What I see the Fed does is allow for sub prime lending and loans that simply can't be paid off for the sake of making the banks more rich and to keep people as indentured slaves to the American workforce.

Yeah, your ideas are just are ridiculous as the 'Bots'

Speaking of control.

You know darned well gas should be not just at least $5 but well above that at $90+ a barrel.

Why are they holding back?

You know why, because they control every single aspect of the economy including the price fixing of gas.

The Fed, The President and the Corporations all in 110% control of all of it.

The Earthquakes. They are occuring as I said after the west side of the plate flaired up.

Chile getting rocked to the south and Alaska to the north.

Don't worry Californians will be surfing to land waves soon enough.

"Bots" eh?

I've abandoned my Oil, Economy and Internet threads et al.

Now you can stare at Ron Paul and Anti-Hillary Threads till your hearts content.

Enjoy

Nope, didn't think so.

Coward ! :thumbsdown:

I tried to register twice, the slackjawed morons over there can't figure out how to authorize people yet.

I am not spewing any Keynesian bullshit, but you're the coward for not countering anything I say. What's wrong? Not smart enough despite all of your wizened knowledge gained by being a RonPaulBot? Can't do anything but pigeonhole me as a "keynesian"?

Awe, poor baby. Not knowledgeable enough to beat little ole me. You, like most RonPaulBots don't know anything but what's been fed to you, like the rest of the lemmings you so despise and wish Ron Paul would counter. Yet, you are so much like the establishment, you are just fooling yourself into thinking the contrary.

It's quite sad actually.



Well, they have about 11,000 members that HAVE figured out how to register, all of them with weaker minds than you. Frankly, someone who isn't bright enough to figure that out MIGHT just believe the FED is a good thing.

You indicated that you have donated money to Ron Paul's campaign before, and presumably to help him win? Don't you think that correcting this mistaken belief that so many of Paul's supporters have is very important? That is why you should go into the lion's den and propose your scripture. I can't wait for you to get your ass handed to you.

But alas, you won't do it. You'll say "I cannot register, damnit!" or "Not tonight, I've got other things to do" You're a coward, plain and simple.

Since you seem to pretend you are so smart, why do you tell US why the Fed is bad. Or do you not do that because you don't really understand, but you saw a Youtube video that did all the thinking for you.

Also, a cursory glance at those forums shows that you are in trouble of being debated in any reasonable form Legendkiller.

Let's put the war and it's cost in perspective. With the system we have now, Congress will approve funding and spend money they don't have; the military gets that money for which we and our progeny will get the bill somewhere down the road. But if you do it Ron's way, you raise taxes right now to pay for the war, in which case it lasts for 30 days because fiscal responsibility is required when you cannot create dollars ex-nihilo. Congress would get an earful from us.

It would give us a chance to reduce a $9 trillion debt and $60 trillion in future obligations

C'mon legend, go over there. This is an important issue to resolve and I'd like to see the discussion.

Every time I start to get excited about Ron Paul (like when I found out how great his position was on homeschooling), I see the 9/11 trilateral commission world government Amero asshats trot out another stupid thread, I remember his positions on this stuff, and I get alienated again.

Olivier Blanchard is acutally a pretty prestigious economist. But I guess you already knew that being the brilliant mind you are. And yeah, August 2007 is way too old. Reports that aren't published with in the last week are totally wrong. And yes this is Cheney. You've become such a threat to my administration that I felt the need to jump on these forums and bash you. Good thing you never thought it might be a good idea to run for president...then I might really have gotten worried.

Like you have any idea about monetary policy lol

Wanna explain what happens when 70% of your GDP is from consumer spending? What effect does that have on our future? How does that effect import/export? What happens after more and more countries stop using our currency as the basis for trade and our consumerism is at that level? Can we sustain 2/3 of our GDP in consumerism when our dollar is falling like it is? Can you answer those questions? Or will you wait for legendkiller to come in and save your ass?

I have yet to see a convincing argument as to why it should be illegal to have a competing private currency.

It would be inconvenient, annoying, etc, etc, those are not valid arguments for why it should be *illegal* but are certainly valid reasons for not wanting to use it for yourself or your businesses.

The interstate commerce clause has been used as a blank check so to speak by the government to regulate everything for far too long.

The Fed yes they are good and bad.

And just when I thought it was safe to post in a RP thread, it zooms off topic :D

Anyway, while I disagree with many of the Fed's choices, I have to admit it's one of the best systems out there, and I'd hate like hell to see congress in charge.

What other country in the modern world has two currencies? It's mainly because it adds complexity. Complexity adds cost. Cost adds friction into transactions. Friction adds confusion, time, money, and lack of transparency. Lack of transparency, ease of use, short transactions, and cheap transactions reduces investments, spending, and other transactions.

Sure, 100 years ago, or longer, it would be "ok" to have a country have several currencies. That's because everything was delinked and we didn't have as huge of an economy. Now, if we had a major competing currency, this country would instantly, overnight, lose it's position in the world.
