Ron Paul unveils a REAL stimulus plan

[LegendKiller]

What I love is that in another thread, Mavtek posts finance people who love RP, yet won't post the people that don't. I wonder who, yet again, are in the majority.

Then he goes on to say that if I cannot match those people in tenure and knowledge that I cannot possibly challenge them

Yet, somehow, he has failed to produce his CV and I highly doubt it matches mine. I guess that means he can't speak on this topic.

No, but it sure shows how much you know about a man you dislike so much.

Highly ironic considering your self-professed knowledge of finance and how badly you've been handed your ass on the topic. I may have temporarily forgot he was a lowly Congressman instead of a Senator, but at least on the issues I know my stuff.

Uhh find anywhere that I have stated I am an economist? Or even "self-professed knowledge of finance". Quote it or link it, otherwise, can it. LOL Talk about grasping for straws.

I wasn't saying you did work for Taco Bell. I was using it as an analogy.

See, the thing about a republic is that we give up our power to representatives. Americans don't vote on every single piece of legislation; we have elected officials for that. And that's brilliant, because given the intelligence of the average person, I don't want them making decisions regarding the policies of this country. I consider myself fairly intelligent, much moreso than the average American when it comes to politics, and I wouldn't trust myself to vote on a lot of things that come up because I know I'm ignorant in those areas.

Very noble of you, it takes alot of courage to state what you just did. (do not mean that sarcastically)

When you open up the private meetings of the Fed to the public, Joe Q. Sixpack won't give a rat's ass. But the media, God bless them, will jump on every little thing that happens at the meetings as indicative of whatever crisis they can spin it as. Crisis sells newspapers, crisis gets people to watch the news, crisis gets viewers, which in turn gets ad revenue. Potential investors, seeing crisis at every turn, start pulling out their money as fears of a recession grow, and suddenly the shit hits the fan as everyone pulls out and the economy collapses.

This happens already. Its nothing new. There is a reason the FED is not transparent or open for public scrutiny, they can do and say whatever they want without being held accountable. That is something I see thats bad, not good.

There are some things that simply need to be hashed out in private before they are ever made public. When you're thinking about a major decision, don't you tend to talk it over with other people before you go through with it? If I'm going to break up with my girlfriend, I'll talk to my friends first. If I'm going to quit my job, I tell my family. If I think of a potential solution to a problem at work, I float it at a meeting. If you take that away, all you'll see is a lot more closed-door meetings between various members of the Fed before the actual board meeting, so you still won't be seeing the brainstorming process. No one at the Fed is stupid enough to think that brainstorming in front of the country is a good idea.

So if we won't see it anyway as you proclaim, then why stop FED-span?

It's a bad plan.

I like your opinions even if I don't agree with them totally.

There are other methods for accountability, other methods for transparency, that don't involve putting the board meetings on display for the world.

How and/or what would you do to make this happen?

Actually if we had stuck with gold in the first place we wouldn't be in this predicament now. The printing press is in full swing, thanks to the "federal reserve" and the neocons. So don't blame the gold, blame the boobs who spend money that isn't there, or more accurately, money that isn't ours.

At this point the demand for the U.S. dollar is spiraling. Investors are moving from the dollar to other currencies to save their asses. This is not a good sign.

If we had a gold standard like system, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The government couldn't spend more than it had on hand. Yet many of you support the "credit currency". Yes fiat has brought us an economic boom, but is now poised to bite us in the ass with such viciousness it will make the stock market crash of 1929 look like a walk through the tulips.

Wakeup people!

And let's not forget your hysterical Liberty Dollar thread. Heck, I guess you've never really professed much expertise at all. You just like to talk out of your ass about subjects you have no clue about... A lot.

Aww I have garnered enough interest from you that you would search through my past threads. I am flattered

Everyone has an opinion, nothing wrong with opinions. Now you can label those opinions as "economic self-professed financial guru" if you want, but I never said that.

So you couldn't find where I called myself that eh? So you switch the argument to what? The liberty Dollar thread? LOL Keep reaching.

I think that was an interesting discussion there. You can say I "talk out of my ass" if you want, thats your opinoin, just don't be surprised if mine is different

Sadly, it seems we are getting closer and closer to a recession and the dollar continues to decline

Which idea did I not attack? The idea that the fed shouldn't be as inaccessible to the public? Or the idea of you attacking a poster because he thinks they should be more accessible? Sorry, if you don't even know what seat the man has in our government now, why would I trust that you know enough about his proposals to comment with worth? The idea that people would flip out over off the cuff remarks, or ideas, and whatnot from televised fed meetings is a little far fetched. I can't remember the last time I heard anything about the happening on televised House of Representitives sessions. In my opinion, I think they do more damage to themselves by being so secrective. It gives the wingnuts something to freak out over. Maybe televised meetings isn't teh best way to go, but there has to be a way to get an acceptable amount of exposure, and still be able to keep vital operations intact.

Of course, if he wants to televise fed meetings, wouldn't that mean that the people spamming Ron Paul threads with "ZOMG he teh crazy, he wantz to shut down the FED...o N03ZZZ!!" are wrong?

IMO, BOD & shareholder meetings are completely different things. Firsty, they are purely private enterprises. Secondly such for-profit companies have competitors etc. This is decidely information not suited for public consumption.

Charging that people will speculate on info obtained from public meetings is not persuasive to me in the least. They speculate on anything and everything as it is now. How merely extending that peculation to be better (and real economic) data is a bad thing has not been addressed and escapes me.

We already have so many types of professional "fed watchers" and "guessers" (economic forecastors) upon whom we base speculation on that I see no reasonale basis for objection on this point.

I won't address your analogies to FBI & CIA meetings, that's just too irrlevent & silly.

Fern

-snip-

You don't think the Fed has competitors? You don't think that open meetings would give away trade secrets or discussions on future moves? What about "out of the box" thinking that can be taken incorrectly?

No, no competitors in the traditional sense.

"Out of the box thinking that can be taken incorrectly?" What someone speculating and losing? How's that any different then now?

No, I don't actually think they are.

They've always fluctuated. I don't see the big deal.

The average person doesn't exchange currency.

When doing int'l biz (foreign supply or sales contracts) we generally account for that with various existing tools etc.

But as I've mentioned before, we already have a ton of economic prognosticators. It's a whole frickin profession. That's all the fed's are anyway, IMO. They can just of rates, that's the only diff I see.

People will listen to fed meeting's and try to guess what's gonna happen with interest rates. But h3lll, they do that now anyway (w/o the benefit of see the meetings though).

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA ? Newly appointed Ron Paul economic advisor, Peter Schiff, issued the following statement about Dr. Paul?s proposed comprehensive economic revitalization plan:

?We need a plan that stimulates savings and production not more of the reckless borrowing and consumption that got us into this mess in the first place. Ron Paul?s plan is the only one that amounts to a step in the right direction. If you want meaningful change - for the better that is - Ron Paul is the only candidate capable of delivering it. The others merely promise to continue the failed policies that are at the root of our current economic problems.?

Peter Schiff is president of Euro Pacific Capital Inc, and a frequent guest on CNBC, Fox News, and Bloomberg Television. He is often quoted in major financial publications and is the author of the book Crash Proof.

In the past Peter Schiff said the following of Dr. Paul: ?Ron Paul is the real deal, a true statesmen and citizen politician in the traditions envisioned by the framers of our Republic.?

Mr. Schiff is available for interviews regarding Congressman Paul?s economic policies.

So, essentially.

1. All inflation is caused by the "monetization of debt", which is funny considering the Fed only holds less than 10% of our debt.

2. Everything is going to hell.


Wow, ok. Great prognostications. He calls an asset bubble, blames it on the Fed, and thinks he is a genius.

Shit, I called an asset bubble 4 years ago, blamed it on stupid consumers and investors, and get ripped down because I am not as old or established (yet) as this guy. Wow, great.

I guess it's all a matter of what you want to believe.

 

[Mavtek3100]

So if you didn't get it the "Stimulus Plan" is essentially a mockery of the current Stimulus Plan put forth by the Government. Effectively what Ron Paul is saying is that there should be no Stimulus Plan because the government shouldn't be fucking with the economy. That's all this is in a nutshell, an out and out mocking of this Administration.

It made me chuckle.

Everything may be going to hell if we don't stop spending ourselves into oblivion.

His prognostications (guesses about market trends) were spot on, and so were yours. You will get your chance at being a known economist if your tenacity in business is anywhere near your shrewdness posting here.

That aside, I am going to delve into some economic theories and "prognostications" as you call it coming this week. Thinking of picking up his book "Crash Proof" to see what he has to say. Heres a review of the book LK, in case you don't have the time for the entire book.

Off to more neocon research

PCSurgeon: Pick up a copy of Mankiew's Macroeconomics (ISBN: 9780716752370)... i know it's not youtube video or copy&paste 'fact sheet', but it might actually give you a factual basis for the stuff youy like to talk about.


On the topic on hand,
this 'Real stimulus plan' is akin to the gems you get at Miss Universe:
"I want to end hunger and wish for world peace". Much like Paul's meet the press, it's nothing more than just a bunch of rhetoric.
