reddit.com interviews Barney Frank (3 of 5)

[mlc2005]

Just to point out to the Ron Paul fans here: Ron Paul has publicly stated that he thinks Frank is a brilliant mind and a great member of Congress. He has worked with Frank on many, many bills and issues.

Search youtube for ZEITGIEST BANK part 1

it will explain what the FEDERAL RESERVE is.

[hyylo]

Put Barney Frank in jail. He supported all the bank bailouts.

End the federal reserve.

Support ron paul to end the federal reserve.

[JamesGimbi]

@hyylo FYI, Frank and Paul work very closely in the House, particularly against the Fed. They are as close to bi-partisan allies you will see in American politics.

[hyylo]

Rand Paul who is the son of Ron Paul criticised Barney Frank for not giving support to audit the federal reserve. Peter Schiff who is Ron Pauls economic advisor stated

Barney Frank did not agree to audit federal reserve.

Please search youtube for Peter Schiff Was Right

Peter Schiff is running for senate.

[JamesGimbi]

I know who both Rand and Schiff are and have donated to their campaigns.

Alternatively, you COULD look at the first 5 minutes of part one of THIS INTERVIEW.

[hyylo]

i have one simple thing to say that will prove Barney Frank is evil.

Did Barney Frank say YES or NO to audit the federal reserve.

Ron Paul wants to audit the fed

Peter Schiff wants to audit the fed

Rand Paul wants to audit the fed

Barney Frank said NO.

END THE FED

Ron Paul for president.

[JamesGimbi]

Yes, I suppose completely neglecting to address the points of the opposition is an effective way to evade presenting an actual argument.

I voted for Paul in the primaries and ran rigorous campaigns for him on my campus in 08, and also ran several voter registration drives. I am a serious proponent of liberty and rational thought in American politics. YOU are an example of the trolls that delegitimize and nullify my efforts. Thanks for nothing.

[hyylo]

i have one simple thing to say that will prove Barney Frank is evil.

Did Barney Frank say YES or NO to audit the federal reserve?

learn some economics.

Support ron paul to END THE FED

search youtube for MISES INSTITUTE to view ron paul presentation on ending the fed

[JamesGimbi]

Are you even reading what I'm saying? I already do support ending the Fed.

[hyylo]

You think Barney Frank is a good guy.

Barney Frank is pure evil.

END THE FED

[JamesGimbi]

You're... brilliant. It's stunning, really. I'd love to see more of you in action.

[ericfeinberg28]

@hyylo clearly you've never listened to a word barney frank has ever said.

[hyylo]

@ericfeinberg28

hi

i have an economics degree from london city university and also a finance degree from london school of economics.

i would encourage you to search youtube for the video:

..........Money Banking and the Federal Reserve.....

it will explain to you everything about the economic mess.

i hope it helps

[ericfeinberg28]

@hyylo im fully aware of the critiques of the federal reserve. im also aware of the critiques of the gold standard. theyre both flawed. the ron paul types need to explain what replaces the fed when we end it, because going back to the booms and busts of the 19th century is not a solution to the rest of us.

[hyylo]

@ericfeinberg28

what books on economics have you read? you should never read books that the government encourages. mostly books found in school and college.

you should read books by

Hayek, Friedrich.

Hazlitt, Henry.

Rothbard, Murray.

Smith, Adam.

Von Mises, Ludwig.

i could explain to you what would be the best solution but you must read some of these books first.

also ron paul does not want to end the fed really, he wants to allow market competition against the fed.

[ericfeinberg28]

@hyylo as I said, I'm fully aware of your arguments. But governing is more than asserting what doesn't work; its proposing a workable alternative. Returning to the gold standard is not a viable option, and there's no reason to believe pegging our currency to a commodity would make our system any more stable than it is now. Its simply a quasi-religious belief among free marketers that they never bother to answer completely.

[hyylo]

@ericfeinberg28

hi

If you read the books you will understand that you need something that will allow transactions to be made without the possibility that the government or any other individual will manipulate the transaction and try to steal its value.

In free markets the consumer will decide what they want to use as money.

i am sure we can agree that paper money with zero backing is pure corruption.

Please read the books first. Please.

[ericfeinberg28]

@hyylo im sure your barter system will get a lot of support out there... if you really want change, you need to do more than elect ron paul. you need to come up with an actual viable alternative. and stop referring me to your scripture; i'm well acquainted with the austrians.

[hyylo]

@ericfeinberg28

if you have not read those books then there is no point in talking. you can do what you want. i am protecting my family by moving my savings out of paper money and into real things.

good luck and take care.

[ericfeinberg28]

@hyylo im sure you'll have plenty of room to store it in your apocalypse 2012 survival bunker

[cmangy]

I lol'd @, "That's the bell that says congress is going into session. But we aren't doing anything, so it's okay.."

[meccaturbo]

Barnie Bunghole....with the big dick roaring in and out of his mouth and his asshole. And those lips have been on other men's dicks....you can be damn sure of that. Fucking disgusting. Barney Bunghole and Chappaquiddick Ted, two pillars of the fucked up Democratic party.

[hymnofashes]

@meccaturbo There are other places on the internet for your fantasies, dear.

[meccaturbo]

Listen up, hymnofashes, do you think I actually care what you think about my comments, you retarded moron?

[meccaturbo]

Hey retard, I could truly care less what you think, you retarded moron. I'm not a bigot in the slightest, I'm simply commenting on Barney Bunghole's actions. If you don't like what I write, then I suggest you take your petty whining elsewhere and not read my comments. You are a narrow minded fool. As for human garbage, you are exactly that, you retarded moronic loser.

[hymnofashes]

I apologize, I'll remove my comment.

[ericfeinberg28]

@meccaturbo sounds like you might have some issues to work out.

[meccaturbo]

@ericfeinberg28 Barney "Butt Pirate" Frank is the one with issues....fortunately, he and his cock infested rectum, are on the way out of Congress...

[ericfeinberg28]

@meccaturbo for someone alleging to be straight, you seem to think about cock an awful lot. sounds like there may be some projection is going on here

[meccaturbo]

@ericfeinberg28 Actually, your cock fetish is apparent because you keep tuning into those details in my message....I would say you have some fag tendencies, for sure. You and Barney "Butt Pirate" would make great butt buddies!

[ericfeinberg28]

@meccaturbo im quite certain you raised the issue. i watched this video because im actually interested in politics; you evidently watched it to broadcast your homophobia

[meccaturbo]

@ericfeinberg28 All you fags congregate together....a big fucking collection of scum and filth.

[ericfeinberg28]

@meccaturbo or what economists call the productive part of america. the places that are the most homophobic are also the shittiest to live. ask a foreigner whether theyd rather live in new york and los angeles or omaha and richmond.

[lvecsey]

I think the problem politicians in general have is that they are completely blinded by vast legacy structures, which they simply take for reality. I don't know if this means we need the best minds to design something new, or just simplify and junk vast parts of the political economic system.

[dwightbe]

lol i like how he says house is in session when the bell goes off, "but were not gonna do anything". It's like he's skipping class

[kungtotte]

It's spelled "filibuster".

[curtisjb1983]

Barney just earned a whole lot of respect from me.

[5imian]

Me too

[jgrover78]

He doesn't fool me--the guy is still an irresponsible and dishonest communist.

[McSpacerson]

LOL... The commie card? How quant.. how... 1977.

[jgrover78]

And how true. The fact that he keeps wanting more govt intervention is commie, yes.

[greyflcn]

re: jgrover78

So how is giving company shareholders, a say on their executives pay "government intervention".

If anything, that's self regulation.

[jgrover78]

I'm not specifically talking about executive pay although most people throw away their proxy votes. People can have a say on pay but they choose to complain about excessive compensation rather than do something. So what's the government going to do? FORCE people to vote? Passing more laws isn't going to solve our financial problem--the banks will find an end-around. They always do. The best thing is for more market regulation. Would the market force people to prop up failed institutions?

[curtisjb1983]

It's obvious you're fucking stupid so I won't even waste my time.

[jgrover78]

What a conving argument! Haha, you already wasted your time, dip.

[curtisjb1983]

lol thanks for agreeing with me.
