[fukkuutube]

yea libertarians may smoke herb but i bet that dude does blow and fucks hookers. id go with the pot hed

[uturniaphobic]

Common sense:

when working from the Equities Section of the Balance sheet the nation grows correctly

When working from the Liabilities section of the Balance Sheet Interest payments are made to other interests, bleeding the solvency and wealth of this nation

it is literally taxation without representation!

we need accountants right now not market annal-ists

[babapoopoo]

always amazes me how those d#$%heads bash marijuana use... u smoke a joint and u relax.. that's wat it's for... .. r we supposed to work our as#$s off all day and make the boss richer for the rest of our lifes... ??? take a break and smoke a bit why don't ya??? .. or vice versa...

[bakpe529]

perfect!

[crazyruss88]

Greatest prosperity till the crap hits the fan like it did in the past couple days. Bubbles do not equal real growth...

[dimonemon]

Last guy was talking about greatest prosperity, because of floating fiat currencies. *lol* The greatest prosperity was the 19th century, especially the latter part. From 1870 to 1900 prices dropped about 33%. I hope we can see that in our lifetimes - that which comes only with hard money.

[jprithvi]

Bravo, Bravisimo go Ron Paul!

[MayadaJeffery]

Kudlow used to croon (1999) that there wasn't any financial trouble in USA because the price of gold was low. Now he agrees with Michael Metz, who says the price of gold is inconsequential. Kudlow is a moron. Makes Cramer look downright brilliant. Of course we've had financial prosperity since we've had floating currency. We've maxed out the national credit card. Now what? Moron!!!

[Questfortruth86]

simply great!

[marxbitesall]

The Fed/CFR/CIA/NWO criminals probably WOULD kill a president Ron Paul just like they did JFK who authorized silver certificates to compete w/fiat toilet paper FRNs.

The Fed has been robbing Americans since 1913, is privately owned and for profit, and unlike before it's creation, charges us interest for using OUR OWN MONEY!!!

The same bankers were behind big govt Hamilton as well as Jackson's, Lincoln's, Garfield's & JFK's assassins, were also behind the Federal Reserve - the Rothschilds.

[gwho]

if the gov supports competing currency, why did they raid and confiscate the gold that was backing the liberty dollar? each liberty dollar could be redeemed for an amount of gold, or silver.

google liberty dollar.

[AndyMackenZ]

Steve Forbes should be on our side!

Go RP!

[clutch1245]

Since our money is not redeemable in gold anymore, I guess the price of gold has no bearing on inflation. However, if it were based on the price of gold, inflation would have long since scared the shit out of us so badly that toilets would be relegated to the history books.

Vote for Ron Paul.

[saved2play]

I mean, if you want, there's an open market for gold. You can purchase gold, and sell gold. Or you can purchase certificates indexed to the price of gold, and sell those. All online if you wish, as well. I know it's not the same thing, though.

[spiderplopper]

Steve Forbes is currently National Co-Chair and a Senior Policy Advisor to Rudolph Giuliani's 2008 campaign. See Wikipedia.

[LetsDoIt08]

Does anybody know why America's gold reserves "have not been audited for years and years"? I don't get it. Seems like knowing what's there (gold AND silver) would be rather important, even if our currency is not tied to those quantities of metal. If "Fort Knox" were robbed, would the government even know what was taken?

[jaychins]

i agree with Paul on foreign policies, domestic policies and fiscal policies@

[bakinjoo]

isn't Forbes working for Giuliani's campaign?

[ishtrice]

RON PAUL 08!!!!!!!

[gsuitter]

As a kid I use to walk around with pockets full of silver, pre 1965 coins. Today I can get about $15 in federal reserve notes for one dollar in silver. Thats how devalued our dollar has become.

[LetsDoIt08]

Until 1776, beaver and deer skins as well as tobacco were used for currency. If we allowed a commodity other than paper bills to function as currency today, what would it be? My roommate thinks it would be gasoline, a pretty decent guess. In case you're thinking, "Food," note that the colonials couldn't eat pelts, skins, or tobacco. So, it would be something we can live without--but don't want to. In my case, wine. WHAT SAY YOU ALL?

[LetsDoIt08]

Addendum: When pelts, skins, and tobacco were used as currency, actual specie (British sterling, Spanish dollars, and any number of other currencies) were also used. So, to clarify, my question is this: What one thing do you need or want so much that, if someone gave it to you in exchange for a good or service you provided, it would be as good (to you) as getting actual dollars. See what I mean? My curiosity is raging. Speak, my friends.

[anyusmoon1]

I vote for silver. Americas gold reserves have not been audited in years and years and years, making the existence of what we used to believe was 'stored in Ft. Knox' is not longer our and therefor subject to the whims and manipulations of the foreign powers/elites who've presumably absconded with it and hoarded.

Silver!

[bloodycortez]

how about sea shells? with the prettier ones having the most worth...

[GALACTOSE]

00:54 - Watch the blue scrolling text bar... Priceless.

[Fullmetalpizza]

lmfao why would hillary be watching your kids?

[senileguitar]

bahahaha... hilarious.

[MooseOfReason]

"BRAVO! BRAVISIMO! GO RON PAUL!"

Yes, sir!

[MLBinwa]

I support Ron Paul but don't agree with everything he says and don't feel we need to.

He is honest, intelligent and knows our country is in deep trouble just like most of us.

Our current state of affairs is not sustainable. America is on the decline and fast.

Ron Paul and the people can change this. He can win!!!! Donate as much as you can.

[boozehound420]

you can guarantee Ron Paul wouldnt abuse his presidential powers. He would be in the congress 99% of the time trying to get things passed. With constitutional lawyers next to him (ow wait he doesn't need any of those)

[rainmancdw5]

Notice how only Jewish people are against Ron Paul to make America great again.

[superfan79]

the will of the people is like a river, it can only be dammed for so long until it breaks

[shanedk]

In 1960, the dollar was still tied to 1 oz of silver--in fact, you can still get 1-oz Silver Eagles, and they're still marked $1, but you'll pay over $14 for them because of the price of silver.

In 1960, $1--or one ounce of silver--would buy: a movie with popcorn, four gallons of gas, or three gallons of milk.

In 2007, one ounce of silver will buy you a movie with popcorn, four gallons of gas, or three gallons of milk.

We need sound money.

[shanedk]

The price of gold doesn't rise with inflation??? HE'S the one smoking pot!

[hamsterpoop]

it doesnt...

[shanedk]

Yes, it does:

goldprice dot org /30-year-gold-price-history.ht­ml

See how nicely it conforms to periods of high and low inflation?

[superfan79]

milton friedman wanted to legalize pot, and he was more of an economic genius than any of those guys could ever dream of

[jdubincali]

Ron Paul's economic plan is brilliant. Competitive currency will ultimately bring the Federal Reserve bank to it's knees. That sounds good to me. I've donated so far $250...I plan to give on Dec 16th...Let's make this HUGE!

[615ocean]

Jim you are a Ass Clown and yes Ron Paul is right

[mackler]

What's wrong with smoking pot?

[blahinhawaii]

Imagine this on a small scale in your household. Your spouse runs up a $100,000 credit card bill and when you suggest paying it off, living on a budget, saving and investing..he/she says "NO, look at all the nice stuff we have. We have never been seen so much prosperity before I started running up debt."

What an inconceivable dumb-ASS.

[slimpickens63]

Next President of the united states folks.

[grimscar]

yeah, greatest prosperity ever, which gave us 9 TRILLION in debt.

[Gugguggug]

Amen, in other words borrowed prosperity, paid for my our kids (thanks guys).

[SinatraBZ]

Meet the next President of the United States.

Ron Paul, the Champion of the Constitution!

[mets4885]

Bravo, Bravissimo, GO RON PAUL!!!!!!!

[mets4885]

BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO, GO RON PAUL!!!

[Desnoxvu]

Great comment crowd!..

I especially liked how the last guy called libertarian pot heads but agreed about competing currencies.

I painted my first Ron Paul sign a few nights ago. Gonna buy some spray paint and make a bigger one tomorrow.

[bigsid920]

Steve Forbes makes me feel ill.

[EdibleAntiPerspirant]

Aw man, I wish they would've let that last guy talk for a little longer so I could hear some more hilarious and original jokes. All libertarians smoke weed? Hahaha, I've never heard that joke before!

[eekdog2005]

He doesn't agree with Ron paul on foriegn policy? Thats what is bankrupting our country. We waste billions driving up our massive debt overseas. if you want to save billions tax payers, get out of Iraq ASAP.

[illusionofsafety07]

ya funny its a round table of monetary talk and the one key element to the fall of our markets is the billions of dollars a day we borrow overseas. TIME TO WISE UP. Greed takes over the logical part of the brain im sorry to say.....VOTE RON PAUL!

[guerone]

General Electric the owner of Cnbc makes parts for weapons and many other things needed for war.

[fearonism]

THEY're also a leader in green energy. They should pick sides...lion or lamb...

[saynotoslavery]

Ron Paul is the talk of the nation.

[Garbonzo07]

TOKE THE POT!

[WearRonPaulGear]

Money is great, but not everything. I gave on Nov5 and will give again. Starting Nov. 15 everyone must wear Ron Paul gear. I mean everyone. We need to increase his name recognition to everyone without internet or youtube use. We need to increase his voting base. We can make the hats ourselves or buy them or whatever. But I want to see everyone wearing his hats. I'm the only one where I live wearing them, and I kid you not people ask me who is Ron Paul. This works, I'm telling you.

[samuell80]

I am a walking advertisement for Ron Paul...T-shirts, hats, stickers, buttons, I even carry around some extra to pass around.

[lordmetroid]

The power to print money is always too tempting for congressmen whom are eager to buy votes with through government programs. The power to print money can not be kept in check. History has shown it over and over again!

[Spanishfries]

At least if Congress printed the money, they wouldn't have to pay interest for the money printed, which is what the income tax is for, to pay off the interest, only that. A debt that is impossible to pay because for every dollar printed by the fed, interest is charged. A gold backed currency would limit the amount of money that can be printed.

[tsycear]

Wow, these guys just gave Ron Paul about 10 minutes of positive coverage(see part one). That's a lot of time for tv.

[cloudstrife543]

Every Ron Paul interview never siezes to amaze me! RON PAUL 08!!

[skdjfhskjhdf]

'ceases' !!

[cloudstrife543]

lol, ya my bad

[moofph]

ron paul supporters are awake...

it is for us to gain support from others...not fox,

if you need fox to win then you've already lost, btw...

RON PAUL '08...this time it's personal...

[skdjfhskjhdf]

Hooah go Ron Paul!

[utubesucks2003]

Thanks Al.

[guyinrichmond007]

At least one man had some sense, and its NOT larry kudlow.

[bxblox]

the great prosperity equivalence of living extravagantly on 10 credit cards.

[wizlex]

You said it. Time to start making payments on that card!

[Woodchuckk]

Prosperity!

9 trillon dollars worth of it!

[benjie2429]

dude i hope you got updated about wats going on man

[JackKovack]

Libertarians smoke pot, hahaha very funny. Like I haven't heard that one before. That guy needs to fucking grow up.

[ronpaulnation]

Great Job! This video has been added to the lineup at: FreeMe (dot) TV - MARYLAND Don't forget to register Republican before November 19th to vote for Ron Paul! - more info at RonPaulNation. com

[BlueTunisia]

Ron Paul is amazing. If he does this he'll get rid of the central bank, federal reserve, and shoot our dollar value through the roof! Also we won't have to pay property tax, and INCOME TAX and so many other crazy ones! He is America's last hope!

Ron Paul 08!!!

[infundadiform]

the 3rd guy bullshit that growth driven by new markets and demand also population growth

[treezpleez]

Steve Forbes just endorsed Ron Paul.......its over :)

[lastnymleft]

Caution. He endorsed one specific aspect of Dr Paul's fiscal policy, the need for a currency to be backed by gold. That's not a full endorsement. But it does go a way to shutting up those that call him "crazy", and "kooky". Perhaps the networks won't be so quick to use those terms now.

[Foslopac]

Kudlow thinks Muslim radicals attack us because we're free. LOL

And the guy in the bottom right believes $60 trillion in debt is "great prosperity". Apparently borrowing $2 billion a day from China doesn't matter either. What a jackass.

[TypeEE]

I think Ron Paul is the only candidate who knows his economics well. If I were him, I'll keep bringing economic topics up and the other candidates will go, huh?

[lordmetroid]

But the rest of the government schooled economic illiterate population will also go "hu?".

[LrdElderon]

What that last guy doesn't seem to realize is that we HAVEN'T had a gold standard for the last 25 years... so his first comment was a moot point.

[infundadiform]

its is growth from new markets increased population growth and the resulting demand. is our gold in really in ft knox?

[soulmantim]

He knew that too, I think he was just trying to twist words around to make it sound Ron Paul was wrong. That idiot in the bottom right square probably doesn't even follow the gold market.

[usmcvet66]

LeCamp and Metz are buffoonish mouthpieces for the central bankers. Keynesian monetary policy fails on it's face and the incredible debt of the neocon war machine is devastating our nation. You can not spend your way to growth. Central planning of socialism has failed. So stop resurrecting it. Free markets and sound money are the way to achieve financial stability. These idiots are leading you astray. Look no further than BOA, and now Citi to see the criminal stupidity.

[Foslopac]

You can add WAMU to that list too!

[scott715]

Steve Forbes says: "you can move in and out of currencies easily right now".

Uh... maybe that's true for Steve Forbes, but the rest of us have to pay sales tax when we exchange dollars for gold and silver and we have to pay capital gains tax when we exchange it back.

[speedyshipper]

Ron Paul Kicks ass!! Buy Silver and Gold NOW!! It is cheap compared to where it is going ^^^^^ Sky High. Dollar Doomed

[poz7452]

Actually, I agree with him most of the time, I really do.

[schulwitz]

He's catching on!

LOL

[drumhippo]

I'm tellin ya!!!!

[soulmantim]

no no no, I'm tellin ya!!!!!!

[misfit422]

pfft, you'll find more pot smoking hippies on the democrats...

[soulmantim]

was that 4 out of 5 economists endorsing Ron Paul?

To that guy that disagreed, no relation between gold and inflation? What is THAT guy smoking!?!

FYI gold is going to hit $1000 by xmas

[Eric21ND]

Even Forbes admitted Gold would make the dollar rock solid.

[soulmantim]

But Fox News told me that that idea is crazy!

I'm sooooo confused, who should I trust?

[Foslopac]

LOL!!!

[lordmetroid]

Yuo ought to go to mises dot org and read up on sound economics. They have books on austrian economics they distributes for free in pdf format. Beginner books as well as advanced material.

Search mises dot org for "Economics for Real People"

[rpm247]

Thanks a lot for this.  Yeah! Go Ron Paul!

[davyjames]

brings up drugs... pointless haha.

[axisboldas]

Yeah! Ron Paul gets people thinking!

[Mandrik]

Thanks again for the follow-up!
