Addison Wiggin on an Empire of Debt and the Mother of all Bubbles (Part 1)
Watch more Capital Account @ www.youtube.com twitter.com twitter.com Part 2 of this interview here (www.youtube.com Tonight is the President's annual state of the union address, but what really is the state of our union? Gerald Ford delivered those famous words during a time of rising trade and budget deficits, an expanding national debt and high unemployment. America had already started down the road to empire long before that, but almost 40 years later, what do we have to show for it? Our next guest, co-writer and producer of the award winning documentary IOUSA And best-selling author of the 2006 book, "Empire of Debt: the rise of an epic financial crisis," joins me to discuss just that. And with the two-day FOMC meeting kicking off this morning, the only thing we've been promised is more transparency...kind of -- interest rate forecasts of individual committee members will now be made public. But considering that the Fed has already committed to keeping rates near zero as far s the eye can see, is this really a concession, or just more helpless PR by a central bank that has reached the limits of one...not so great...moderation? Can they prevent the deflation of what Addison Wiggin refers to as "the mother of all bubbles"?

Titled "Solving the National Debt Crisis: It's Not Rocket Science," the forum will be from 6 to 8 pm in the Conference Center at the Seminole Campus. The solutions will be offered by the Concord Coalition, a non-partisan, grassroots organization based in Washington, DC Its documentary film, "IOUSA Solutions," takes the complexity out of the national debt crisis.

Presenting the film and update of the fiscal crisis will be Joshua Gordon, Policy Director of the Concord Coalition. Dr. Gordon, who grew up in Seminole and graduated from St. Petersburg High School, directs the Coalition's research on the federal budget, health care policy and tax policy.
