According to him, the transition from borrowing and spending to saving and producing cannot be accomplished without a severe recession, given the current imbalances of the US economy. But according to him, that transition needs to happen. He also thinks the government is doing no one a favor by trying to "ease the pain" with stimulus packages, bailouts and such. Schiff believes these actions will only make the situation worse and possibly result in hyperinflation if the government continues to "replace legitimate savings with a printing press".</BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://yedies.blogspot.com/2009/01/peter-schiff-speaks-once-again-about.html"><DIV>If Mr. Thain or any other bone headed CEO wishes to <A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28793175/">squander corporate funds by buying expensive accouterments</A> for their offices, then they should be allowed to go out of business.
