wow the shoe-box example was great!! and makes perfect sense. soooo many people need to realize this. stop putting so much trust into the federal reserve notes (for those who don't know that this is, it is simply the paper money u carry around to purchase things with, aka dollar bills/cheddar/cheese/money/ call it what you want but it has no real value like gold does at this point).
I'm from the u.k. but have been watching the debates so far, you republican voters need to back ron. it's a shame you news coverage is so biased against him....that should be enough to make you think hard about the (big money) media owners motives.
they are hoping you are all dumb enough to vote for one of the puppet candidates
@Laxer1313 If you're eligible to vote in the General Election in November, you're eligible to vote in the Primary. You must turn 18 on or before 6 November 2012.
@theorangeshirts We have to register for parties to vote in the primary election to choose who will be on the ballot in the general election, you don't have to belong to a party to vote in the general. It was meant to stop other parties from "voting up" unelectable candidates to sabotage the election, but the unintended effect is if you really want a choice in the presidential elections you have to switch parties every time we get a new president. It's pretty annoying.
I like that reporter, dispite him being part of FOX NEWS, he seems pretty down to earth & gives Ron Paul a fair chance at answering instead of getting blasted by the pinhead Bill O' Rilly.
You can use anything as long as it can't be counterfeited like Paper, Gold is one of the best at keeping its value thus its a good holder of currency.
@theBaglady74 The point was that Gold is better than Paper because humans have many more resources to abuse the printing of paper.It's true it doesn't defend against inflation, but it limits the money supply, unless we use paper ordained gold, which is essentially the same thing as fiat currency.And I did prove you wrong, I was saying, we don't just value gold because it's shiny, we value it because it's finite--a lot more so than paper.We could use anything that's rare.
@theBaglady74 Also gold is a heavy metal (i.e. allowing uses that a heavy metal has) and is much more universally perceived as a symbol of wealth than paper is, and in that respect is not useless. But whatever, tell me to 'use my brain.' I'll admit I was a little frank with how I treated your comment, probably shouldn't have. The point was though, gold has a use in the sense that it is limited when used as an economic standard.
@fingerspear I don't buy your "finite" argument. Paper is not infinite, and clearly has an upper limit. Currency is a manmade construct, and the "rarity" of gold is mimicked by fiat currency! Nothing can be "more finite" than something else. If you want to say that we value gold for its rarity, you essentially give in to the notion that we are arbitrarily assigning value to a rock, which in the current system of course is necessary to give our fiat money its own relative value.
@halfthishalfthat Gold can't be re grown unlike paper as it comes from a tree which is a renewable source, so yes you could say its not infinite but it is still very much away from finite like gold.
@fingerspear But in the same way, we can choose /anything/ to serve as the standard, there is no special reason for gold other than the preservation of tradition.

Ron Paul as president in media controlled brainwashed states of America? Hell no! Not through mysteriously complex, corrupt election system of US! The system is there to elect "their man" like George W Bush elected! Well Sarah Palin has a chance. Not she can win the election. But media and administration win it for her!
If gold were allowed to be used as money, banks would take it as collateral, take deposits of it and make loans based on it. The only difference is the gov would not be able to devalue it.
@animelegacy: True, but the dollar is *constantly* being devalued, especially now, because the Federal Reserve keeps printing dollars for no other reason than to bail out big corporations or fund the overseas wars.
It was the idea of America's founders to have the value of the dolar based upon the value of gold and silver, and Dr. Paul supports the idea of returning to that standard because gold pretty much has a definitive value (practically set in stone, if you will).
@animelegacy Good luck finding this Mother of all gold mines.Plenty have searched for it for 5000 years. You are correct to a degree,it is sensitive to miningbut look at $'s losing 95+% of value since 1913. The present price of gold is very low considering all the currency in the world. It would have to rise dramatically if it is remonetized. Luckily, Ben B. doesn't have to rely on chance or luck, he has a computer keyboard a 1 and 0 that he can press as many times as he wants to create Dollars.
Jobs ARE created buying gold. All the technology put into mining, transporting, refining, minting into coins. What kind of deep thinker is he? How many jobs are created printing paper money? Lost all respect for Varney's opinions after watching him debate Peter Schiff over future housing prices.
This is the end of the theatrical left vs. right puppet show. This is the end of the Federal Reserve and all private banks for profit. Join non-profit credit unions, they give you better rates and better loans! Money should be a public currency and fixed to population, not private speculation. I see so many demands for Occupy Wall Street, I think they would all be fixed if we ended the private issuance of money by abolishing the Fed and fixing money supply to population.

If you’re planning to vote for Dr Ron Paul, in 2012 you’ll have to register Republican. Whenever Dr Paul runs for president, the RINOs in the GOP organize closed ballot primaries (this means you have to be registered with the party to vote for party members, and you can always CANCEL your membership afterwards) to isolate Ron Paul’s support. This man is our only hope. If you agree, please copy & paste this in every Ron Paul video you see on youtube.

there's currently an unprecedented amount of scrutiny and criticism of the federal reserve system, as well as the Keynesian worldview in general, which indicates to me that there is reason for optimism - eventually critical mass can (AND WILL) be reached and the cartel, which is maintained by government force, will be outlawed (perhaps via constitutional amendment). This would be unthinkable 15 years ago, but the internet and the work of people like Dr Paul have made this a real possibility!
@aNdReSkKkK "there isnt enough gold to cover the dollars circulating out there."
You're right, but that's not a bad thing. It has been the vast expansion of the number of fiat dollars (ie inflation) that has destroyed the dollar's value. The ever rising prices we've grown accustomed to is not a normal feature of a growing economy, but a result of the unceasing monetary inflation that finances welfare/warfare.
Gold would be handcuffs for the federal govt, and would not at all hinder growth.
@sadkins1 Yeah but what "federal" government are u gonna handcuff :P If the money printing people are a private company called the federal reserve. That is a world dictatorship, like it or not it's here or are you free to move to the wilderness, hunt whatever you want, buld your own society? cant :P
Gold standards have NOT failed. Governments required to run under gold standards failed...because they always try to do things that cost more money to procure than they return. So governments always debase currency; its not a fault of the system, but the fault of stupid power hungry imbeciles who think they can cheat.
in order for ron to be on the presidential ballot..YOU MUST VOTE FOR HIM IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION....please people this is your country, take it from people who don't give a shit about you....ron does, he's is not your run of the mill politician...
I am with Ron Paul since 2006, when I first time heard about him. I could not believe how stupid choice US has made in 2008, and now, in the new era of confident internet information we should spread this message. I personally could not vote for him, because I am living in Poland. But even hear the voice of truth from Ron Paul is spreading for the glory of freedom. I am jealous because US have RP and Poland have not. And I will considered voting for him as my civic duty if I was a citizen of US
Ron Paul 2012 picture bomb on September 7th ( the day of the MSNBC debate ). Change your Facebook pic into a Ron Paul picture to promote liberty, and the constitution.
Vote Ron Paul 2012! YOU DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS and THIRD PARTY make sure to register as Republican in order to vote for him in the primaries. WE NEED ENOUGH VOTES TO NOMINATE HIM! In some States you can only vote for your party during the primaries. Spread the word!
@zombiefitnezz Yeah. You cannot speak on subjects that way over the top of your head in understanding. I used to try to be patient with those such as yourself. I simply do not have the time nor the desire anymore. I am a part of a very large majority of independent economists who actually know what we r talking about. We will be able to inform those who are not completely manipulated already into understanding what is happening and why. And also what can be done about it. You? Are NOT worth it!!
Ron Paul is correct. I am economist. Studied in college and later with Mises think tank groups. Do you want the truth? It's hard to hear but it is the truth I swear it. America WILL fall within the next 5 to 10 years. Here is how they will try to save it. In a last ditch effort they will re institute the gold standard due to the hyperinflation we are in. Valued possibly 200 times its current value. BUY coins NOT market. Have it within you possession. They WILL confiscate what they can get to.
guys do NOT buy Gold n accept a "certificate" for it its been know to have been OVERSOLD up to a 1000TIMES buy what you can have in your hands just imagine if u guys sold your house to a 1000 ppl n gave them a certificate! u be hunged But they get away with it n when the crunch cames u be left with another bit of useless paper Ron Paul is the man to get america out of this shit the elitist/bankers have caused n his vice president another Great american Jesse Ventura wish u the best guys
Gold just like Paper Money is a Jew Banker Scam, You can't eat Gold. Invest in good soil to grow your own food, a well for non-poisoned water, chickens and pigs for meat, and learn a skill or trade to provide for your family. America is purposefully being DESTROYED by Jew Bankers and all JEWS support their agenda. Prepare or Die, its not rocket science.
@CodexAlimentarius1 People in Zimbabwe can only make transactions using...??? Anyone? Anyone?....GOLD. Why?? Because that is the most universal form of currency known to Mankind paper money does not equal Gold. Paper money makes attempts to be Gold, that is why when they are first created paper money is always linked to Gold or Silver but over time governments decide it would be more convenient to not do that. (1971-Nixon, study history-it’s crazy what they hide in books).
@gooseCha And if you don't know what is going on in Zimbabwe (currency was hyperinflated) right now than you really have no grounds to post comments on this issue. I recommend you look into it. I also recommend you watch Peter Schiff's videos which predicted what was going to happen in the housing/market/dollar bubbles back in 2002. All which were based on the fundamental belief that Gold always holds it's value. People love Gold, we always have and will. And I am Mexican not Jewish lol
@CodexAlimentarius1 - What's happening has nothing at all to do with Judaism. The elites who are destroying our world are initiates of the Babylonian and Egyptian mystery schools and use Judaism as a front.
try paying off a 30-year mortgage with gold... and you'll figure out why deflation is theft and why goldbugs are called vulgar, aristocratic, royal, malthusian, feudalist libertarians
You idiot - try to buy a house for cash, and you'll realize real quick why inflation is theft.
.
Debt is slavery, you moron. You think you're getting something cheap, well you're not as a lot of home flippers are now discovering. They are now slaves, and they sold themselves into it, on a too good to be true deal. They deserve it.
Except now you walk away from the house which goes to the bank and you rent the same house at a lower value then you would for a down payment; and the bank is left holding an unsellable overvalued (by their own estimates) house. If only you do that, you are screwed. If a tenth of the nation does that, the banks will fall on their face.
@52111centrumcz Banks aren't going to fall on their face. They'll simply mark the assets at their face value, and sit on the property long enough until inflation DOES make it possible to sell at a profit.
Banks never lose, they run the entire banking system and the Fed is a cartel of banks. They'll do whatever they need to do in order the ensure they make a profit, even if it means hyperinflation.
People who sell themselves into debt slavery, are fools playing in a fixed game.
They actually need to have some liquidity; and those houses will be unsellable. What You don't seem to realize is banks need a positive balance sheet; if done as described above, the banks will have a negative balance sheet and NO LIQUIDITY. That means they can't trade, can't buy and unless they do something like the ETFs for house mortages scam they won't be able to manipulate with the equivalent of 15 to 20% of their virtual money.
The banks have a partial reserve system; they have about 3 to 4% of what they say they have; its an old scam dating back to gold storage in goldsmiths in England. What I am saying is if you do what I put up above (10% of the population rick rolls banks on home loans) then you have the local equity market go significantly down, because those houses will lose value simply due to not being maintained; things have value if they are used and maintained, a M1 garand even if unused has a
If they let it rot then it shows significant loss, because eventually it will have to be written off. Not to mention if the bank retakes posession, it has to pay the taxes on the property; its non-productive and deducts from the balance sheet.
@52111centrumcz It doesn't have to be written off until it's SOLD. For the millionth time. They'll just leave it on their freaking books, let the damned thing rot to the ground, and well just claim the empty lot is worth $600,000 - and eventually it will be - after all the dollar only inflates.
They won't lose money. The system is a setup, it's not fair, it's corrupt. This is why housing is showing up on the market. The banks will sit on them FOREVER.
the only thing worse than inflationary debt paper is deflationary gold to favor the bankers and enslave the working class. ron paul is the neo-feudalism wing of the neocon fraud. von misses and the austrian school of deception was funded by the rockefeller foundation. the answer is replacing debt paper with debt-free paper, like the continental or greenback, paying off the national debt and income taxation in the process.
@jeepndesert How? I'm sincerely curious, I don't have a mind for economics. How is deflationary gold worse than inflationary paper?
You're god damn right about the greenback. How do we pay back the debt we owe simply from printing money with debt attached to it? Print new money without debt. Man that was easy :P
What was the continental? I'm guessing another debt free paper currency, but from where? Here?
@elysium735 - Historically speaking, gold holds it's value far better than stocks do during deflationary periods. I first heard that from Marc Faber and after a little due diligence discovered it to be true.
Money emerges AUTOMATICALLY from the market as a result of barter. It requires no government, no cooperation, and no group planning of any kind. Just individuals making trades which they view as beneficial to themselves. I don't have space to explain how (read 'the case against the fed' for good explanation).
The "intrinsic value" people are ascribing to gold is economically ignorant. What they mean to say is gold has an element of NON-MONETARY DEMAND, a requirement for any stable money.
@d3th2u the roman empire used copper and the copper coins were worth a lot more than the copper. intrinsic value of the coin is the quantity used for trade, not the metal or paper. all the people clipping and shaving the gold coins made minting gold coins very expensive for the crown.
Let me explain this to you people one more time. NOTHING has "inherent" value, not gold, not dollars, or anything else. Value is purely subjective and is unique to every individual and every instance of time.
If this were not the case people would never make ANY trades at all, because someone would always be the looser in the deal. Only the subjective theory of value explains why two people can trade goods and both be better of as a result.
For Money to ever come into existence at all, it must initially be a good which is demanded for its non-monetary uses. It doesn't have to be gold (cigarettes in prison) but it must have an initial non-monetary demand. If not, you could never calculate prices.
If I just print up Fun-Dollars from nothing, how many do i have to give you for 3 eggs and a cow? That's why the Dollar was initially pegged to a commodity. You can't just abandon the link to this original source of value.
so well said, this month the US. mint suspend the production of gold and silver coins, too much demand, { check US mint suspends production gold and silver coins]
hey freedom lovers, what can a broke guy like me do? I would like to purchase some gold and silver but it is way over my price range. Anything do-able? There's got to be some way I can purchase gold coins at a discount, hopefully.
@EdMan2012 If you can't afford a $200 gold coin the size of a dime, go for silver, as it is much more affordable. Research the silver content of coins you'd like to buy, research the price of silver as it fluctuates each day and then base any purchases on that information. Just remember, often coins are worth more in terms of their collectability than the actual silver they contain. You'll have to hunt around to find the good silver investment rather than just a collector's item.
I think silver is where the real money is to be made. Gold will conserve your capital, but silver will actually make you money. Silver may be cheaper but it's market is better.
@theanduo what if the industry has a strong hold on silver and cause it owns silver for its own manufacturing but can sell it at high prices to people cause they are not the main owners , that would be nice grip to have, now i wonder if theirs any strangle hold like that, or some agreed contract
@theanduo oh also i wonder if great demand would go for silver and then because of low quanity, price rises that way the industry can get larger amounts of money for more investing in prospecting for the ore, and if there be low contents then usualy it still may be profitable because of the now increased profits received, supply and demand? i wonder if i didnt read that if i could of come up with that idea
Gold is where it's at. The Federal Reserve has devalued the shit out of the dollar. I think the dollar has lost 97% of it's value. But silver is a good investment as well.
@Haileo20 Almost anything material is a good investment. Precious medals are especially good because they are more stable than other commodities. It is almost impossible to artificially manipulate the value of precious medals.
@truthfreedom4all True, you can't eat gold. Consumables are a good thing to have (especially in the case of political, social or natural disaster where the rule of law has departed). However, it is good to diversify. What if things get bad but the shit hasn't quite hit the fan. The dollar is worthless but we still maintain society. Or if society collapses, precious medals would be helpful in trade during and after the upheaval.
@HeadTater Oh I never said NOT to buy gold and silver but TOP PRIORITY should be the other things I listed. I bought a few coins four years ago. However, if one is limited in paper dollars, get the guns, ammo and food first.
@truthfreedom4all Oh, thanks for clarifying. I agree with you. The means of defense and sustaining life take priority over precious metals when resources are too limited.
Faux News......friends of Ron Paul? I think not! They're pouring on the syrupy happy crappy talk alittle thick here. There's always an underlying motive with mass media types.
WHO owns most of the Gold Mr Paul ??? Yeah The Jewish Banking Mafia... so we base the dollar on Gold and then the Jews can manipulate our currency as they do now.
now hold on casper, whom ever holds gold in the vastest amount, is not a bad thing. the fact that they value it is what gives it it's base value! distributing the gold is called an economy. redistrubuting it is called socialism.
and if rand paul doesn't win in kentucky i hope he tries a presidential bid!
The fact that this shiny metal is of so much value to humans is evidence of how stupid people can be.I do however know that for some strange reason,it's better than cash.
@AngryPenguin27 Hey genius.In a scenario where the dollar is worth nothing,nobody is going to be making anything out of gold.The majority of gold is used just for show or hoarded in vaults.
@MrSafetymeeting Your argument is absurd. Gold was used as money for thousands of years. Do you think that during all that time gold was never used to produce anything? Read a book.
@AngryPenguin27 I'm not argueing.I said in my original comment that I know it is currency.I just think it's wierd that people value a shiny metal so much.Read the comment before you reply.
Guys, don't attempt to have a meaningful discussion with the amazing atheist.

think what you want me personally i think that gold would be a smarter investment, every time i turn on the tv to watch cspan all i see is spending, spending and more spending by my goverment which in my opinion will effect the dollar very negatively.

If gold were allowed to be used as money, banks would take it as collateral, take deposits of it and make loans based on it. The only difference is the gov would not be able to devalue it.

animelegacy 3 months ago
@animelegacy: True, but the dollar is *constantly* being devalued, especially now, because the Federal Reserve keeps printing dollars for no other reason than to bail out big corporations or fund the overseas wars.
It was the idea of America's founders to have the value of the dolar based upon the value of gold and silver, and Dr. Paul supports the idea of returning to that standard because gold pretty much has a definitive value (practically set in stone, if you will).

@animelegacy Good luck finding this Mother of all gold mines.Plenty have searched for it for 5000 years. You are correct to a degree,it is sensitive to miningbut look at $'s losing 95+% of value since 1913. The present price of gold is very low considering all the currency in the world. It would have to rise dramatically if it is remonetized. Luckily, Ben B. doesn't have to rely on chance or luck, he has a computer keyboard a 1 and 0 that he can press as many times as he wants to create Dollars.

This is the end of the theatrical left vs. right puppet show. This is the end of the Federal Reserve and all private banks for profit. Join non-profit credit unions, they give you better rates and better loans! Money should be a public currency and fixed to population, not private speculation. I see so many demands for Occupy Wall Street, I think they would all be fixed if we ended the private issuance of money by abolishing the Fed and fixing money supply to population.

Whenever Dr Paul runs for president, the RINOs in the GOP organize closed ballot primaries (this means you have to be registered with the party to vote for party members, and you can always CANCEL your membership afterwards) to isolate Ron Paul’s support.

there's currently an unprecedented amount of scrutiny and criticism of the federal reserve system, as well as the Keynesian worldview in general, which indicates to me that there is reason for optimism - eventually critical mass can (AND WILL) be reached and the cartel, which is maintained by government force, will be outlawed (perhaps via constitutional amendment). This would be unthinkable 15 years ago, but the internet and the work of people like Dr Paul have made this a real possibility!

@aNdReSkKkK "there isnt enough gold to cover the dollars circulating out there."
You're right, but that's not a bad thing. It has been the vast expansion of the number of fiat dollars (ie inflation) that has destroyed the dollar's value. The ever rising prices we've grown accustomed to is not a normal feature of a growing economy, but a result of the unceasing monetary inflation that finances welfare/warfare.
Gold would be handcuffs for the federal govt, and would not at all hinder growth.

@52111centrumcz Banks aren't going to fall on their face. They'll simply mark the assets at their face value, and sit on the property long enough until inflation DOES make it possible to sell at a profit.
Banks never lose, they run the entire banking system and the Fed is a cartel of banks. They'll do whatever they need to do in order the ensure they make a profit, even if it means hyperinflation.

They actually need to have some liquidity; and those houses will be unsellable. What You don't seem to realize is banks need a positive balance sheet; if done as described above, the banks will have a negative balance sheet and NO LIQUIDITY. That means they can't trade, can't buy and unless they do something like the ETFs for house mortages scam they won't be able to manipulate with the equivalent of 15 to 20% of their virtual money.

Money emerges AUTOMATICALLY from the market as a result of barter. It requires no government, no cooperation, and no group planning of any kind. Just individuals making trades which they view as beneficial to themselves. I don't have space to explain how (read 'the case against the fed' for good explanation).
The "intrinsic value" people are ascribing to gold is economically ignorant. What they mean to say is gold has an element of NON-MONETARY DEMAND, a requirement for any stable money.
d3th2u 1 year ago
@d3th2u the roman empire used copper and the copper coins were worth a lot more than the copper. intrinsic value of the coin is the quantity used for trade, not the metal or paper. all the people clipping and shaving the gold coins made minting gold coins very expensive for the crown.
jeepndesert 1 year ago
Let me explain this to you people one more time. NOTHING has "inherent" value, not gold, not dollars, or anything else. Value is purely subjective and is unique to every individual and every instance of time.
If this were not the case people would never make ANY trades at all, because someone would always be the looser in the deal. Only the subjective theory of value explains why two people can trade goods and both be better of as a result.
Ron Paul FULLY understands this, btw.

For Money to ever come into existence at all, it must initially be a good which is demanded for its non-monetary uses. It doesn't have to be gold (cigarettes in prison) but it must have an initial non-monetary demand. If not, you could never calculate prices.
If I just print up Fun-Dollars from nothing, how many do i have to give you for 3 eggs and a cow? That's why the Dollar was initially pegged to a commodity. You can't just abandon the link to this original source of value.

@EdMan2012 If you can't afford a $200 gold coin the size of a dime, go for silver, as it is much more affordable. Research the silver content of coins you'd like to buy, research the price of silver as it fluctuates each day and then base any purchases on that information. Just remember, often coins are worth more in terms of their collectability than the actual silver they contain. You'll have to hunt around to find the good silver investment rather than just a collector's item.

@HeadTater Oh I never said NOT to buy gold and silver but TOP PRIORITY should be the other things I listed. I bought a few coins four years ago. However, if one is limited in paper dollars, get the guns, ammo and food first.

@truthfreedom4all Oh, thanks for clarifying. I agree with you. The means of defense and sustaining life take priority over precious metals when resources are too limited.

Faux News......friends of Ron Paul? I think not! They're pouring on the syrupy happy crappy talk alittle thick here. There's always an underlying motive with mass media types.

now hold on casper, whom ever holds gold in the vastest amount, is not a bad thing. the fact that they value it is what gives it it's base value! distributing the gold is called an economy. redistrubuting it is called socialism.
and if rand paul doesn't win in kentucky i hope he tries a presidential bid!

The fact that this shiny metal is of so much value to humans is evidence of how stupid people can be.I do however know that for some strange reason,it's better than cash.

@MrSafetymeeting Gold has intrinsic value as an element. It has electro- and thermo-conductive properties used for industrial purposes, dummy.

@AngryPenguin27 Hey genius.In a scenario where the dollar is worth nothing,nobody is going to be making anything out of gold.The majority of gold is used just for show or hoarded in vaults.
MrSafetymeeting 1 year ago
@MrSafetymeeting Your argument is absurd. Gold was used as money for thousands of years. Do you think that during all that time gold was never used to produce anything? Read a book.
AngryPenguin27 1 year ago
@AngryPenguin27 I'm not argueing.I said in my original comment that I know it is currency.I just think it's wierd that people value a shiny metal so much.Read the comment before you reply.

Guys, don't attempt to have a meaningful discussion with the amazing atheist. He's simply one of the thousands of internet trolls out there, oh sure he'll throw out a miss quoted stat or an out of date figure to try and deflate an arguement but at the heart of anything he vomits forth he is simply a Useful Idiot. Treat him with he distain you would any common leech on society.

@RageAgainstNWO it's simple because people like Ron Paul and Elizabeth Warren are too honest and too good for their own good.
Come on, the only way for Ron Paul to be President is for him to sell out his principles.

@RageAgainstNWO Haha you just answered your question BECAUSE HE KNOWS TOO MUCH! If you educate the people you control then you lose that control. People aren't choosing to use their brains and just continue their "daily grind" and think oh well someone else will take care of the problem.
