Charles Goyette

Charles Goyette, author of the Dollar Meltdown, is a former Phoenix talk show host, has years of experience as a financial professional and has long been a participant in the national economic debate. In fact more than 25 years ago Charles arranged for a then little-known Texas Congressman to be the keynote speaker at a series of monetary conferences he hosted.

 

Goyette has often been called on to share his views with television audiences nationally including with Glenn Beck and Bill Reilly on Fox, Bill Moyers on PBS, on CNBC and MSNBC, and on Lou Dobbs on CNN where he repeatedly warned before the current turmoil of the “economic calamity the Republicans and Democrats” were creating. 

 

He has written for The American Conservative and Gannett magazines, and for CNBC.com and TheStreet.com.

 

• How the price of gold moves higher as the U.S. national debt ceiling moves higher. (The lid on the national debt was raised an astonishing 7 times in the Bush years and twice during Obama’s first year. And another debt ceiling hike is right around the corner!)

 

• How the short frenzy of bailouts, stimulus spending and government guarantees, quickly grew to more than the entire U.S. federal debt!  (And why they lit the fuse for The Dollar Meltdown!)

 

• Why Federal Reserve chairmen Greenspan and Bernanke failed to foresee the growing financial crisis – even as they added fuel to its fires! (And why the more-of-the-same policies spell an even bigger calamity than the one we’re living through!)

 

• How the visible national debt of $12 trillion is dwarfed by America’s real, but hidden, national debt of almost $100 trillion!  (Like an iceberg, most of the nation’s debt is hidden from view. And like the Titanic, the ship of state can’t be turned in time to avoid a financial collision.)

 

• What your share of the hidden national debt is: For a family of four it’s about $1.3 million.  (Since America’s median household income is only $50,000, you see why there is no prospect of the debt ever being paid.)

 

• About the sleight-of-hand by which the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air! (And why they do it!)

 

• How the Adjusted Monetary Base has exploded as the Federal Reserve revs up the engines of inflation. (And like a race car revving up at the starting line, what happens when the clutch is popped!)

• About America’s growing “command economy” and the three things that accompany an out-of-control debt-driven monetary policy.   (Price controls, rationing, and intrusive bureaucracies.)

 

• What Persian Gulf oil producers and other countries are doing to prepare for the dollar meltdown. (And the similar steps you can take to protect yourself and your family!)

 

• Why energy independence – promised by every president from Nixon to Obama – is a costly myth!  (And why China gave up that myth to secure its energy future.)
