Peter Schiff Says US Dollar Collapse ‘Inevitable’
Peter Schiff is a well-known economist, and he has reacted to the Fitch Ratings. He stated in a tweet that the Fitch rating is not sensible and Treasury bonds are junk bonds. He also added that this rating affects currency depreciation and would result in a dollar collapse.
More than credit ratings, the rising national debt will have a hard impact as the FED will continue to print money, which will indirectly devalue the dollar.
He added in another tweet that the US will soon face a crash. Rising debt, a rise in unemployment, a falling dollar, and a rise in oil and gold prices will increase inflation. This will have a negative impact on the world economy.
