How can we insist this happens... he owes Schiff a penny fair and square... and after all that mocking and "OMG, Schiff, I have never heard anything so wrong and stupid!!"

He's lucky Peter let him get off with just a penny bet.

I was watching the ticker - gold was 623, and the Dow was over 11,000 on its way up to 14,000. Ah, nostalgia.

Most women love to work?

Funny, considering at my high school, which is on the wealthy end, most moms stay home.

not quite that much anymore :( Demand for copper has slowed so one copper penny is just above 1.5 cents, but the melt value is still more than the face value. ;)

We need to find a way to contact him en masse, and demand he pay Schiff a penny, and an apology for mocking Schiff.

I agree that it's worth putting a little effort into. Besides being fun, it might also be good publicity.

No long distance?

I've already programmed it into my cell phone.

Sitting on our asses emailing isn't doing a whole lot for our cause.

I'm going to sit on my ass and call instead. ;)

How about you guys in Nashville going down there today and picketing his offices with signs that read,

"Laffer owes Peter Schiff a Penny - Pay up"

Ok. I was going to say how we shouldn't contact him to rub it in his face.....but this seems like a good idea.

He needs his faced rubbed in it, just like a dog who made a mess on the floor. :)

I agree, he was so smug and so sure he was right. He and others like him, are part of the reason we are in this mess! They let the public believe the illusion for so long. I partly blame the media for this.

You could also email the kudlow and company show. Send them the link. ask them to go on air and ask for him to pay up.

I just called his office and she said only one other person has calle about this last week. She asked if I was a friend of Mr. Laffer and if he should call me back. I said that would not be nessicary. It's hard to believe only two people have called their office about this.

Ok, I just called as well. I was polite to the woman on the phone, since the poor thing probably has no idea what this is all about, but I suggested she bring it up with Mr. Laffer when he has a free moment. :)

this would be the best idea. Have them both return to the show for round two

You want this to get play?

Don't harass people at Laffer's office (Not saying any of you did -- in fact there seemed to be some civility reported - thanks).

The clip posted was CNBC. You know who *hates* CNBC?

Fox Business Channel!

Send the clip, a short blurb about the bet to your Fox Business Channel contacts and I am POSITIVE they'd love to do a follow-up on it. None of these guys have exclusivity agreements on which network they appear, so I am sure they could get Laffer vs. Schiff on.

Even if Laffer wouldn't appear, I am sure the the FBN folks would love to stir the shitpot by having Schiff publicly call him out on being a dumbass.

FBN has Ron Paul on all the time (to try and boost ratings/exposure no doubt), and if a pile of RP supporters pitch this idea to them, there is no doubt in my mind they'll run with it.

I have to give Cowlesy props on this one.....he's right, even though he is a filthy, disgusting mod.:p

Peter said in the beginning he would bet a lot more than a penny. Laffer must have been choking back the vomit from telling himself the lie that paper wealth is tangible.

Come on, I am sure one of you guys has FBN emails or some way of getting Cavuto and Glick aware of this.

Actually David Asman is usually friendly to Ron Paul. He'd probably be receptive to do something on "The Nightly Scoreboard" show.

This is actually hillarious.

Laffer isn't a bad dude, he's just economically ignorant. Maybe he's been humbled.

The best thing you could do for him and for everyone is send him a copy of Human Action.

Peter Schiff was right all along, as evidenced by our current financial crisis. Who's laughing now, Laffer?

I guess he was grading himself on a curve with other economists.....a Laffer Curve that is---------> ZING!!!!!!!!!!! Please do you self a favor if you haven't seen the video of Peter Schiff in front of a Mortgage Bankers Conference two years ago predicting the mess.
