when you pull the rug out from under it.”

Schiff says that, despite “phony” signs of an economic  recovery, the cancer destroying America stems from a lethal concoction of our  $16 trillion federal debt and the Fed’s never ending money printing.

Currently, Bernanke and company is buying $1 trillion of  Treasury and mortgage bonds a year. That’s about $85 billion per month against  a budget deficit that is about the same level.

According to Schiff, these numbers are unsustainable. And  the Fed has no credible “exit strategy.”

Georgia high school to hold first desegregated prom

As Quanesha Wallace remembers, it was around this time last year when the idea first came up at Wilcox County High School. It was nothing big, just chatter about prom, school, what comes next, what they’d change.

If things were different, someone said, we’d all go to the same prom.

For as long as anyone could remember, students in their South Georgia community went to separate proms, and homecoming dances, too. White students from Wilcox County attend one. Black students, another. They’re private, invitation-only events organized by parents and students, not the school district. Schools have long been desegregated, but in Wilcox County, the dances never changed.

The friends all agreed they’d go to an integrated prom, Quanesha said, and when they asked, others said, “Yeah, I’d go, too.”

“We are all friends,” Quanesha’s friend, Stephanie Sinnot, told CNN affiliate WGXA-TV in Macon, Georgia. “That’s just kind of not right that we can’t go to prom together.”

So now it’s April, and prom is coming up, and these black and white friends, longtime pals who go to classes together and play sports together and hang out together, are going to prom together, too. For the first, the students are organizing an integrated dance, one that welcomes any of Wilcox County High’s 400 students.Wilcox High School students - photo from WGXA via CNN

CNBC Guide to Obamacare for Small Businesses

Even as you finish with this year’s taxes, if you’re a small-business owner experts say it’s time to look ahead to 2014, when the tax implications of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) begin to kick in.

“Just now, things are really sinking in that there is this employer responsibility,” said Amanda Austin, of the National Federation of Independent Business.

Under ACA, often called Obamacare, employers with 50 or more full-time workers face a mandate to provide insurance. It’s known formally as shared responsibility.

“You’re going to need somebody to do a thorough review of the impact on your business,” Austin said, because the new rules are complex.

How does this affect your second amendment rights?  Will it stop gun violence and school shootings?

ENGLEWOOD — Gun-control supporters gathered Saturday afternoon with signs and posters to raise awareness of the gun debate at the federal level.
