Peter Schiff: "Nobody Wants To Deal With The Truth...That This Economy..."

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Mac Slavo

Renowned market analyst Peter Schiff said in his recent podcast that Americans just don't want the truth. Schiff says that it is very likely that we are already in a recession and no one wants to accept that or even deal with it.

"Nobody wants to deal with the truth; because you know how grim the reality is? Because if you have to accept the fact that this economy is going into recession, then you have to accept a lot of unpleasant things that nobody wants to admit," Schiff was quoted during his podcast, according to Schiff Gold.

The stock market got a nice bump on Monday with the news that there was a "truce" in the trade war. That lasted all of one day. The markets tanked on Tuesday as investors realized the "truce" really didn't mean anything. The Dow Jones plunged 799 points, a 3.1% drop. The S&P 500 declined 3.2%, while the Nasdaq was down 3.8%. As one news outlet put it, "investors are quickly realizing that the US-China trade war is not over. The tariffs already put in place remain. And new tariffs could be implemented if the two sides fail to make progress." –Schiff Gold
