Fighting Government Corruption and Waste: Watchdog on Wall Street Chris Markowski Weighs In

Posted on | June 17, 2011 | No Comments

"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.

[mpinpage]

“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.

Chris Markowski’s Background:

* Hosts a syndicated radio show which is heard in over 100 markets
* Regularly featured expert on CW network’s “Daily Buzz”
* Frequent Contributor to FOX News and CNN
* President of Markowski Investments
* Appeared on “Inside Edition”
* Political and Financial Expert

KARIM “HARD HITTA” MAYFIELD FACES STEVE FORBES TONIGHT ON ESPN2 FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS

By Vittorio Tafur ~ San Francisco Chronicle It’s been a long time coming but the Fillmore’s Mayfield has a televised bout tonight on ESPN2. The welterweight faces former junior lightweight world champion Steve Forbes in Austin, Texas, in the “Friday Night Fights” co-feature to Fernando Guerrero’s NABF light middleweight title fight against Grady Brewer. The 30-year-old Mayfield (13-0, 8 KOs) hasn’t fought in a little more than a year, but has kept busy as one of Manny Pacquiao’s sparring partners. “I was inactive for a whole year, and I definitely should be at least 18-0 with all the promotional issues and opponents pulling out, but it’s my time now,” Mayfield said. “Steve Forbes has a lot of experience, but that stuff’s never meant nothing to me. I’m going in there to emerge victorious and have my hand raised.” Big-time TV fight for S.F.’s Mayfield By Ryan Maquiñana ~ Comcast Sports Net New Faces: Karim Mayfield By Doug Fischer ~ RingTV.com Karim Mayfield and Steve Forbes meet at the crossroads By John Raspanti ~ DoghouseBoxing.com Karim Mayfield: Ready to face the best By Joseph Herron ~ EastSideBoxing.com
