@johnsammyanfal. First of all it was South Carolina. Ron Paul wasn't going to win there because he is for cutting military spending. There are so many military jobs there that of course they wouldn't vote for him. There is a point to knowing history and it is so that you do not repeat the same mistakes. When we're all poor enough, you'll understand.
[woman]"'Educate', please, this panel of experts here - and I say that with quotes around it - about why this sort of throwing money at the issue and bailing bailing bailng out may be potentially reckless and damaging for the future of this nation's economy?"
I study psychology here in germany,and you know,libertarians have without the shadow of a doubt higher self esteem than your average socialist/collectivist.
The more you increase your self esteem the more you tend towards libertarianism
High self esteem means also respecting yourself,witch as a result makes you respect others more.
Man of integrity like ron paul have high self esteem(integrity is a symptom/sign of self esteem and self respect)
Ron got his saggy-ass kicked out of the great state of North Carolina for talking this drivel - lets hope he's learnt something. Save us the history lesson; nobody believes in unregulated markets anymore - the real cause of the problem. Big government is here to stay - its the new American way! The USA will keep spending to project its power abroad and ofset inequalities and insecurities at home. "Libertarians" ...just finish your college courses....
The problem is rents are to high and inflation cuts into new business. Corporations over pay on rents and create deficits at small local outlets. The money payed on rents then gets reinvested in corporations so they end up in their own big loop where workers (majority of population) do not get their fair share of wealth, and the majority of wealth in circulation does not get invested in efficient business
To solve this we need deflation and new business created out of workers wages.
i really love how they keep interupting him trying to throw him off his game .... seriously .... media needs to give there head a shake .... oh wait we are outa time .... oh wait ... one more quick question ... WTF is that????
The problem is people want an easy, quick instantaneous no mess fix.
There isn't one. Why? The mess is too big. hell, the mess is SO big that I fear even Ron Paul may not be able to clean it all up. It's horrific how we got so far down the rabbit hole. Getting back out will NOT be easy, and there will be some serious and necessary changes required. As Ron Paul says, the government infusing money into an industry is buying bad assets. How is that good? It's short-term good long-term bad.
Ron Paul is obviously a Statist, he's playing the game. But I would love to hear his real opinions on Anarchism. It seems there's an Anarchist hint to his attitude, but I wonder if that's just hearing what I want to hear.
ron paul was much more knowlegeable than the msnbc people on this topic, but the one guy with the last question had a really good point. if going into double digit unemployment was what it took to make the economy better, great but in reality if the american people have a president who has a plan for the future that involves a number of years of much worse, they're not going to accept it. paul may be right, but as president that just wouldn't be a wise political move.
@gmetsz and as benjamin franklin said. "they that would give up liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety". You have to be willing to make a big sacrifice for true freedom. Freedom doesn't come free. it comes down to personal sacrifice and responsibilty. if you can't accept neither, then you settle for slavery.
@gmetsz You're right. I guess they don't believe that a HANDS OFF approach works. If there is a problem, they feel compelled to do something. And not to do NOTHING. Which is what pure Free Market demands from Government. TO DO NOTHING. Also, politicians like to claim credit for "creating billions of new jobs". To do nothing and let the free market work would mean that they can't brag about any positives happening, yet alone the negatives.
The Hebrews of the bible were rh neg blood n the only seafaring people with rh neg blood(a basque biotype) were the BASQUES so u know who really are the basques.I want u to debunk this LOL The Basques(original europeans and original white people,holy people as they have Jesus bloodline) colonized the world n schooled humanity but the "jews"(edomites) dont want u to know this.Btw languages are made-up out of the oldest and original language of mankind:Basque.
lol people accept the hair loss and everything that comes about from chemo therapy, because that's the current fix to the problem. a little more unemployment is well worth saving the dollar from becoming what the deutsche mark became after wwi.
@DeanCU He's actually before his time lol. His theories have worked ex- gold standard, free market, peace, no central bank. The founders would vote for Ron Paul. At least Jefferson would.
you cannot reach ppl that do not understand the baseline problems of this country well that and unfortunately a lot of ppl are kinda uneducated on American politics's.We really need ron paul to fix a lot of this.
The Iowa caucus should of been Ron Paul 1st place, but no instead Romney Got it. Spread the word about Ron Paul people. There are people in this world who are going to do everything in their power to keep their power, and we need to get these corrupt fucks out of office. Ron Paul 2012.
5:36 «I am extremely limited and did not understand 90% of our conversation». Just fucking resign from a job that needs basic knowledge and get back to high school and this time...LISTEN.
These people are just plain morons. She says the conversation keeps moving backwards, that's because you fucktards don't understand that ALL the problems are caused by the same thing, the way the government spends/makes/controls money. Ron Paul kept repeating it cuz that is the solution, you blithering idiots.
@oproski I completely agree with you, I feel terrible for Ron Paul, because he has to deal with these "blithering idiots" all the time. America has done a fine job in "dumbing down" and brainwashing its society. (No disrespect to you or anyone else who is American here, and if you are American, as a Canadian, its very refreshing to see that there are still some sensible and intelligent Americans out there).
@oproski I have a feeling a lot of it has to do with the dumbed down part of the population not being able to keep up. Basically, all our fast food eaters and the people who weren't breast fed as infants; which if you didn't know, if an infant receives milk in a formula, which the govt supports, the child's brain will shrink 20-30 percent. They're keeping the blind blind people.
lol, I also had a 'duh, are the panel full of ear wax or something' while watching the clip. Its like you could tell them gravity goes down and they'd still be like 'wow, i so confused, did you say gravity went left or right?'
Ugh, everything this guy says is so naive... He has a superficial understanding of so many modern world problems and his answer is always, "Lets just throw out the baby with the bath water". I am sorry, this is not my candidate lol.
They like to act like they are asking a sincere question, but it is obvious that they don't care about, and really don't want to hear his answer. If they did they would give Dr. Paul a chance to make an uninterrupted and complete answer. Ron Paul is the only candidate with an answer to the problem, the rest obviously don't have a clue and merely parrot the old solutions that are only making the problems worse, which the totally controlled media has been promoting as "everybody knows.,,,"
@Skyhawk7040 Yep!! What people don't realize is that Democrats love Ron Paul. In fact, if he came over to our party, we'll easily vote him in. Unfortunately we are stuck with Obama. I used to defend him (even when I was the only one supporting him in the room with friends) But after he signed that Defense Bill, I completely lost faith in him.
@bollocks2who Ron Paul can be considered an "Old Skool" democrat, back when they believed in small local government system. I have a lot of respect for Democrats, however, more of them need to understand that there is a BIG ideological difference between a JFK and Obama. 50 years ago democrats were all about "ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country." - Today it seems that Obama's message is the polar opposite. There is hope for us Dem or Rep - Ron Paul 2012
@colinjrob1 they found fault becuase they are told to do so, they make it seem his ideas are crazy yet no other person nor the president has a better answer, msnbc and fox are both gov controlled now and they dont have minds of their own.
8:06 - 8:20 This is how a free market is supposed to be.....It's very simple, Vote for Ron Paul, and America will be the best country in the world, a superpower that will also be an example for the rest of the world. Vote for anyone buy Ron Paul, including Obama and WWIII will happen and your kids will die either from the war or from the post war depression....
The Israelis have managed to subvert America's electoral process recently. An Israeli defense firm has now been granted sole authority to tally ALL of the votes from the Iowa Caucus. Why would they insist upon this, and WHY would Iowa even allow it? Where is our FEC on this issue, and their collective silence? Search Elron-Voxeo for more info.
these people are complete idiots. at least joe admits its above his head. but that other guy saying he wants robots serving him drinks is a complete idiot. how do we move forward? he just told you!! liquidate debt, let these companies fail, stop inflating the currency, cut spending. its not that hard to understand.
A couple years or so after GM got bailed out they had commercials saying "we've paid back the government loans and interest early", even though all they did was replace the government loans with other private loans, so why couldn't they have done that to begin with.
Well at least she tells the truth @9:35 : "Okay... I'm just not sure we're ready to accept that"... Go ahead, keep your head in the sand, one day you will be ready. And on that day when you wake up, you'll realize Paul was right.
Thank God we have him! He has been telling the truth for years and years, it is time we listen! He nails it.. Symptoms not cause!! Time to take care of our Cause!
Read your history, folks. This boom/bust cycle of our economy will not improve using old thinking. Who benefits in the current situation is not the middle class. Dr. Paul is not a Utopian dreamer. He is more grounded in reality than any of those who would pile on. It is the commentators/reporters (sic) that are dreaming. And at the center of all of this is our hegemony. The US still suffers from manifest destiny. We think we deserve to rule the world.
I don't think those people were idiots at all, they were letting him speak and trying to find a common ground of understanding. They were much better than any other host I have seen.
A vote for Dr. Paul is a vote for yourself. He wants to limit gov intrusiveness in our lives & allow US to make our own choices. Stop politicians & the elites from thinking that they’re so smart that they know how to run our lives better than we do. He is one of the few politicians that will make difficult decisions, he will balance the budget by his 2rd year, while most politicians plan to balance the budget after their term is over
In the beginning around 1:23 the lady host says "okay okay" in such a tone as if she disagrees and thinks what he said was wrong. Later in the video as he is educating these morons around 4:00 she says, "mhm" agreeing to his thoughts. Again around 5:30 she agrees and had a orgasm. Then at the end she falls off track again. Ron Paul 2012 - his lifetime.
wow..... they ask him like 10 times what he would do to fix the country and he clearly says that he'd cut oversea spending and bad investments and audit the federal reserve, and its like they dont understand what hes saying! they just turn around and go "i'd still like to know how he plans to fix this countrys problems!"........................ Fucking RETARDS.
@xxdomoxxkunxx He can't because to pass any legislation it has to go through the congress and the senate. Although IF he did in fact become president he would have a strong influence over the congress and the senate, he still would not be able to convince them on such radical change. Study basic politics then get back to me. Presidents promise the moon all the time,once there in office its another story.
@Malcom123X but if he becomes president he could influnce not only the senate and congress, but open the minds of the people, and they would vote in more respected people to make better decisions. besides alot of the things he wants to end were illegal to begin with, cant end something illegal? bullshit
why are you so anti ron paul? look at the other dipshits running
@Malcom123X As president he has a LOT of power and a lot of influence, and thats exactly why we would vote for someone like Ron Paul, just because there is a chance the country might not change radically or he might not be able to do any of that, doesn't mean he's not someone you should vote for, that logic in itself is retarded man.
@Felderos No whats retarded is taking a candidate seriously who is promising things he can't actually do Ron Paul makes a lot of ridiculous promises that wouldn't even get mentioned in Congress let alone passed. Please educate yourself a bit more. He can't end the fed,legalize drugs or end welfare programs. The latter being a ridiculously non-humanistic policy anyways, that would never pass through either house of representatives.
@Malcom123X Well, if you know his positions, he really wants to audit the fed and make silver and gold as competition to the dollar. He knows he can't just drop the Fed, even though technically he could because the Constitution is the law of the land. Also, he doesn't want to drop welfare competely, he wants to limit it and phase it out. If we were rich, we could afford it and keep it. Legalizing drugs is false. He wants the Federal Govt out of drugs, not the states.
@Rumblingsauce on the drugs he wants the states to treat it like alcohol, that means you can make your own as long as you dont sell it. it would also mean the states cant ban it only tax the hell out of it.
The constructive way forward is to end your thinking that you deserve to be served drinks on the beach by robots...what you deserve is to be able to work hard and spend your money on things that have value, not to work as little as you can while saving all your money to spend on these things that have no value. If you want to have drinks on the beach then move to the beach and pour yourself one, but you sure as hell better get some work done while youre there!
At 5:33 the newscaster says that the conversation is way above his head. However, Ron Paul explained everything logically using plain English peppered with interesting analogies. So why do these newscasters, reporters, and journalists have such influential jobs when they are so unable to understand? They're just as dumb as the rocks in my back yard!
@jscottupton Lol they took college economics. Ron Paul is teaching them his own very long life experience and knowledge which is better than junk education today.
"Humiliates" is hardly the word, and besides, Ron Paul doesn't impress me as the type of person to go around humiliating others. And Dylan Ratigan is hardly a statist.
I find it interesting that Dr. Ron made such strong logical arguments that they had to concede. Then they started to ask "well, HOW do we get there?" By asking this question they have conceded the argument and now they're trying to argue against effect, not against the actual premise. I don't think they realize that they implicitly agreed with Dr. Ron. They are brainwashed and have major blinders on.
This may be the interview that planted the seed for Dylan Ratigan to make that rant a few months ago and basically lean more Austrian and Libertarian.
PEOPLE NEED TO SWITCH PARTIES 12 WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF THE PRIMARIES IN MOST STATES.
IF YOU DO NOT SWITCH IN TIME YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED REPUBLICAN YOU CANNOT VOTE IN PRIMARY.
IF RON PAUL DOES NOT WIN PRIMARY, NO GENERAL ELECTION ! REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. FIND OUT WHEN YOUR STATE HAS PRIMARIES. FIND OUT WHERE AND VOTE VOTE VOTE ! PLEASE !
WE NEED EVERY LAST VOTE ! Copy & paste this everywhere and THUMBS UP!
The panel continues to ask Ron Paul what politicians should DO, and Ron Paul keeps telling them that politicians have to UNDO what they've DONE. The panel never seems to grasp that sometimes DOING NOTHING is the best thing to DO.
Its painfully funny that members of the cult of RP actually think he offered anything other then standard rhetoric here; "Point out obvious flaws & corruption....offer no REAL world solutions*"
...oh yeah, "& bitch about how no one takes you seriously"
(*save "ending useless wars" which is not exactly controversial...just impossible to do until you convince a wide majority of Americans that fear-mongering is destructive; good luck with that)
@Hopeful71 I've heard more "real solutions" from Ron Paul than I have from either Obama or the other GOP candidates. Why don't you argue with facts from your man/woman before blasting those who support Ron Paul. At least Ron Paul supporters are willing to fight for serious and real change.
gotta say, he may have more understanding of the structure of these problems... but he continues to not answer their question, given what the state of things *are* today, how do you proceed to create a healthy situation. every time he's asked that he continues to describe the problem, and that's a little scary. I really want to vote for ron paul, but I am not seeing a plan to move towards that healthy situation whilst not totally screwing people in the process.
@nbeckster1 He says the way to move forward is to liquidate the bad debts. Debt is the weight hanging around our necks. This is what our founding fathers understood and had learned from monetary history about banks and fiat money; therefore they wrote "only gold and silver"
@TheJfranco9 We are trying, but our government machine is strong and fueled by money. If Ron Paul is not elected, we will have an Iranian / NATO war. Even Obama is trying to go to war with Iran.
@TheJfranco9 He's not going to win. Don't get me wrong...I love him soo much! As do many others. See, the problem is that Americans (we) are so short sighted. We'd rather vote the guy that is popular than the guy trying to save us. By sometime this year, we will probably go to war with Iran and our economy will come crashing down!!
Too early for his time, and too honest for the system of his country. If he was a little bit younger (he was pretty good looking when he was young), he'd be elected like that *snaps finger*.
I gathered from this that Ron Paul is saying that printing more money to fix the debt is like adding water into a glass that's already overflowed. The water will have no value. The glass is the companies and bureaucrats who hold the water. What he wants to do is make the glass pour into other glasses (the rest of us) instead.
One last thing, From 2000 to 2009 the US GDP rose from 9951.50 to 14,258.20 in 2009. So by your reasoning the recession here in America is coming to an end? .
@bevil4aday Well, actually, had we not had a double dip then it probably would have signalled just that. However, we also have to take into account exports, employment statistics, life style, net average income, etc. These have not begun recovering, while they did begin to after 1933.
@cis4aber My point about the reinvestment in gold from foreign countries into US industry was a means of prepare America to be the world war machine. Since 1941 American soldiers have been stationed on over 700 bases throughout the world policing other nations and protecting the CIA drug trade.
The point is, other nations HAD gold to invest in 38 and do not today, China is buying our DEBT, not invest in our industry in gold. That would make a HUGE difference in employment numbers.
I think Ron needs to hit the history books. The great depression was not turned from recession into depression because of government intervention. In fact the reverse is true. Hoover's administration actually took a relatively Laissez Faire approach in the worry that intervention would make the situation worse. The situation only improved, with production increasing and unemployment decreasing, when government intervention did seriously occur from 1933 on.
@cis4aber Ummmm, what about the recession of 37? Even Wikipedia states that the work FDR did in 33 (New Deal) was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 35. FDR then set in motion the Second New Deal that lead to the 37 recession. FDR's intervention lead to prolonging the Depression more so than eliminating it. If were not for WWII the US may not have recovered at all.
@bevil4aday Even the second dip of 1937 did not see production rates dip below their 1933 lows. And, of course, Keyneseyan economists would point out that the cause of the 1937 dip was because FDR continued to try to balance the budget, and withdrew essencial funds, rather than stay the course. And, if as you say, FDR's policy extended the recession, why did the three years of inactivity, under Hoover, not end the recession? Why did it become a depression at all?
@bevil4aday To expand, the GDP in 1933 was 56.2 (billion). In 1937 it was 91.9 and in 1938 it was 86.1 and in 1939 it rose to 92.2. The highest point since 1930. Between 1933 and 1939 exports also doubled. Similarly, unemployment drastically decreased from a high of around 25% in 1933 to around 14.6% by 1940. So I think we can dispense with the myth that FDRs policies had no effect or actually extended the depression.
@cis4aber From wikipedia "According to Christina Romer, the money supply growth caused by huge international gold inflows was a crucial source of the recovery of the United States economy, and that the economy showed little sign of self-correction" This was in 1938. It took foreign investing into American industries that ultimately lead to slow recovery. Foreign investing into industry.... why would foreign investors take interest in American industry in 38? I have my own ideas.
@bevil4aday As I noted to Boredperson55, opinion is, of course, divided. To also quote wikipedia:
"British economist John Maynard Keynes argued in General Theory of Employment Interest and Money that lower aggregate expenditures in the economy contributed to a massive decline in income and to employment that was well below the average. In such a situation, the economy reached equilibrium at low levels of economic activity and high unemployment."
@Boredpersons55 An interesting take, but not on,e which I feel is actually supported by Hoover's policy towards the crisis. If we look at federal investment into the economy we see direct correlation between investment and limited economic growth (in fact we see decline). While after 1933 we see increasing borrowing, direct intervention, increasing GDP and reduced levels of unemployment - culminating in the Second World War which saw a true application of a Keynesyan model.
A group of UCLA economics actually studied Depression era economics and found that the recovery was impeded by FDR's New Deal, (and New, New deal), by as much as seven years, unfortunately I cannot post a link.
Unemployment is sure to drop if you force half of the population to war. The USSR also saw low unemployment, but that was due more to forcing people to work.
@Boredpersons55 I have no doubt you can indeed find teams of economists suggesting that FDR extended the depression, similarly I can point out historians and economists who take a radically different perspective, such as the famed economist Richard Musgrave. Regarding your point on the draft, thet was not introduced until 1940; so your point is anachronistic.
This is true. The boost in GDP indicates an increase in government spending, (which, no doubt, there would have been due to the New Deal). A depression can still occur when GDP increases.
Ah! the classic debate between the Keynesian School, and the Austrian School!
@Boredpersons55 Certainly it can, as you point out above. However, we must also consider reducing unemployment, rising exports and consumer and buisness spending. All of which rose during the 1930s under FDR and all of which decreased under Hoover. We are, after all, talking about net economic growth and oft forgotten living standards, which is why I produced an array of statistics relating to both.
@cis4aber The draft was not introduced until 1940? Where are you getting your facts? There was a draft in the French/Indian War (Seven Years War), the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish American War and WWI. Your argument is nullified right there.
@bevil4aday Obviously, I was restricting my point to a draft which would have had an impact on unemployment rates in the late inter-war period. The introduction of a wartime draft during the Napoleonic Wars has little relevence to our discussion of employment rates during the 1930s. And, neither does the draft in 1940. Which is the reason I provided an unemployment rate for 1940, as the draft was introduced relatively late that year, citing the 1941 statistic would not be relevent.
@cis4aber To clarify that, the 1940 draft only has relevence to our discussion if we continue examining statistics befond the introduction of that draft. I specifically did not do so. I also would not include stats on industrial output or exports because of the impact of lend-lease and its predecessor policies. Though, Keynes did, of course suggest that FDR invest in a military economy to pull the US from the depression in 1933, he was right about the effect that would have too.
those correspondents are fucking stupid and stubborn. they don't wanna admit that ron paul is correct and honest because their puppet masters don't like him. and that bitch who kept getting pissy, making smartass comments and cutting off ron paul with "ok" and laughter, fuck her. she'll be another sheep put up for slaughter. RON PAUL 2012!!!!
You're looking at the symptoms, not the cause... Ron Paul is a student of Praxeology. Study praxeology not Keynesian which craft if you want to learn how to analyze events.
In order for Dr.Paul to win, HE NEEDS THE PRIMARY. That's the toughest part.
IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN PRIMARY YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED REPUBLICAN! If you don't switch parties in time, (3 months ahead in some states from now) YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE!!

@bevil4aday Well, actually, had we not had a double dip then it probably would have signalled just that. However, we also have to take into account exports, employment statistics, life style, net average income, etc. These have not begun recovering, while they did begin to after 1933.

@cis4aber My point about the reinvestment in gold from foreign countries into US industry was a means of prepare America to be the world war machine. Since 1941 American soldiers have been stationed on over 700 bases throughout the world policing other nations and protecting the CIA drug trade.
The point is, other nations HAD gold to invest in 38 and do not today, China is buying our DEBT, not invest in our industry in gold. That would make a HUGE difference in employment numbers.

I think Ron needs to hit the history books. The great depression was not turned from recession into depression because of government intervention. In fact the reverse is true. Hoover's administration actually took a relatively Laissez Faire approach in the worry that intervention would make the situation worse. The situation only improved, with production increasing and unemployment decreasing, when government intervention did seriously occur from 1933 on.
cis4aber 1 month ago
@cis4aber Ummmm, what about the recession of 37? Even Wikipedia states that the work FDR did in 33 (New Deal) was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 35. FDR then set in motion the Second New Deal that lead to the 37 recession. FDR's intervention lead to prolonging the Depression more so than eliminating it. If were not for WWII the US may not have recovered at all.
bevil4aday 1 month ago
@bevil4aday Even the second dip of 1937 did not see production rates dip below their 1933 lows. And, of course, Keyneseyan economists would point out that the cause of the 1937 dip was because FDR continued to try to balance the budget, and withdrew essencial funds, rather than stay the course. And, if as you say, FDR's policy extended the recession, why did the three years of inactivity, under Hoover, not end the recession? Why did it become a depression at all?
cis4aber 1 month ago
@bevil4aday To expand, the GDP in 1933 was 56.2 (billion). In 1937 it was 91.9 and in 1938 it was 86.1 and in 1939 it rose to 92.2. The highest point since 1930. Between 1933 and 1939 exports also doubled. Similarly, unemployment drastically decreased from a high of around 25% in 1933 to around 14.6% by 1940. So I think we can dispense with the myth that FDRs policies had no effect or actually extended the depression.
cis4aber 1 month ago
@cis4aber From wikipedia "According to Christina Romer, the money supply growth caused by huge international gold inflows was a crucial source of the recovery of the United States economy, and that the economy showed little sign of self-correction" This was in 1938. It took foreign investing into American industries that ultimately lead to slow recovery. Foreign investing into industry.... why would foreign investors take interest in American industry in 38? I have my own ideas.
bevil4aday 1 month ago
@bevil4aday As I noted to Boredperson55, opinion is, of course, divided. To also quote wikipedia:
"British economist John Maynard Keynes argued in General Theory of Employment Interest and Money that lower aggregate expenditures in the economy contributed to a massive decline in income and to employment that was well below the average. In such a situation, the economy reached equilibrium at low levels of economic activity and high unemployment."
cis4aber 1 month ago
@cis4aber
I disagree. The Depression was caused by artificially low interest rates that led to more loans being lent than banks could afford to loan.
Also, Hoover was an avid interventionist in the market, and rejected laissez-faire capitalism before he became president.
Boredpersons55 1 month ago
@Boredpersons55 An interesting take, but not on,e which I feel is actually supported by Hoover's policy towards the crisis. If we look at federal investment into the economy we see direct correlation between investment and limited economic growth (in fact we see decline). While after 1933 we see increasing borrowing, direct intervention, increasing GDP and reduced levels of unemployment - culminating in the Second World War which saw a true application of a Keynesyan model.

A group of UCLA economics actually studied Depression era economics and found that the recovery was impeded by FDR's New Deal, (and New, New deal), by as much as seven years, unfortunately I cannot post a link.
Unemployment is sure to drop if you force half of the population to war. The USSR also saw low unemployment, but that was due more to forcing people to work.
Boredpersons55 1 month ago
@Boredpersons55 I have no doubt you can indeed find teams of economists suggesting that FDR extended the depression, similarly I can point out historians and economists who take a radically different perspective, such as the famed economist Richard Musgrave. Regarding your point on the draft, thet was not introduced until 1940; so your point is anachronistic.
cis4aber 1 month ago
@cis4aber
This is true. The boost in GDP indicates an increase in government spending, (which, no doubt, there would have been due to the New Deal). A depression can still occur when GDP increases.
Ah! the classic debate between the Keynesian School, and the Austrian School!
Boredpersons55 1 month ago
@Boredpersons55 Certainly it can, as you point out above. However, we must also consider reducing unemployment, rising exports and consumer and buisness spending. All of which rose during the 1930s under FDR and all of which decreased under Hoover. We are, after all, talking about net economic growth and oft forgotten living standards, which is why I produced an array of statistics relating to both.
cis4aber 1 month ago
@cis4aber The draft was not introduced until 1940? Where are you getting your facts? There was a draft in the French/Indian War (Seven Years War), the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish American War and WWI. Your argument is nullified right there.
bevil4aday 1 month ago
@bevil4aday Obviously, I was restricting my point to a draft which would have had an impact on unemployment rates in the late inter-war period. The introduction of a wartime draft during the Napoleonic Wars has little relevence to our discussion of employment rates during the 1930s. And, neither does the draft in 1940. Which is the reason I provided an unemployment rate for 1940, as the draft was introduced relatively late that year, citing the 1941 statistic would not be relevent.
cis4aber 1 month ago
@cis4aber To clarify that, the 1940 draft only has relevence to our discussion if we continue examining statistics befond the introduction of that draft. I specifically did not do so. I also would not include stats on industrial output or exports because of the impact of lend-lease and its predecessor policies. Though, Keynes did, of course suggest that FDR invest in a military economy to pull the US from the depression in 1933, he was right about the effect that would have too.

@cis4aber The only difference between those other drafts and the 1940 drafts were that the 1940 draft was the only "peacetime" draft.

@cis4aber Interest rates that were set by the Federal Reserve, I should have made that clear.

Merkel and Sarkozy should listen to Ron Paul: liquidating debt not bailing out the Euro banks is the solution, the only solution.

You're looking at the symptoms, not the cause... Ron Paul is a student of Praxeology. Study praxeology not Keynesian which craft if you want to learn how to analyze events.

@itsGman20 It's funny to see how these hosts can't "hurt" Ron Paul, he's looking at them like if they were children : )

Ron Paul: "Here's what you do about it"
Pundits: "OK....but what do we DO about it?"
Ron Paul: "Well you do this and this and this"
Pundits: "But what do we do??!?!"
Ron Paul: "You do it just like this"
Pundits: "Well obviously nobody knows what to do...except Obama..."

It's not enough to say "Vote Ron Paul"
In order for Dr.Paul to win, HE NEEDS THE PRIMARY. That's the toughest part.
IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN PRIMARY YOU HAVE TO BE REGISTERED REPUBLICAN! If you don't switch parties in time, (3 months ahead in some states from now) YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE!!
Go to BLUEREPUBLICAN(dot)ORG and register ASAP! Copy and paste this everywhere! Thumbs up
