Watchdog on Wall Street Chris Markowski Weighs In on the Financial Crisis

"Watchdog on Wall Street" Chris Markowski's roles are reversed when Rich Bergeron interviews this popular talk show host about the distressed U.S. economy.
As part of Fight News Unlimited‘s plan to expand our coverage to cover fights of all kinds on all fronts, we spoke today with Chris Markowski, known as the Watchdog on Wall Street.
“Rabble Rousin'” Rich Bergeron interviewed Markowski earlier today to tackle the fight against government waste and corruption that is playing out in congressional debates and is a topic TV news pundits are constantly discussing these days. Markowski is a political and economic expert and nationally-syndicated radio talk show host. Chris talks about a variety of different topics surrounding our volatile United States economy in our podcast below.
USA Today reported recently that the US Government will be on the hook for 61.6 trillion dollars in unpaid financial promises thanks in part to Social Security and Medicare. The Watchdog on Wall Street says if you add the financial bailouts and other government payouts for social programs we could see this number hit 100 trillion dollars. Chris Markowski predicted this would happen 5 years ago, and has been warning Americans for over 10 years.
That debt makes each US household responsible to pay $527,000.00 to fund these promises. That responsibility is 5 times the amount an average US home borrows for a house, car and other debt.
