  • Would a mathematical analysis of the Ponzi scheme Federal Reserve operation that will inherently lead the U.S. into bankruptcy all for the benefit of “financiers” who received $8.4 trillion from the auctions of securities last year without a whisper of that profit to Congress be of interest ??

  • lol

  • what we should do right, is wait 'til christmas, when most congressmen have gone home for the holidays, and bribe the three or four who stay behind to pass a bill abolishing the Federal Reserve act of 1913. Get them out the same way they got in :P

  • Dont really have to be that way ... there are 300 co-sponsors already in Congress! And 30 in the Senate!

    Actually, the reverse might happen that all the reps will actually end up supporting it one way or the other!

  • Inflation is a scam on the working, tax-paying masses. Printing money is good for the wealthy and powerful in the short term, but robs the wage earner in the long term. Ron Paul in 2012!!! Ben Franklin was right..."A republic...if you can keep it." It takes engaged citizens, active and aware of the political process to hold on to what we have and to keep the government in check. Name one government that has not gradually grabbed power over time. Remember the Roman empire?

  • FED=Criminals

  • Consider this: a person making $32,000 per year today has the equivalent purchasing power of $5,907.40 1970 dollars. So, the same person making $15.38 per hour today is equal to making $2.84 per hour in real purchasing power in 1970 dollars. It is not the price of goods and services that have risen so much, but the purchasing power of our dollar that has been so drastically reduced. Our standard of living has been effectively reduced through fiat money inflation.

  • Is there any wonder that poverty is becoming rampant? The government has no other choice but enforce minimum wages in order to keep the working poor at some level of subsistence. At the current $5.85 per hour a person has the same 1970 purchasing power of $1.08 per hour, at 40 hours per week that person is effectively making $43.20 per week to make ends meet.

    Dr. Paul appears to be the only candidate or politician that is sounding the alarm to the American People...and they fail to listen!

  • Most can't "hear" him. Media fails to even acknowledge he is STILLLLLLLL a candidate. Media owned by corp. the more U don't hear a candidate the more U should vote for (write in if necesssary) that person. NO MORE ENCUMBANTS EVER...

  • concerned00citizen: 

    How do we write in a candidate on a Diebold machine?

    This is a serious question, does anyone know how it works?

  • After reading this I tried to find out & ended up googling "Pennsylvania voting machines" where & found votespa . com which gives tutorials for the voting machines in my county. A similar search with your state should help you out. Pa doesn't use the Diebold (thankfully).

  • republicae

    Recently I was listening to an author of book on organic food on NPR. While not intended to be discussing inflation, they mentioned a stat I found interesting. They compared the % of income spent on food during a year in the 60's to today. Average % of income for food went from 16% then to 5% now.

  • I was disputing the idead that we are following the Zimbabwe model. The rest of the world tries to duplicate our Fed - unsuccessfully most of the time. Our country enjoys relatively low inflation over the course of time. I am all for keeping inflation in check, I respectfully disagree with RP that returning monetary policy to the hands of congress is the way to do it.

  • So its not Zimbabwe and the rest of the world trying and failing to duplicate the fed system huh? Funny since Zimbabwe was only formed as a country in 1980.

  • Ron Pwned!!

  • The U.S. abandoned gold in 1933, after which its dramatic recovery immediately began. The same happened after Italy dropped the gold standard in 1934, and for Belgium when it went off in 1935. On the other hand, the three countries that stuck with gold through 1936 (France, Netherlands, and Poland) saw a 6% drop in industrial production in 1935, while the rest of the world was experiencing solid growth.

  • this "experiencing solid growth" in 1935 is one thing, but this is 2008. We have all benefited from the current money/credit banking system, but the question is will we continue to benefit in the coming years. I think the answer is no. A return to the gold standard would force the FED to be more responsible. Rapid economic expansion is the upside, hyper inflation and depression is the downside of our current system. In the end this is moral question, and I few the current system as immoral.

  • wasaka, you mention forcing the FED to be more responsible. This would imply there is still a FED and that congress is not determining monetary policy - two things that RP advocates in the return to the constitution. There are pros and cons to the gold standard, but if one keeps the autonomous Fed system in place I am far more receptive to a gold standard.

  • "The U.S. abandoned gold in 1933, after which its dramatic recovery immediately began. "

    I don't know what you're smoking, but you need to find a better dealer. The USA didn't start to recover from the great depression until 1945.

    -jcr

  • We didn't start recovering in 1933, we were in the depths of the depression, and Roosevelt was making it far worse by expanding the power of the feds and spending fiat money on make-work programs, instead of letting the private sector get us out of it, as they had in every previous crash that a central bank had caused.

    The Fed caused the depression by inflating the money and fueling the stock bubble of the 1920s. The ensuing wave of bank failures deflated the currency by some 30-40%.

  • Northwoodsmn....The Crash had absolutely nothing to do with the gold standard although that is the common boogie man blamed for the events that led up to the Crash. The real culprit was the lose money polices of the FED in the early 20s; something that even Bernanke owned up and admitted was the case.

  • The FED has had a pitiful record when it comes to actual stabilization of the economy and has, through its polices, created far more recessions and depressions then ever occurred under the sound money system of the 1800s. I believe I counted a total of 27 shallow, moderate and deep recessions, including 2 moderate depressions and of course the Great Depression. In the 1800s there were only 5 notable "panics".

  • By the way, until 1933 there was bacially flat inflation, then gradually inflationary pressure began to mount until 1971 when the dollar was completely un-pegged from gold...

    Now, it takes more than $22,000.00 to purchase what $1,000.00 bought in 1913...that is not just a nature increase of commodity prices, but inflationary expansion of the fiat money supply.

  • republicae

    Never said it did if you read what I said. I said quoted a study discussing recovery from the crash. Look, I am simply saying that RP oversimplifies things to the point of distortion. It is always easy to scapegoat one thing and blame everything on that thing, unfortunately there are usually many other offenders (read fiscal policy / legislative spending).

  • An International Comparison" published in 1991, noted that 13 other countries besides the U.K. had decided to abandon their currencies' gold parity in 1931. Bernanke and James' data for the average growth rate of industrial production for these countries (plotted in the top panel above) was positive in every year from 1932 on. Countries that stayed on gold, by contrast, experienced an average output decline of 15% in 1932.

  • nobody would be able to say therewill a 100% non-intventionsim in his policy and i mean no one

  • Good Luck

  • congratulations you have produced the most fucking boring ad ever lol .. a little to much reading for a !!!!VIDEO!!!!

  • Gold has always been troublesome for The USA. The nation worked on a bimetalic system for most of the US history. Going to a Gold Standard was terrible for the economy. Even the movie "The Wizard of OZ" is about this! The real issue is national solvency and restoring the Treasury System, instead of the present National Banking System.

  • " Going to a Gold Standard was terrible for the economy. "

    Nonsense. The country did fine after both of our previous fiat currencies were abandoned (first, the continental dollar which collapsed, and then the civil war greenbacks, which were taken out of circulation in an orderly manner.)

  • why did we go into the FIAT system in the first place?

  • Bankers. Short answer, bankers intent on controlling the Monetary systems. The same banks that crushed Russia, financed Hitler. Same private banks that financed Americas Vietnam War expenses, and financed the Russians who then sold their weapons to China then to Vietnam.

  • Gold is overrated. Stocks do way better over time. Who owns a majority of our treasury bonds? China. Who owns a majority of capital in Chinese businesses? US companies and individuals. Who's screwed if we go under? China and every other person in the world. Why do you think France's President was here to warn us of the dollar slide. We're not buying from them. We have cheaper connections. New World Order.

  • Not anymore. With inflation theft, insider trading and corruption risk the likes of Enron....precious metals and commodities are the hard assets of choice Study Warren Buffet.

  • Have you researched Dr. Pauls life and congressional record?

  • What about American energy independence, protection of natural environments, affordable college education , worker competitiveness, affordable medical care, fool-proof social security, compelling alternatives for mothers to stop killing their children, tax incentives for raising children, pervasive dangerous addictive drugs, defense against growing Chinese military power?

    What is clearly needed is both more publicity and much greater poll gains per donation.

  • American's are dullhard and your country deserves to go down the shitter (and it will) if you don't vote this guy in. Its certaintly looking like you wont so your deserve all you get. Bring on the Chinese hegemony.

  • There are Americans that know the truth. Our Country does not deserve, nor will the people let it, at the brink of when people will say ENOUGH! then will there be a revoultion. The question is...is now the time for the revolution?

  • When you have a record of honesty like Ron Paul then you don't have any ammunition against you for the enemy to you,Be honest from the get go because the past can haunt you.Ron Pauls past is nothing but truth.Only way to smear him is to make up shit.RP,08.

  • I don't think you're getting the gist of what is the message in the video. The Dollar bill used to be based on gold, a worldwide standard value. Now it's based on credit.

    Since 1913, things 'seemed' to get higher in price value. Actually the dollar has been sinking because the government keeps borrowing more and more based on credit. Pretty soon our credit will catch up to us and we can no long borrow BILLIONS from China to fund wars.

    Greenspan:Douche

    Mises:Genius

    Wiki them both

  • Plus we're talking about INCOME tax being eliminated.

    INCOME tax pays for the wars and imperialism. Look at the amount of world policing we started once the federal reserve and income tax was implemented.

    The Barbary wars are the only exception before that and that was to fight pirates destroying our merchant ships unless they pay tariffs, so it was in defense.

  • Any benefits and pension he receives from his term in congress he gives back to the government.

    When you work, how much money is taken out of your paycheck for Income tax?

    btw Greenspan is part of the Federal Reserve, Ron Paul wants to abolish this private bank charging YOU interest on YOUR tax dollars without choice.

  • This song just reminded me its time to send Ron Paul some more campaign money- thanks!

    RON PAUL 2008 !

  • Then I've done my job lol

    Actually, I'm gonna send $17.76 to his campaign today.

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks for posting this. I too came to know Dr. Paul through the Mises Institute and thru Austrian economics.

  • Vote for Ron Paul '08

    to heal our economy

  • Thank you. I enjoyed this much better. I am old and can't read very fast. Thanks.

  • A pleasure to accommodate the old and visually impaired Americans.
