US Mortgage Payments Will Be Cheaper Than Stamps In 30 Years

Peter Schiff covers a wide range of topics in his latest interview with Chris Waltzek on GoldSeek Radio. Of course, they look closely at the precious metals markets and how they're being influenced by the Federal Reserve's monetary manipulation. However, they also discuss the price of oil, Russia's ruble problems, and the future of the United States housing market.
