"Collapse is HAPPENING!" - Peter Schiff Says the Stock Bubble Is Now Worse Than 2000

What was said

"The government can say, you know what, we're not going to pay you in a year. we're going to pay you in 30 years. So now you have a 30-year bond."

Peter Schiff predicts the US could effectively default without missing payments outright. He argues the government could extend Treasury maturities and cut coupons, reducing the market value of existing holdings.
