Only a socialist would be unhappy with a 0% tax rate because they'd have to depend on themselves financially. The reason why I'm voting Ron Paul is because he has the best economic solutions and does not believe in socialism. He's so intellectual and honest and I think he'd make a fantastic president.
I agreed with him on everything except healthcare and education. Everyone should be allowed to have an education. Think about it. A smarter, healthier America is a better America. I dont care how you pay for it, cutting back on the military or income tax, but come on. It just seems like common sense.
@GuitarCelloman The problem is that the majority of Republicans feel the opposite way. You want to cut military, they want to cut healthcare and education. A good compromise is to say "pay for what you want yourself". That way, nobody is forcing their way on others.
@shinsyotta well, yes, except that there are too many people that can't pay for healthcare and education by themselves. should we force them live unhealthy and uneducated lives since they cant pay for it? And Ron Paul seems to agree on cutting military (offensively) at least
@246alive before you make a comment like that, you should know your facts. you said, "all thy do is spend a trillions on wares based on lies" Ron Paul wants to get completely out of the war so what your saying makes ZERO since. And reducing money the government gets reduces the debt because more money the government gets, means more spending on useless programs, which creates more debt. know your facts man. RON PAUL 2012
@246alive also Obama actually has spent more on afghanistan, he invaded libya, we are bombing syria, yemen, and now pakistan.. bombs cost money.. it is not just one party both parties work for the same people.. Ron Paul works for the American people
@246alive I don't think you really understand his positions. Nobody else is proposing anything that would reduce the debt anywhere close to what Ron Paul is proposing. He is against preemptive wars.
if you can cut over a trillion in spending, then why wouldnt u want to raise taxes. this would create a boat load of money for the gov to invest in new technologies, worthwhile gov programs, and the intrest we pay on our debt. its simple financial analysis. not fuckin rocket science. ron paul is a joke, with support from unemployed drug addicts who want the legalization of cannabis that comes with an inherently flawed economic plan
@daddiofosho the problem is our politicians are digging into the funs. why do we need to give them more than 10 percent of our money for our politician to take and buy their nice million dollar homes and drive around their nice new gas guzzling forgien SUV's? I demand a decrease in our politicians pay checks because they haven't been handing ours very well. If this was a business, I (the owner of the business) would have fired the Supervisor of my business for stealing.
uhh you cant just cut a trillion dollars in revenue. where r u making money then, tariffs and fees. uhh no, be them sources of income they would not be enough money simple as that. if u raise tax on imports then other countries will not want to trade with us. simple as that. where the fuck are you getting money from if your not taxing the american public. dudes talking about irrelevant shit from 100 years ago. and if u argue that u can cut spending more then revenue well thats great but ---->
The early federal income tax was as low as 7%. It was increased above 70% to wage WWI and pay postwar debt, which happened again between the 1930s and 1950s

Hey Im 18 from Iowa registered voter but registered as an independent, I understand that I can change partys the night of the republican primary's. Would an iowan's know how you go about that?
@liquiddragom yes. do the research. Schools are pay for on a state level by property tax assessed by county or city. Roads are paid for by fees on vehicle registration, drivers licenses, gas taxes, etc. The income taxes ONLY pays for the interest that the federal reserve charges our government for borrowing money from them. If our government went back to cloning silver and gold for currency as it should, there'd be no income or inflation of prices. Period.
@Liquiddragom excise taxes, which are constitutional, property taxes etc. pay for infrastructure.
the income tax, which is unconstitutional as it is a direct, unapportined tax on labor, all goes INTO THE POCKETS OF PRIVATE BANKERS WHO OPERATE ABOVE THE NATION-STATES
THE FRS FIAT NOTE IS AN INSTRUMENT OF SLAVERY DESIGNED BY THE NEW WORLD ORDER
income tax is completely voluntary, it also goes to the federal reserve which is not a part of the federal governmaent, but private banking corparation. In truth, the does not recieve your income tax money, a private corp. does.
@videomakerman1232 You stop all the wasteful spending and downsize the government. End the wars and the failed federal departments like the Dept of Education and the Dept of Energy.....both epic failures. Then you end the stupid wars in the middle east and close the US military bases around the world that serve only to cause resentment toward American's around the globe. Then you put a tariff on imports to pay for the necessities. Then you end the War on Drugs another epic failure.
Obama is trying to copy the New Deal policy. However, we live in a different world than we did when Roosevelt was President. Before Roosevelt, there was no safety net in terms of government entitlements. Today, we already have the entitlements (i.e., "safety net."). So, more government spending even on domestic programs won't work. You can't just keep paying more entitlements to borrow your way out. Roosevelt's policies may have been a success then, but those policies won't help us today.

Ron Paul will FIX the economy for years to come. This is all you have to read, for god sake I hope you read it. Google this: "Abolish The Federal Reserve Act of 1913" I had no idea until I read this. I'm a college student and usauly I mind my own buisness with this stuff, but just trust me you gatta read this.
One more thing, Ron Pual is so honest, he only wants our best intrest at heart. He uses no phony charms, he's just I guy, but he knows what he's talking about.
Reminder : Many former Obama supporters are now crossing party lines to go with Ron Paul. In about 20 closed/semi closed primary states, U wont be able to vote for Ron Paul if U R a registered Dem.So change that affiliation to REPUB today ! Don;t let them cheat U out of a vote and dont let them cheat Ron Paul out of the nomination ! That will be the ONLY way he wont win - if people don't realize they have to reg. REPUB in many states to make their vote count
@davidlee110 its a progressive tax rate, most poor people pay taxes but they end up getting their tax credit due to their children or because they're poor. There are people who pay no net taxes on all tax brackets. Right now the "rich" owns most of the capital, but also pay most of the taxes. The problem lies in corporate rates, which are high but no one pays it (oh they rather pay their compliance people to manipulate their documents so they dont pay any).
The left and right media are trying to down play Ron Paul LIES!!!!!!!!!!! He is the real deal. The only person in office with a 100% constitutional voting record. Don’t believe the lies look it up yourself he has a HUGE voting base and more important still he is the ONLY candidate that wants to actually fix the problems instead of patching them. So if he doesn’t win it doesn’t matter who wins. the others are all the same.
when we give corporations breaks so they can "create jobs", time and time again they do create jobs in different countries. the US is in no position to be competitive on a global scale when it comes to production of goods. it is simple economics to move those jobs to a more monetarily effective location. cutting taxes will not create jobs in the US. it will create jobs in china and india. lets be real here for a second, cutting taxes will not help the vast majority of US citizens.
@ron126 you think that government programs don't exist that help the poor LOLLLLLL you are dumb. OR you think that government programs don't get there funding from taxes LOLLLLL you dumb. take your pick idiot.
@greycloud24 That's because the US is a toxic asset. Between the massive overseas empire and and the runaway inflation that's insured thanks to the FED, the borrowing and printing, the socialization of the losses in the markets, the entire system of Fractional Reserve Banking, and wage controls. GEEE!! No wonder companies want to get the fuck out of here....
@loeghat lol you are an idiot 0% tax is not a liberal idea lol liberals want more taxes dumbass. A true libertarian idea is 0% tax. Federal tax is unconstitutional idiot. Income tax pays for the large interests on federal reserve
@millsathn one of the things thats good about his age is that he has gained SO much experience, he is a veteran and a doctor. Lol most of the idiots running as republicans have no advanced degrees, no war experience and thats why they are war mongers
The Young Turk really doesn't understand what the collective bargaining legislation in Wisconsin did. It gave the union there monopoly power over who the state could negotiate with. Walker wanted to free the state to negotiate with others, and that was described as "trying to kill the union".
0% income tax is a great idea. The ONLY thing income tax goes toward is the paying of interest on the money that the government is loaned by the Federal Reserve (which is a PRIVATE Bank). Police, roads, etc are all payed by taxes on property, gas, excise, luxury, sales, car registration, etc. educate yourself on the way the government runs..
@erliquin86 Police come out of state tax... theres a 40 cent tax on gas for roads . We are already taxed enough.i'm tired of being single and giving my tax to fat ladies with 10 kids and child credits buying big screens
theres sewer tax ,water tax,sales tax, property tax ,rental tax it goes on and on ....Hes right get rid of all the useless fed programs and let those Fed employees get real jobs ...
@AffinityNetNews capitalism and communism are two different words for the same thing, what would be different is individualism as proposed by the forefathers. under capitalism the worker is a slave to the corporation and communism he is a slave to the state, just another fiction. lots of the same folks who own the corporation als own the pupets of the government bought and paid for
@keokuk71 fund them with a lottery like they do some many other programs. then the fools who wish can dump there money where they want it and have a chance to win a sum in a probably rigges lottery system run by criminals, but criminals of a like kind
@deficithawker there is a truth to that but where your notion fails is that it is readily apparent to the lowest common man of the society that he is moving into and therefore he can prepare himself for the cycle and protect himself and family, undere this federal reserve system it is done behind closed door with lots of misinformation so they can financially rape the working people, take thier assets both real and personal. stability is acturlly better
@girty367 hello, us states is a corporation, only two creatures exist, fictions (corporations) or live human being, competent people would do much better without government in their lives. you probaly have never known anything but communism in you life time and cannot imagine life without it. It really matters not if you call you master Mr. corporation or Government, you can either be free, or your not, plain and simple
I agree on the income tax with RP, but that's about it. I believe in a much more systems theory approach to policy rather than unproven ideology.
Take Ron's idea of essentially turning banks into 'savings & loans'... That never works. The demand for credit quickly monetarily then politically destroys such an arrangement.
He's swallowed a lot of economic doctrine that numbers or models don't back up.
Though he gets props for being somewhat objective on matters such as defence.
@CmdrTobs Credit is a function of savings, and interest is a function of credit. The less credit there is, the harder it is to get loans because interest rates go up. When interest rates are low, this sends a message to investors that savings are high and thus they take out loans to do whatever.
Ron's model can only work if there is no central bank, and if bad banks are allowed to fail. But it CAN in fact work. Actually, that's what banks were supposed to be doing to begin with.
@TheManiacalSatanist6 "Credit is a function of savings, and interest is a function of credit. The less credit there" -No that doesn't work, you'd get a liquidity crisis immediately. There is not enough cash after savings to patronise any of the investments. Never mind service any interest.
Not to mention it's all bunk as there is not enough gold in the world to service every dollar today. Ron Paul's economics appeals to simplicity, that's all. It certainly shows he was a MD.
@CmdrTobs It's a good thing that there's not enough gold to service every dollar today, because we have too many dollars. That's why we're in an inflation crisis now.The fed continues to print money out of thin air to buy bad debts and to finance political interests both here at home and abroad. The fluidity argument of fiat currency is a total fucking PHAIL. And no, you wouldn't get a liquidity crisis immediately. We're already in a liquidity crisis thanks to Fraction Reserve Banking.
@TheManiacalSatanist6 "It's a good thing that there's not enough gold to service every dollar today, because we have too many dollars" - So who are you to decide that? Dictator? If you were to divide up JUST the dollars people have in the US you'd need all the gold in the world at 10K+ a troy. So you must be in on the whole scam??? But your not, your just one of there unwitting pawns on youtube.
"We're already in a liquidity crisis"... rubbish. people/sectors are, but the economy does not.
@CmdrTobs "So who are you to decide that? Dictator?" I'm not deciding that, retard. The markets are TELLING YOU this. You're just too stupid to listen. It's called INFLATION, and it IS a problem. It's a HUGE pro- nevermind.
@TheManiacalSatanist6 "I'm not deciding that, retard. The markets are TELLING YOU this" - which was my point if you have an ounce of sense, gold is NOWHERE NEAR valued enough at market rates to soak up dollars. So in Ron Pauls gold scam you'd have to put an artificial PRICE CONTROL on gold.
"it's called INFLATION" - You Paulites prove to me every day you don't understand what inflation means.
Go read some economics/History - then come re-look at Rons views.
@CmdrTobs And you DO know what inflation is? I guess you read General Theory or some dumbed-down college textbook on Economics. Try reading a REAL treatise on economics. "Human Action: A Treatise on Economics" ~ Ludwig Von Mises is a perfect start. And where the fuck are you coming up with the idea that Ron Paul is running a Gold Scam? He voted AGAINST the debt ceiling. That's AGAINST his Gold interest, since it's inflation that pushes up the value of Gold.
@CmdrTobs And history? Let's talk about the historical FACT that the average life expectancy of a Fiat Currency with no hard-backing is 27 years. Let's talk about the historical FACT that John Law, the TRUE father of Keynesian economics, created and headed first Central Bank in France in the year 1716, and in 4 short years, almost single handedly destroyed the French monetary system.
Take your GROSSLY ill-informed Macroeconomic bullshit to someone who doesn't have 3 digits in their IQ.
@TheManiacalSatanist6 "Take your GROSSLY ill-informed Macroeconomic bullshit t...." <- There you go again. sill NOT reading.
You're the only one who's pushing ANY idea here. I'm simply refuting your 'paulonomics' bullshit, and you STILL have addressed any of the problems I've raised such as the massive lack of bullion.
All you do is respond with your tripe filled outrage "How dare you disagree with Ron Pauls ideas!" and now your randomly bring up Keynes in some sort of strawman effort.*sigh*
@CmdrTobs Ron Paul actually believes in a multiple commodity based currency system. The government as he said has expanded the currency past a pure gold standard. With more than one type of currency in the country each one would compete for dominance causing each other to keep in check. This would allow people to choose which currency they see the most sound with the least inflation...or possibly no inflation.
What many people dont see about Ron Paul, because hes one of the few Republicans in politics for ideological reasons, is that he wants a society thats basically the law of the jungle.
Poor will stay poor forever, if you ever hit hard times then you have no chance and the rich would still be all powerful because there would be no regulation to prevent them to use their money and influence to drown out other voices...
@Lobos222 change is imperative, more drastice measures than paul is addressing need be done, if people fail to respond for what is necessary the end result will be a bloody revolution, history has shown that much people need to learn from the past, neither the democrate or republican party and their regulars can solve that which they have cast, solutions are available but those who have created a system for them to steal, well, that cannot continue, we no longer have the wealth
@Lobos222 love how so many so-called PROGRESSIVES are ideological hypocrites. First of all, they believe in an economic model that's historically even older than the model they love to say is outdated (free-market capitalism), and secondly, they claim that they believe in evolution, but don't want to live in a society where evolution is the law. Adapt or die.
"We had 0% income tax rate in 1913" ....Yeah, we also had a WAY smaller economy... GDP was only 0.02% of TODAYS current gdp. Its SO asinine to compare something without relative perspective like cuckoo Paul does.
@fieldman07 thats our course the exact answer I thought I would get back. GDP actually is bad in terms of it measuring LESS than what our nation's economy really is----that is it doesnt measure intellectual and non-tangible parts of our economy---which is HUGE.
For example, if we built an aircraft carrier 50 miles long and wide only to tow it to the ocean and sink it, according to the gdp, our economy has grown, even though there has been no benefit to the economy.
Even experts who are GDP supporters will admit that it does not measure the growth of an economy completely accurately since it may count misallocation of resources as a boon to the economy.
@fieldman07 Ya cuz u know thats all the government does right? Build carriers then sink em? Look, im not saying gov spending/everything included in the GDP is legit----but most of it is...If you didnt know, USA accounts for 25% of the entire world’s production....Thats huge, nothing fake there.
And just to counter ur point, just like I said....Just like there is 'fake and added' stuff to the GDP there is "real and unaccounted" stuff in there as well
@fieldman07 you are so on the money gdp is a worthless figure as is gross income, in the latter only net income has meaning, on the former only increase in value of assets existing at the close of the year are significant. without the misinformation posted by this government foreign investors and all others would have been informed properly of the upcoming disaster
@fieldman07 Yeah, I agree... though I am scared now because the last American I heard say GDP isn't everything went on to use house size and how much people waste as a metric. He essentially deducted because the average American lives in a bigger house and wastes more of every natural resource they were significantly richer. :-S I thought.
@CmdrTobs quality of life has taken a dramatic loss, two people work to make ends meet, most rent their house from the bank and government. 1950's were considerably more properous. because a household has an additional car to get the wife to slave, that iis no more an improvement to their life than a new pitchfork provided the slave in the pre civil war era
@goldenshots But our GDP is also grossly inflated. Take the unemployment rate for instance. The government says it's like 9-10% or something like that, but the only people who are counted in this statistic are the people who list themselves as SEEKING EMPLOYMENT. If you count the part time unemployment, it's 17%. But if you take the free-market approach and count everyone who's unemployed both fully and partially, not including the disabled, the unemployment is well over 20%.
RON PAUL, WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER! TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE HOW EXACTLY RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? OK LETS SAY ALL TROOPS CAME BACK AND THEN WHAT? THEY ARE GOING TO SELL IPHONES AND BLACKBERRIES? DUDE BE A MEN, HOW RU GOING TO CREATE JOBS? POPULATION OF CHINA IS 1.4 B CHINESE WORK LIKE ROBOTS, BE HONEST TELL AMERICAN PEOPLE TO BUY UR BOOK U NEED CASH , U LOVE POWER, U LOVE CASH, U WILL NEVER CREATE JOBS, U HAVE NO ANSWER!
This guy needs a dose of reality. Germany, England, France, etc, and all the industralized countries have income tax. Even the asia's gigantic enonomies, Japan and China, have income tax.
What idiot thought this Cenk guy could hack it in cable news.
Definitely not as rabid here as he is on his Young Jerks show which should really just be called, ''That annoying channel with 50k annoying high-brow videos with a fake radio show atmosphere That you may just possibly click on accidentally, and exit out of within twenty seconds. .''
so heres my question to all you politically savvy youtubers. what do you think big corporations will do with all that extra money with the income tax rate at 0? ill tell you what will happen if you gimme your answers
cenk, like all the americans, loves dr paul. christ, who wouldn't? but liberals have to look "tough" on republicans so cenk has to act it. pay attention: cenk is asking all the questions that dr paul wants to answer and also giving him a plenty of time to answer them. dr paul gets that treatment from everybody because he says what we all want to hear and we all know he can deliver!
@dogfight156 Speak for yourself. RP's a loon whose ideas r untenable in the real world. Nobody wants excess gov't, but he wants to dismantle even regulatory agencies. Sure, let the free market handle food & drug safety. Corps already have the upper hand. Under RP they'd have free reign. He wants to eliminate the dept of ed, as if nat'l standards for education are a bad thing. We have a hard enuff time now. States should teach whatever they want? Let TX teach religion as science? That'd b great.
@YoungnRomantic He may say a lot (two words) of things that are true. That doesn't mean his solutions and proposals for gov't are sensible or workable. As I said in my earlier post, he wants to do away with many of the gov't agencies that protect the public. Also, I don't believe his economic policies, such as those regarding taxation, etc have proven to be viable.
@fretbuzz59 He says way more than 2 words. WHat he's talking about is changing the state back to what it was intended to be and that' small. I'm all for that. What has the FDA, dept of Energy, among other useless departments in government done ? Nothing.
@YoungnRomantic No, I meant that "a lot" is 2 words; not "alot." (Amazing how many people don't know basic English these days.) However imperfect they may be, if you think agencies like the FDA do nothing to protect the public, & that we'd be better off without them you're as wacky as Dr. Paul. You willing to leave food and drug safety up to the "free market"?
@fretbuzz59 I do understand English and I'm veru intelligent. The FDA does nothing but allow posionous chemicals in our food and water that makes Americans fat and overweight in addition to not punishing these fascist corporations get away with these unsafe drugs killing people in addition to suppressing natural remedies sio they can profit from people's deaths. I say get rid of big brother.
@YoungnRomantic I agree w/some of what you say. In previous post I said that these agencies aren't perfect. But things would surely be worse w/out any gov't oversight. As it is now, companies weigh cost of fixing products against possible lawsuits that may arise b/c of safety defects. Using the term big bro is inaccurate. Big bro monitors citizens on behalf of gov't. These agencies work on behalf of citizens. I'll take that sort of big bro over big business any day, whose only motive is profit
@fretbuzz59 Big Brothewr is funded by the big business that u seem to favor. They're not seperate, they are the same people. I don't trust them at all.
@fretbuzz59 It would be to your advantage to look up ,DANGERS of fluoride, CODEX EVIL: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO. You will be shocked at what is going on in this country and what they are doing to us and our food supply.
@fretbuzz59 probably wouldn t make much difference, locally government does building inspection, the inspectors don t know a fraction of what the repairman knows, all they do is interfere with progress, with inside information of the funciton of government it has no benefit at all. just think of all the comercials you see on drug lawsuits, every one was fda approved, go figure
@chris532008 Not saying things can't be better, but they'd surely be worse w/ no standards to meet. And yes, certainly questionable drugs get FDA approval. But just as money is the motivation to develop new drugs, it's also a motivation for lawsuits, worthy or not.
@fretbuzz59 they reallly wouldn t , most of those drugs are of minimal value anyway, government has you buffalowed into believing in the boggy man. people lived to a long age long before those miracle(ha) drugs hit the market, as far as food look at the recalls on meat, just don t eat meat, you know its bad for you anyway. if the idea is that you wish to have the government protect you from your bad habits, you could cerainly hire some side kick to do for yourself
@chris532008 Much conjecture on ur part. I don't want gov't to protect me from myself. But I want things I consume 2 b safe. Even w/gov regs corps make decisions based on what's cheaper: fix a product defect or settle potential suits. We can discuss efficacy of individual drugs. But it's silly 2 suggest med science hasn't improved quality & length of life. For u, gov't is the boogeyman. I don't have absolute faith in gov't but I trust it more than a biz whose profit might conflict w/my safety.
@fretbuzz59 fact of the matter is that longevity is not increasing because of fda approved drugs, jack lalane didn t live to 97 from their approved drugs. each generation in my family and other I know are losing about 5 years per generaation. what you don t do yourself will not get done. side effects of these desiner drugs are more often more damaging the the illness
@chris532008 I'll be sure to tell my friend's 21-yr-old who developed lymphoma at 18 that modern drugs didn't save his life. All treatments have risks that you must balance against the condition or ailment. And yes, the gov't approved water fluoridation, which I thank, in part, for my good teeth.
@fretbuzz59 update me in 29 years on that lymphoma drug outcome then you can brag about it, if you brushed you teeth you would do better than drinking a carcinogen. study on the effects of what you consume and how you use it
@chris532008 If he has trouble in 29 yrs, his family will have been happy to have seen him reach 50, instead of dying at 19. There may be problems w/fluoride. But your broad and nonsensical dismissal of modern drugs, and your haphazard distrust of gov't don't make you a credible messenger.
@YoungnRomantic I saw what you wrote about the FDA,you are so right. Have you seen CODEX: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO? PLEASE,If you haven't seen it yet,you need to. MY GOSH, The people in this country just don't even have a clue what is going on. RON PAUL fights against what they are doing to our food.
@vic4rp I have heard of it but I haven't seen it. Americans are lost period on lot of things but I do see ur point. I love people who are awake and can think for themselves.
@fretbuzz59 This is true but tbh you'd never know for sure unless he became president and we let him do his job imo. And to be frank with you everyone else has done a shit job as it is anyway, we've hit the debt ceiling and are on the verge of an economic collapse so what are you proposing here? because "go with what works" is obviously not working.

Only a socialist would be unhappy with a 0% tax rate because they'd have to depend on themselves financially. The reason why I'm voting Ron Paul is because he has the best economic solutions and does not believe in socialism. He's so intellectual and honest and I think he'd make a fantastic president.

@liquiddragom yes. do the research. Schools are pay for on a state level by property tax assessed by county or city.

If our government went back to cloning silver and gold for currency as it should, there'd be no income or inflation of prices. Period.

Obama is trying to copy the New Deal policy. However, we live in a different world than we did when Roosevelt was President. Before Roosevelt, there was no safety net in terms of government entitlements. Today, we already have the entitlements (i.e., "safety net."). So, more government spending even on domestic programs won't work. You can't just keep paying more entitlements to borrow your way out. Roosevelt's policies may have been a success then, but those policies won't help us today.

when we give corporations breaks so they can "create jobs", time and time again they do create jobs in different countries. the US is in no position to be competitive on a global scale when it comes to production of goods. it is simple economics to move those jobs to a more monetarily effective location. cutting taxes will not create jobs in the US. it will create jobs in china and india. lets be real here for a second, cutting taxes will not help the vast majority of US citizens.

I agree on the income tax with RP, but that's about it. I believe in a much more systems theory approach to policy rather than unproven ideology.
Take Ron's idea of essentially turning banks into 'savings & loans'... That never works. The demand for credit quickly monetarily then politically destroys such an arrangement.
He's swallowed a lot of economic doctrine that numbers or models don't back up.
Though he gets props for being somewhat objective on matters such as defence.
CmdrTobs 6 months ago
@CmdrTobs Credit is a function of savings, and interest is a function of credit. The less credit there is, the harder it is to get loans because interest rates go up. When interest rates are low, this sends a message to investors that savings are high and thus they take out loans to do whatever.
Ron's model can only work if there is no central bank, and if bad banks are allowed to fail. But it CAN in fact work. Actually, that's what banks were supposed to be doing to begin with.
TheManiacalSatanist6 6 months ago
@TheManiacalSatanist6 "Credit is a function of savings, and interest is a function of credit. The less credit there" -No that doesn't work, you'd get a liquidity crisis immediately. There is not enough cash after savings to patronise any of the investments. Never mind service any interest.
Not to mention it's all bunk as there is not enough gold in the world to service every dollar today. Ron Paul's economics appeals to simplicity, that's all. It certainly shows he was a MD.

@CmdrTobs It's a good thing that there's not enough gold to service every dollar today, because we have too many dollars.

That didn't address the original point.
For example, if we built an aircraft carrier 50 miles long and wide only to tow it to the ocean and sink it, according to the gdp, our economy has grown, even though there has been no benefit to the economy.
Even experts who are GDP supporters will admit that it does not measure the growth of an economy completely accurately since it may count misallocation of resources as a boon to the economy.

chris532008 6 months ago
@goldenshots But our GDP is also grossly inflated. Take the unemployment rate for instance. The government says it's like 9-10% or something like that, but the only people who are counted in this statistic are the people who list themselves as SEEKING EMPLOYMENT. If you count the part time unemployment, it's 17%. But if you take the free-market approach and count everyone who's unemployed both fully and partially, not including the disabled, the unemployment is well over 20%.

cenk, like all the americans, loves dr paul. christ, who wouldn't? but liberals have to look "tough" on republicans so cenk has to act it. pay attention: cenk is asking all the questions that dr paul wants to answer and also giving him a plenty of time to answer them. dr paul gets that treatment from everybody because he says what we all want to hear and we all know he can deliver!

@dogfight156 Speak for yourself. RP's a loon whose ideas r untenable in the real world. Nobody wants excess gov't, but he wants to dismantle even regulatory agencies. Sure, let the free market handle food & drug safety. Corps already have the upper hand. Under RP they'd have free reign. He wants to eliminate the dept of ed, as if nat'l standards for education are a bad thing. We have a hard enuff time now. States should teach whatever they want? Let TX teach religion as science? That'd b great.

@fretbuzz59 I agree with alot of what he says because its true.

@YoungnRomantic He may say a lot (two words) of things that are true. That doesn't mean his solutions and proposals for gov't are sensible or workable. As I said in my earlier post, he wants to do away with many of the gov't agencies that protect the public. Also, I don't believe his economic policies, such as those regarding taxation, etc have proven to be viable.
fretbuzz59 7 months ago
@fretbuzz59 He says way more than 2 words. WHat he's talking about is changing the state back to what it was intended to be and that' small. I'm all for that. What has the FDA, dept of Energy, among other useless departments in government done ? Nothing.

@YoungnRomantic No, I meant that "a lot" is 2 words; not "alot." (Amazing how many people don't know basic English these days.) However imperfect they may be, if you think agencies like the FDA do nothing to protect the public, & that we'd be better off without them you're as wacky as Dr. Paul. You willing to leave food and drug safety up to the "free market"?

@fretbuzz59 I do understand English and I'm veru intelligent. The FDA does nothing but allow posionous chemicals in our food and water that makes Americans fat and overweight in addition to not punishing these fascist corporations get away with these unsafe drugs killing people in addition to suppressing natural remedies sio they can profit from people's deaths. I say get rid of big brother.

@YoungnRomantic I agree w/some of what you say. In previous post I said that these agencies aren't perfect. But things would surely be worse w/out any gov't oversight. As it is now, companies weigh cost of fixing products against possible lawsuits that may arise b/c of safety defects. Using the term big bro is inaccurate. Big bro monitors citizens on behalf of gov't. These agencies work on behalf of citizens. I'll take that sort of big bro over big business any day, whose only motive is profit

@fretbuzz59 Big Brothewr is funded by the big business that u seem to favor. They're not seperate, they are the same people. I don't trust them at all.

@fretbuzz59 It would be to your advantage to look up ,DANGERS of fluoride, CODEX EVIL: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO. You will be shocked at what is going on in this country and what they are doing to us and our food supply.

@vic4rp And you think things would be better if we gutted the FDA, etc, and had no regulatory agencies?
fretbuzz59 7 months ago
@fretbuzz59 probably wouldn t make much difference, locally government does building inspection, the inspectors don t know a fraction of what the repairman knows, all they do is interfere with progress, with inside information of the funciton of government it has no benefit at all. just think of all the comercials you see on drug lawsuits, every one was fda approved, go figure
chris532008 6 months ago
@chris532008 Not saying things can't be better, but they'd surely be worse w/ no standards to meet. And yes, certainly questionable drugs get FDA approval. But just as money is the motivation to develop new drugs, it's also a motivation for lawsuits, worthy or not.

@fretbuzz59 they reallly wouldn t , most of those drugs are of minimal value anyway, government has you buffalowed into believing in the boggy man. people lived to a long age long before those miracle(ha) drugs hit the market, as far as food look at the recalls on meat, just don t eat meat, you know its bad for you anyway. if the idea is that you wish to have the government protect you from your bad habits, you could cerainly hire some side kick to do for yourself
chris532008 6 months ago
@chris532008 Much conjecture on ur part. I don't want gov't to protect me from myself. But I want things I consume 2 b safe. Even w/gov regs corps make decisions based on what's cheaper: fix a product defect or settle potential suits. We can discuss efficacy of individual drugs. But it's silly 2 suggest med science hasn't improved quality & length of life. For u, gov't is the boogeyman. I don't have absolute faith in gov't but I trust it more than a biz whose profit might conflict w/my safety.

@fretbuzz59 fact of the matter is that longevity is not increasing because of fda approved drugs, jack lalane didn t live to 97 from their approved drugs. each generation in my family and other I know are losing about 5 years per generaation. what you don t do yourself will not get done. side effects of these desiner drugs are more often more damaging the the illness

@chris532008 I'll be sure to tell my friend's 21-yr-old who developed lymphoma at 18 that modern drugs didn't save his life. All treatments have risks that you must balance against the condition or ailment. And yes, the gov't approved water fluoridation, which I thank, in part, for my good teeth.
fretbuzz59 6 months ago
@fretbuzz59 update me in 29 years on that lymphoma drug outcome then you can brag about it, if you brushed you teeth you would do better than drinking a carcinogen. study on the effects of what you consume and how you use it
chris532008 6 months ago
@chris532008 If he has trouble in 29 yrs, his family will have been happy to have seen him reach 50, instead of dying at 19. There may be problems w/fluoride. But your broad and nonsensical dismissal of modern drugs, and your haphazard distrust of gov't don't make you a credible messenger.

@YoungnRomantic I saw what you wrote about the FDA,you are so right. Have you seen CODEX: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO? PLEASE,If you haven't seen it yet,you need to. MY GOSH, The people in this country just don't even have a clue what is going on. RON PAUL fights against what they are doing to our food.

the United States is the main and possibly the worsts
chris532008 6 months ago
@fretbuzz59 This is true but tbh you'd never know for sure unless he became president and we let him do his job imo. And to be frank with you everyone else has done a shit job as it is anyway, we've hit the debt ceiling and are on the verge of an economic collapse so what are you proposing here? because "go with what works" is obviously not working.
