dimitri let's move on maybe you need some helium but guess what there's no shortage of. people asking where is the helium take a look. texas is the largest producer of helium so how is it that we can't get helium here for our balloons blaming the shortage and rising prices on the downturn in natural gas production. so just quickly and i'm sure that'll be fine because you don't have any things that day oh you do ok well there's a shortage it's not just in the u.s. it's in places like tokyo and algeria they're being forced to literally deflate their balloons reportedly inflatable mickey mouse heads at disneyland in tokyo are being sold well maybe this will stop all the kids here in america birthday parties suck on helium and get on helium it's not high it just makes your voice i mean and i actually wanted to try and find a helium balloon for this happens so so i guess i'm not very much more sophisticated than those kids you're talking to used to do that. of course as well but what's so funny about it i don't know you sound funny so that's it you know dimitri let's move on

that's you know dimitri let's move on ok. there are. this is fun because we have dimitri to add his wisdom to intervene peter schiff this week about his hyper inflation predictions which he's been calling for since at least two thousand and eight and dominic's kaleri tweeted me to say sorry capital account i listen to shift almost every morning and he's always said hyperinflation is a worst case scenario so what you think about that i mean that is true but i guess the question is how long can you kind of qualify such a bold prediction well where you get need to be called out on it i mean i don't know exactly that specific thing but i think where i think peter shifts and i can sympathize with me and i made this mistake as well in two thousand and eight i give too much credit to the increase in base funding. not enough to the effect of the banking system and bank lending and additional forms of affectively what is money so i thought that we would get inflation a lot sooner or with greater. expansions another was so i think there is room t

so i don't know enough said there but dimitri you challenged him on twitter i did come on and to debate we have those tweets doesn't look like he took you up on that as the offer still stands there are told him he started obviously with his blog the blog post he wasn't happy about your phone remarkable because we were extremely magnanimous and we brought on someone who very mary may not agree with on everything you're going to get over the florida talk about it so my cousin. called me out on twitter and then i called him and i said listen i tell you what mike if you if you think that you're not getting a fair shake whatever it is or you disagree with me play were also show for a day ok if you keep bringing up my name and blog you come on the show and i'll do . so you will have an open debate open discussion on the show he didn't respond the first week or so again i was like you can back out obviously if you're if you're uncomfortable he didn't respond so my call if you're told to come out of the show host the show you can debate me you didn't respond he disappeared you were busy tweetin

ok let's wrap up with loose change dimitri let's talk about central bankers it's your favorite topic out wrong there my favorite people there so alan greenspan very famous former one spoke out on whether a painless solution can be found to avoiding the fiscal cliff ever do sing us long term deficits take a listen. the presumption i'm going to have a plane with fruit from truth i think is fantasy. so he said it's fantasy that there is going to need to be economic pain in reducing long term deficit i agree with him on that i'm glad he's going to be alcoholic and i'm glad he's out saying things like this whether to become mr realism whether you become mr lanolin left office yet he was no longer i don't know it official. this. you know alan greenspan has gotten off the hook. if there's one person that's walked away when the financial crisis happened like he got a little bit of flack but that's it you know he hasn't got and still of there are a lot of. you know you couldn't do didn't know what industry should be or whether they were too hard too low i'm just i think there's one guy that's

all right let's wrap up with loose change dimitri on friday we were talking about the front runner to be the next prime minister of japan shinzo abi and he won and here is jim grant on friday saying why we should possibly pay attention i'm thinking that this might be something worth watching. following which they seem to have a propensity to do that we fall. so if we unlimited easing into one percent do you think we will see the. end of last decades most of this isn't going to solve the economic growth problem the real question is will this. at a good point which is that at the end of the. the inflation was something that he couldn't couldn't get under control of a bull market. and in this case they would be the b.o.j. . grow it's made a very good point so. because we want to let you know collecting four hundred but we earlier in the money but it turns out looking back in history presidents have declared bankruptcy we want to bring a few of them to you so we have a blink in he was a failed shop keeper ok open it up but. up to eight hundred thirty three creditors took him to court the

ok let's wrap up with loose change because dimitri yesterday we wanted to do the instagram story because everyone was abuzz over changes that were announced to their terms of use which suggested that the photo sharing service could use photos of the users in ads well they faced a total backlash and now they're saying. that they will not be using an instagram like you see there in any of their ads they said that they'll change that language because they face so much opposition dimitry are you terribly disappointed because i could see that being a very valuable to some kind of company who wanted a great face to advertise some kind of prose for anti anger and anxiety medication maybe. something. why don't we have a feeling of. should be a prozac commercial there wouldn't bird flying through thing. i don't even require that you know if i had a very good credit as i am loathe to discover that that interview am will not be using our images or is all right now because i know me privacy folks we're all up in arms but you know i would be thrilled so i want to make sure we got them in there becaus

are let's wrap up with loose change dimitri with a pickle cliff negotiations continuing one thing that we hear about relentlessly is taxing the rich. the rich pay as a percentage of their income less than the middle class does we have a tax system that needs entire over a home and he made clear that the rich must pay their fair share meeting taxes will go up to the top two percent who would talk with no one talk about reform just tax the rich more ok well a new study is being written about today it came out of germany and some economists found that there is a correlation between higher taxes and higher life satisfaction or third ject of well being from what i understand the dimitri they kind of try to weigh trying to find a way to make income. not a factor so just generally like taxation was correlated with better well being but some of the things within a study that i was reading where that the lower percentage on the lower scale of income they were happier paying taxes because they get more out of their taxes in terms of services so what it was the people in the middle lower the lowe

all right let's wrap up with loose change dimitri on friday we were talking about the front runner to be the next prime minister of japan shinzo abbate and he won and here is jim grant on friday saying why we should possibly pay attention. thinking that this might be something worth watching because there's no other reason the japanese will be getting on with all of which they seem to have put it in to do that we fall in the world in implementing truly radical monetary policies . so if we see unlimited easing in japan as the prime minister wants and he wants to raise the inflation target to two percent it's right now one percent do you think we will see the end of last decade and deflation in japan why are we different to the end of last decades of this isn't going to solve the economic growth problem the real question is will this solve the nominal deflation issue i don't think it will be you know what jim graham made a good point which was that at the end of the the but the bear the bond bear market people thought that the central bank would be impotent the inflation was something t

hasn't done so the past couple of years exactly if we go back to twenty eleven they didn't have to dimitri at the time the coffers were full and it was full of oil money. at the time the. the finance minister alexei courage and who is no more any more he set up this cushion fund as you say it was a contingency plan for a rainy day and at the time people were saying well haitian is spent on infrastructure improving russia the future of it and well actually it seemed to work because he loved for the mistakes that were made in one nine hundred ninety eight when we had a catastrophic disaster in terms of the economy we had all opines as promised in the ruble devaluing so it meant that the financial crisis they hit the globe in two thousand and eight left rough so largely unscathed. so those lessons were learned also just to demonstrate how how good he was as a finance minister in two thousand and six the whole of the u.s.s.r. that was accounted for such as put in to perspective for you know it's right yeah the paris club that was was paid off completely forty five billion dollars. basically he

ok well dimitri what is this symbolic of i mean she has denied it i believe to these papers i do need to get that in there. because then i heard was these are the she said a lot of lies but the one thing that was remarkable was essentially that maybe these attacks are coming against me because we haven't effectively. plundered the state or whatever it is our family has been you know we haven't plundered it was a little different but forget the translation but the point is that i think that she's old she probably doesn't even know where her money is. i'm not doubting at all that she has money on this account i don't could be legal no i don't i don't think you i am sure i would imagine there's a good amount of money that greek families that are in politics have invested abroad that is not legal ok because they have been. career politicians and greece is a club doctor see has been for many decades out of either a family has been in power for a very long time so i think that it's and the reason was was five thousand about that sought is this myth of tax evasion and let's go after doctors
