Rep. Alan Grayson: "The Life Settlement Industry doesn't revolve around borrowed money at all."

[LEWFROST2]

grayson=SHIT bye byes!

[braininahat]

LMAO. Find a job, loser.

[winsman01]

As a conservative Republican who only knows you as the guy who said "Republicans want you to hurry up and die", I must say I totally agree with you on Life Settlements. You did a great job here explaining this.

[TheAerialbomb]

It's a shame that you lost your job. We have been sending jobs to other countries for years so that big corporations could increase profits. If you look back, every time the economy burbed the governement cut interest rates so that consumers would spend. Many used their homes as piggy banks. We finally got the interest rate to near zero, nowhere to go from there. Taxes should have been raised but politicians were/are never willing to do that. Now we're paying for it.

[N0reasontohate]

i could be that people, like myself< want to work, but the system we have is broken. 9.7% unemployment, over half of that is ages 19/31. Maybe thats why. I pay my taxes, now I need help. I would help you if you needed it. People are people. Love not fear.

[auriciangelescu]

I agree 100%; too bad most of Americans do not understand it....

[electroman076]

Hey Grayson if the sins of others should not effect me ..

THEN WHY DO YOU TAX ME TO GIVE FREE SHIT TO ...

SCUM THAT DONT WANT TO WORK ?

[DiscoWisp]

Lol. Ms. Bean.

[kwgrid]

So far I like this guy.

[Perceiving]

Great video Alan.

[MichaelDeMichele]

you educate the american people alan! they might not be watching but IM watching.

[nkosev]

Alan is great, but the empty room is making me sick really. If president Oliebama was there i bet the room would be full with "clap your hands by my signal" ppl ...

[Greywyn7]

Uh, this is the US... I don't know where you're from but our presidents name is Obama.

[nkosev]

I know how your precious president is named, but i just think - he lies too much :)

[Greywyn7]

What did he lie about?

[dmc359]

has he shown his birth certicate yet?

[Greywyn7]

He showed the short form, which shows the exact same info as the long form.

Has Sarah Palin shown hers? Rush Limbaugh? Glenn Beck? I can't find their birth certificates anywhere! They must be from Russia!

[dmc359]

"showed short form" , ok, who did he show it to you? which form, his birth cert or his certificate of birth? where can i look this up? where are you getting this info from?

[Greywyn7]

Certification of Live Birth, which is what Hawaii gives when a "birth certificate" is requested.

It is the second one when googling "Obama birth certificate", and Politifact did in in-depth review and found it to be valid. Not to mention the newspaper articles from NINETEEN SIXTY TWO.

Obama must've been chosen before he was even born, though, right?

[dmc359]

yep, US goverment doesnt lie right? at least you have done some research for your side of argument. (which is a good thing even if we disagree), we have had an in-depth review "911 commission which would have us believe that 12 ton titanium alloys in the form of 4 rolls royce engines vaporised in the crash into the pentagon but still managed to leave DNA traces and a headband.

i am curious to know who exactily owns the St. Petersburg Times?

do you know?

[Greywyn7]

The problem is that to believe the opposite side (huge conspiracy, nobody speaking out, no records) takes MORE faith then looking at the evidence for his birth and finding it valid.

Didn't know off the top of my head, looked it up; owned by Times Publishing Company, which is owned by the Poynter Institute, a school of journalism.

[dmc359]

i am not saying that i believe birth certificate is fake, on that issue i am more 95% real, 5% possiblity of being fake. Taken in the context of : if the US/Britain can lauch a fake war on terror claiming saddam had WMD's and invading a country on that premise which has led to over 1,000,000 innocent civilian lives lost, it is surely within there power to fake a birth certificate. I dont want to debate this much more as i feel it takes away from more pressing issues. Cont.........

[dmc359]

what is your view on auditing the FED, do you agree that it should be done? and the 9/11 commision, do you think this should be reinvestigated or are you happy with its findings? i think there is still a lot of unanswered questions that need to be addressed.

[Greywyn7]

Yes. Entities whose practice determine economic balance should be as transparent as humanely possible.

What are these questions that need to be addressed, in regards to 9/11?

[dmc359]

where to begin?, with regards to plane hitting pentagon, they have the footage but wont release it, they cliam a boeing 757 with two Rolls-Royce RB211 22C engines made from about 12 tons of titanium alloy crashed into the pentagon and completely vaporised without a trace but still managed to leave DNA evidence and a headband. This is completely ridculous when you think about it.

[mongobobo]

Ehhhh.... I wouldn't be so sure about that, Alan.

[scanlonized]

The tie is pimp'n! you go AG ! That's right your sins can not be transfered only delayed.

[SherrieLeaLaird]

did you see today's tie..$ haha

This man is so old skool from a past life. Looks like he once took Al Capone to his knee's.

[skybirdbird]

Again....Alan hits the nail on the head!!

[MooseOfReason]

Fractional reserve banking. There's your leverage problem.

[nkosev]

You nailed it, its the root of the problems. But none will actually change anything before a huge problem is created.

"There is no historical record of any society that deliberately and consciously modified their culture to fit changing times. The real factors responsible for social change resulted from biosocial pressures inherent in all social systems. It is brought about by natural or economic occurrences that immediately threaten large numbers of people."

Jacque Fresco

[0neinch]

Look at that tie, its pimp as hell.

Mr. Grayson, what do you think of Obama raising a comunist flag over D.C. at the same height of our flag? What do you also think of obama lending 400k to a charity run by Gadhafi? Do you think these two actions fall into what is laid out in Article 3 section 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America?

[SherrieLeaLaird]

Everyday I love you more!!!

You are amazing!

You are Hot.

I know my mind should be on the politics only

but you are hella cute, while fighting for the people!!! Hero's Conquering Zero's!

[bossduff]

Mr. Grayson, Thank you for your efforts in congress, and good luck with the fed reserve audit. This country needs leaders like yourself. History is in the making in these troubled times. All the rights and wrongs will come to light, and god help the crooks and thiefs, when the american public wakes up.
