Video: Peter Schiff on The Myth Surrounding Janet Yellen's Forecasting Record

Mainstream media glorifies incoming Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's forecasting track record for supposedly having warned against the 2008 crisis. 

Using Ms. Yellen's speeches and public pronouncements as basis, financial analyst Peter Schiff, in the following video, debunks such claims as inaccurate and an exaggeration.

This is important because the consensus seems to have massively build their hopes and optimism around Ms. Yellen's leadership. In reality, what the mainstream  has been cheering about has been the prospects of bigger inflationist policies, which signify as subsidies to Wall Street and politicians at the expense of main street. This also means that the mainstream expects Ms. Yellen to accommodate bigger and bigger systemic debt.

Worst, should Ms. Yellen's administration oblige to Wall Street's desires, then we should expect a bubble bust under her watch. 

Again as pointed out in the past, outgoing Fed chief Ben Bernanke must have been cunning enough to have bailed out and passed the burden of bubbles to his successor.
