  • intelligent analysis by Ron Paul. he is well briefed and understands the issues

  • The simple fact that congress isn't up in arms over this, tells you where the criminal activity lies. If our president elects these scabs into power, then allows us the taxpayer to bail out wall street, then he simply needs to stand trial and jailed for this. If congress has the sole power to create our currency alone and doesn't, then we are going to need a prison big enough for them as well.

    Our whole system needs to be gutted, and built again from the ground up.

  • @nickgage1162 When the Fed "prints money" it is literally typing in money into a bank's account so no printing is actually happening. This causes inflation since there is more money available. The bank then owes the money to the Fed so it will have to pay it back with interest. So for every dollar that is printed that the Fed loans to our banks we owe more than it is worth: dollar that was loaned + interest = our debt.

  • @Timmy12688 Aaah thanks, thought it something to do with the lesser value of money. Happened to Nazi Germany too right?

  • Comment removed

  • He keeps looking at Ron like, "i know it's destructive to devalue a currency, but how else do you expect us to stay rich and powerful?"

  • Can anyone tell me why when you print more money you go into more debt? Only aspect of Ron Paul that I don't understand

  • @nickgage1162 More money in the market, less it's worth total. When money doesn't have a backing, it's harder to tell what it's worth, because you can just keep printing how ever much you want. Printing such large amounts causes inflation. Timmy is correct. The "fake" money loaned to banks has to be paid back, with interest, so they owe more money than they got. So this magic money that bailed out big companies, raises inflation, which we, as citizens, have to pay with increased prices of goods.

  • notes aka dollars without backing is dangerous.

  • I'm looking through all these videos of Bernanke and he always blurs the answers to the most important questions..

  • Common sense and a person actually there for the people. Be nice. Only problem I see. Is... If we elect a president that has good intentions. We have the fucking house and senate that don't have to agree with what he says.

  • The WORLD, not just AMERICA, needs to "Wake-Up!" and understand that we need to look at the Zionist/Jewish "PUPPET-MASTERS" who Lie, deceive, and stealthily hide behind every single catastrophe around the Globe today! (FACT!) They Control not only OUR Governments; Media; Banking, but virtually every single major corporation and industry in the WORLD today... another "FACT!" Either research for yourself, or go to: wake-upbeforeitstoolate(dot)co­­m and be prepared to be absolutely shocked!!

  • this man has common sense, and enough humanity to actually care about american people...this is him on capitol hill..not a campaign speech...his honesty will keep him off our ga. state ballot,, by the rnc.. my lack of choice disgusts me as a citizen

  • Look, we have to prolong oil supplies. That's why we don't have our currency backed by gold Mr Paul. We can't have no $30 oil, in which everybody buys up.

  • Comment removed

  • @Seedofwinter , correction...not having gold backing is nothing new.I could be mistaken but I believe in late 1700's and early 1800's and when trade was growing (& products like molasses and sugar were highly valuable), bills were being considered to replace money when banks began to consider tangible money (gold and silver) inconvenient...& tried pumping $ w/o backing... just saying. At least bills/federal notes were backed by something in the past, unlike all the cash being produced today.

  • if the government issues money without interest and can control its value with a gold standard then i can agree with that.

  • Ron, here's a clue, the Fed's policy is NOT a failure. They don't want to incentive saving or have a stable economy. Boom/Bust is created by the Fed on purpose to indebt us, put us in emergency so we must sell our assets. The Fed does care about the middle class. They care about bilking them. They are the ultimate predatory lender, along with their shadow-partner Bank of England and other central banks. A gold standard is BAD Ron. Treasury = make all money = solution

  • @Foreshadow44 Ron Paul isnt talking to Bernanke. He's actually talking to the Americans who are watching the broadcast. Most people have no idea how money is created in our economy nor do they understand the monetary policies that govern their lives. I agree however that the a Gold Standard is dangerous (mostly because every other currency on the planet is FIAT).

  • Most people are just too stupid to get it.

    Inflation is you dumbasses recklessly raising your debt ceiling and constantly creating new services for expanding your military empire, or more bureaucratic policies or government jobs.

    Creating jobs in government means nothing because they are paid by the taxpayer, which comes directly from the Fed, inflating your dollar that much more and therefore decreasing your savings.

    Making more money, makes your money worth less. CUT SERVICES.

    PERIOD.

  • @SergeantPepper99 exactly,,,inflation...lets examine it....what is our currency worth..with no gold standard to measure it by? what backs the value of the paper we print?///look up ft. knox..and how they wont even tell america, if any gold is even still there..so what are our dollars worth? chinese debt

  • Jesus could it be any more obvious the way bernanke answers ron paul's "to the heart of the matter" questions??? He couldn't make it any more obvious that he beats around the bush and can't even give anything that faintly resembles a straight answer... and it makes it hard for me to believe that he is not a sophisticated thief and crook just like the big boys at enron...

  • Ron Paul is correct to suggest that inflation is largely caused monetary policy. Even Bernanke in his response acknowledges that increasing money supply is a major factor. But I am not sold on the return to the gold standard. Germany did not adhere to a gold standard, yet did not have a problem preserving the value of the DM. Now Germany is keeping the value of the Euro up. Safe bet: the dollar would have devalued more relative to the DM than relative to the Euro. It's about discipline not gold.

  • don't believe in inflation? in 1999, a jar of mayonaise was $2. now it's $7. a box of macaroni and cheese was 40 cents. now it's $2. do you really think the american people are so stupid that they won't notice the deliberate devaluation of the currency? eggs are now $2 a carton, at one point they were 33 cents. this is utterly rediculous. our currency is becoming more inflated and devalued every day.

  • @shitthrowingmonkey1 This sham has been going on since the "Federal Reserve Act" came into being in 1913. Yes the American sheeple are very stupid. They have allowed this outrage for nearly 100 years. The current dollar is worth 1/3 of ONE CENT of the dollar of 1913. Yeah they are stupid to have allowed these gangsters conrol. And why does Congress even go through the sham of having this criminal appear before them as if he or the "Fed" owners gave a big rip what Congress or we the people think

  • @shitthrowingmonkey1

    That's nothing, just wait until foreign banks stop propping up the dollar and depag.

  • Will the Fed make it to their 100th birthday? Let's hope for our sake no.

  • Paul: "This isn't working. There's no way it could have worked. WTF is wrong with you?"

    Bernake: "I was told to only worry about prices. Other than that, I don't really know whats going on. Not my job."

  • Ron Paul slaps down these CFR,IMF puppets .Money, controls these GOP puppets .He's the only man up there that is not afraid of the Washington machine.Same groups that was wrong about Iraq, killed close to a million people, most innocent people .The money machine just needs to keep the lies going, and fool the world .They create conflicts to profit,and enslave the people thru debt and taxes.Its simply world traders, investors, and banks,even the Fed Reserve, READ HISTORY

  • The 13 thumbs down on this video are impediments to the development of Western Civilization and a shame to humanity.

  • @sirglickness If Ron Paul could predict the housing bubble years before it happened, while greenspan and bernanke could not, how much are their Ph.D's worth?

    The point is not Ph.D's but their economic philosphies, and the austrian viewpoint has a record of showing when things go wrong, while keynsians could not.

  • They WANT the middle class wiped out. Bernake is a disgrace to humanity and a LIAR

  • @Ayelyah Check out our video Challenge for ALL Ron Paul supporters and participate in it and get all your friends and family involved...Our Republic Needs you...type in- Ron Paul Supporters: Challenge .........in youtube ( its by our channel JASONANDTRACI ) ....Help make the video VIRAL!!!!

  • jewish money masters will destroy america and then move on

  • @911liberationday ....the american jew bernake is Loyal only to israel

    Traitor

  • All politicians do nothing for the people. they are ALL greedy and corrupt sons of bitches. Ron Paul sounds good, but it's all a fallacy, he is a politician...when he's not kissing babies....he's stealing their lollipops. And as for Big Ben.....he is just a hired cocksucker. I'm surprised he is able to speak into the microphone due to so much cocksucking.

  • PUMP PUMP PUMP!

  • @franco86 Were you class of 1912?

  • The banner under the video at 0:39 quotes Bernanke: "Subprime mortgage lending is positive force if done properly." Was forcing banks to write these loans and taxpayers through the offices of Fannie and Freddie, his definition of "done properly"???

  • Bernanke had to pretend that Ron Paul was calling necessarily for a return to the gold standard, which shows he couldn't argue the issue that was on the table, the value of the dollar and monetary policy.

  • I love how Ron free styles everything. No note cards, prompters, etc. Just the honest truth. And honestly, I don't think congress can handle the truth.

  • @Stephie49601 Check out our video Challenge for ALL Ron Paul supporters and participate in it and get all your friends and family involved...Our Republic Needs you...type in- Ron Paul Supporters: Challenge .........in youtube ( its by our channel JASONANDTRACI ) ....Help make the video VIRAL!!!!

  • @Stephie49601

    Congress can handle the truth, but the Congressmen know that the majority of people can't handle the truth.

    The Congressmen then pretend like they too have no idea of the inner troubled workings of government and the ignorance is continued. They then bash anyone who even remotely sticks their head out to stand up for what's going on, vis a vis Ron Paul.

    This creates our current situation, where Media Moguls are trying to shut him up for wanting to cut luxury service bullshit.

  • @Stephie49601 You're right; Congress can't handle the truth.... they operate and based on lies.

    END THE FED; Bernanke & Geithner to jail!

    RON PAUL 2012!!

  • @Stephie49601: Yea you can talk without prompters and notes etc. when your telling the truth.. just sayin.

  • Ron Paul can fix the problem, Unfortunately there are powerful idiots out there who don't want that and want to destroy this country.

  • I always imagine like five fat bankers in suits talking to Ben Bernanke before he goes out to do this. Like "if he says this, say that, and if he does this do that." He's answers are always pre packaged nonsense. I think Ron Paul knows that's all he'll ever get so he just uses that time to rant a little and get the message out to the public, because nothing is working. How many videos are there where Ben Bernanke is being interviewed just here on youtube? There is seriously like 50 I have seen.

  • Arrest Greenspan, Barneke for financial terrorism

    Greenspan set the policy for America and the dollar to fail

    looking for terrorist these 2 are worse than AlQaeda, and they are real

  • The american dollar? thats bupkis! give me gold RON PAUL 2012!

  • With all due respect Ron's arguments sound as if taken straight out of a high school econ book. I wonder how much more he really knows.

  • @sfranco86 Haha! If only more high school econ books presented Austrian theory!

  • @sfranco86 If you believe that Ben Bernanke is doing the correct thing, you are crazy. Ron Paul is absolutely right when he says to look to history, Ben Bernanke is just a puppet. Corporations have destroyed our country, especially the banksters.

  • I'd like to see Ron debate with Obama, especially if Obama didn't have his teleprompter. Ron would win in a landslide.

  • Ron Paul will relieve Obummer of his job in 2012!

  • Ben Bernanke is an economic maestro. Ron Paul is a crazy old kook who smells like a fart and is racist.

  • Ron Paul is so good he can roll straight out of bed, put a suit on, and put on a hearing like this.

  • If you seriously support Ben B. or any other of those Private Reserve criminals, you should be crucified.

  • @xXLayneStaleyXx Ron Paul should be tossed in GITMO and tortured until he confesses and get tried for treason and then be crucified to set an example for other domesticated terrorists who side with the terrorist.

  • @TerrorWarrior5000 you are so blind and ignorant that you have no idea what is going on and you keep listening to the lies of the current and past several administrations, you sick fuck. GTFO of America

  • Respond to this video... And btw, I've read some of your other comments. The UN and NATO in fact DO NOT decide whether we go to war or not. The CONSTITUTION of our nation does. Get your facts straight. You claim you're a patriot, but you're nothing but a war monger, and your ideas are the ones that will cripple our country. RON PAUL 2012!!

  • Ron Paul is the voice for the hard working American, and a true patriot. I know he would never get elected into the position of president... but he should. There are real good people in Congress that can make a difference, and I think it's a matter of time before they take down the Federal Reserve...Ron Paul truly Rocks!!!

  • WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE WORST REPUBLICANS DID TO USA;

    1) REAGAN MADE SOVIET UNION DISSAPEARED AND OPEN EYES TO RUSSIA NOW THEY ARE BECOMING CAPITALISTIC COUNTRY?

    2) BUSH WAS DRUNK MADE TWIN TOWERS COLAPSED, KILLED 3000 AMERICAN PEOPLE AND MADE THE WHOLE COUNTRY TO HAVE POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER, NOW EVERYBODY IS

    PARANOID THANKS TO REPUBLICANS?

    3) SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON FUCKING LEWINSKY DRESS , INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON EUROPENIAN UNION CREATED EUROS?

    AMERICA VOTE

  • YOU ARE SO DAM RIGHT PAUL!!!!!!!!

  • When I look at Bernanke sitting there I see the devil in his eyes.

  • @moose423 Ben Bernanke is a holy man of peace and freedom. Ron Paul worships Muhamed.

  • @TerrorWarrior5000 lol good one Ben!

  • @moose423 You hate Isreal and are an antisemenite!

  • @TerrorWarrior5000 that's hilarious since I'm Jewish you idiot...

  • Ron Paul has no ties to Wall Street, the fed, Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergor CFR (Counsel On Foreign Relations) right?

  • This may be the last opportunity for America to reverse this track of destruction we are on – and a chance to rebuild a system of governance that understands its true role, to protect our freedoms and support the right to private property and the accumulation of wealth. Liberties well understood by those who architected American's Constitution and the Bill of Rights. RON PAUL 2012 <3333

  • lets see him smile when we stick'em all in a fema camp they built for us!

  • TheBIG question that has tobe asked is"WHAT IS MONEY'and the Majority of people really don’t know!One of the easiest,and best videos ever made about“WHAT IS MONEY”can be found,

    youtube.com/watch?v=EtF_zbI5j7­M&feature=channel_video_title

    America; the biggest fraud, ponzi scam, swindle, in the history of mankind,is being perpetrated against an intelligent people.Either our politicians are ignorant of this fraud, or they are a part of this fraud?This is a Major down fall of America

  • @Riddlerx333x ...EXAAACCTLY!!!

  • HEDGFORMERS...more than C P I.

    Previously on Hedgeformers, the Autostocks leader, SubPrime, found himself in a clutches of Morgatron and his evil Derivicons.

    -"Give me the (ARM)-cubs, SubPrime, so that I may use such new investments to spike myself back to Cybertronion Markets."

    -"Never Morgatron. You and your Derivicons have created enough falsified statistical growth charts. These (ARM)-cubs will be use to put hardworking Earthlings into good homes."

    -"......you're shittin' me!"

  • Yeah, you'll almost always see 3-4% inflation in a growing economy (if phony balony oil prices don't sink us first) but if the dollar didn't tank in late 2008 when the panic hit then the old US buck's still the world's default 'safe harbor' currency..

  • Comment removed

  • @bellcord if ifs and buts were candy and nuts you'd already have your new world order.

  • @ShitWrangler A guy I worked with back in 1986 was always goin' on about 'The New World Order' ...heard about it at his church.... so it ain't too 'new'...and with the Panic in 2008 there ain't much 'order' involved eiether I'd suspect....

  • maybe it's time for another revelution

  • This was in 2008 and in 2011 the currency isn't debased, the dollar's still the world's choice of safe harbor money and lovable old Doc Paul still doesn't know his ass from a hot rock..this old shithook is straight out of 1932 still fighting FDR's new deal reforms and no one knows enough history to call him on it...we tryed the Gold Standard, we've had hands off Wall Street and we've let a wounded economy bleed to death..we didn't like it Doc..

  • @bellcord Not yet at least. I'll tell you what though, I'll take 5oz of silver and put them up to $200 of your "safe harbor" dollars, and well see which one would buy more groceries in the next few months.

  • @spainman2020 Hate to bum ya out spain but PigglyWiggley ain't taken 5oz of silver...just my dollars...don't worry , barbeque's at my place..

  • @bellcord Lol, nothing a quick trip to local coin shop won't remedy. I'm just saying, watch what I tell you... I've been listening to RP for the last few years, and I can't see where he's been wrong. Just because it hasn't happened yet does not mean that it won't. Our money is going down as we speak, it just hasn't hit the fam yet. Our dollar is losing purchasing power.

  • I'm horrified! Who are these goons? I don't mean Ron Paul. He asks valid questions and is clearly mentally alert. Who is the gum chewing moron sitting behind him, and the mentally deficient looking, calorie saturated man in front? Who are these people behind Bernanke? Their eyes are totally glazed over. I'm in the UK and just curious. What does it take to make these people at least pretend to look interested? I'm worried about America

  • @angelicinspirations Why do you care about such irrelevant things? What's relevant is the content.

  • @Riddlerx333x ...not only jewish but many european mafiosos!!!

  • @Riddlerx333x Yep, including its own.

  • @deficithawker haha keep printing that money buddy! Keep believing that inflation does not exist, and that a global rejection of the dollar will not occur if we keep printing FICA money. Believing anything the Fed tells you leads me to believe your the clueless one. This is one of the most secret organizations in our country, that fights any attempt at an audit, yet you believe what they say? Your the perfect sheep my friend.

  • "... as many may not agree with ron paul from a political perspective or a foreign policy perspective.."

    this statement is only true if you're paid to say that on television as a smug balding yuppie

  • Those late night Cash 4 Gold commercials?? It's the Fed Reserve that wants to give you useless, printed money for your valuable gold. DON'T DO IT!!!

  • @LCFlowercandy Actually, its the rich that are opening these stores, because of the neverending slide of the US dollar. They are investing their US currency while it still has some value. Also, i have seen unproven accounts that the chinese are also opening these stores, and bulk selling the gold back to china.

  • I fucking LOVE when uneducated people dislike videos where Ron Paul simply gives a correct lesson in economics to the man who is responsible for everything wrong economically in this country today.

    Nice try, morons. Go read something, pleaseeeeee, for the life of this country. Stop being inbred morons. I know it's hard for you - but PLEASE go read! Start with Economics 101.

  • notice how this scammer gets nervous... like saying... "damn you, you're not supposed to talk about that... "

  • FED is sucking american blood from 1913

  • @B0bL0bl4w If Ben Bernenke is stupid, then why don't you take his position at being the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. I'm sure you will do a better job lol

  • @TheJtown99 God another 10 year old trying to make a point. Heres Paul's point for uneducated ignorant people like you. 100% Money stability (gold and silver standard) makes prices go down and the value of our money go up. Grow up and learn some economics.

  • @THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS Imagine this, Ron Paul gets elected and the gold standard is put into motion (talking around 2007 when our economy shit tanked). The NAV in the money market almost breaks the buck (thank you Lehman Brothers, it's a good thing the Fed let them fail) and private lending is slowing because of this over leveraged environment. So lets just sit back and let more banks fail and do nothing about it. Why do nothing about it? Oh...I forgot printing money to save the economy is bad.

  • @TheJtown99 If you think bailing out the bankers and wallstreet, the ones who stole American money, was a good idea your a fucking tool. Yeah the CEOS got rich while everyone else had to pay for it. Your damn right printing money to save the economy is bad when there is nothing to back it up. When inflation happens who gets fucked? The rich or middle class? Grow up and study some economics.

  • @THEKINGOFMETROPOLIS totally agree.. tho both rich and poor will be "fucked" when the dollar loses all of its worth. Austrian economics teaches us that during these times, the rich will contract the wealth of society amongst themselves, so their suffering will be lessened. But, if we see a worldwide rejection of the dollar, those rich people are just as screwed if they hold their wealth in federal reserve notes. Maybe thats why the rich are opening "we buy gold" stores everywhere.

  • My birthday!

  • Ron Paul obviously has no idea of what he is talking about. The impressive thing is that so many people support him.

  • @anonimo198931 YOU are ignorant and brainwashed

  • @anonimo198931 Are you some kind of mindless puppet for this monstrosity we call our American Government? Ron Paul is 100% correct in everything he says! The Federal Reserve must be abolished and we must adopt a monetary system in which is backed by silver and gold or our money will soon be worth no more than the dirt you walk on!

  • @anonimo198931 Only a few will admit the truth. That's not so impressive.

  • Ron Paul Rocking Big Ben

  • @Paid4ByTheFED kids in history will hear about this 50 years from now

  • @B0bL0bl4w You're absolutely right. A marginal understanding of economics tells you that QE will devalue the dollar and you don't get to be Chairman of the Fed with just a marginal understanding of economics. He wants to destroy the dollar just like Greenspan and Geithner wanted a housing bubble. Thanks guys I was so happy when my family lost their home and I know I have you to thank, but just a friendly tip: give your bodyguards a raise, you'll need them.

  • @B0bL0bl4w agreed.

  • The most honest man who has ever existed in American politics. He will never hurt you. He loves the Conservative fiscal and is a liberal of personal liberties. What more proof of him being the middle is needed.

  • @JohnnyMac2237 Libertarian not liberal...there's a difference.

  • @funk7000

    He is a liberal on personal liberties. I myself are personally a libertarian. The difference is liberals do not believe in economic freedom.

  • @funk7000 Not much of a difference - we as Libertarians just do not endorse government force, through the barrel of a gun or in any form, and liberals do when it comes to stealing from some to give to others. In a free society voluntary action and associations must be absolute throughout. If people want to give money from their paychecks to pool into a fund for poor people to buy health care, and many would, than that is fantastic and should be commended ;)

  • @funk7000 Although, I would agree that that is a pretty huge difference, so never mind ;)

  • @sirglickness

    Have you done you ANY research on Paul's credentials ? Maybe you should, I think you would agree that Paul has much more credibility than Bernenke, who has with the help of DC, managed to ruin the USA economy.

    A PHD is great, but it doesn't make you smart. A smart person makes smart decisions, Bernenke may be brilliant but he's complicit in stupidity. That makes him stupid, PHD or no PHD.

  • 3:06 you can tell Bernanke is smiling because he knows what Ron Paul is saying is correct. But Ron is very theoretical. Just like school vs real world - theory doesn't necessarily pan out in the real world.

  • @briansle Who ever said that way didn't work? The history that we are taught is fictional.. Wouldn't the banks want you to think that you can't no have debt? Paul's theory would work.

  • The surest way to get Ron Paul or similar elected is through an educational campaign rather than a political campaign. By far, the simplest and clearest explanation yet of our monetary system is the YouTube video WHY WE ARE IN SO MUCH DEBT. It is a must watch. The presentation style is perhaps too laid back, but the information and insights hit with force.

  • Bernanke is a fraud compared to Paul.

  • @sirglickness ron paul is better economist, but the fact is not the knowledge, is the intention, bernanke (he is a puppet anyway) dont wants stability, he follows orders to destroy us economy to create chaos, remove peoples liberties, maybe martial law, and surely a fascist government.

  • @sirglickness You do realize that Ron Paul has been studying economics since Ben Bernanke was in Elementary School?!

  • @sirglickness

    Bull$hit

    Ron Paul has been right about every prediction about the housing collapse and everything else. Bernanke has been wrong about everything. See the videos here on youtube. Bernanke has been wrong about everything.

  • Ron Paul is the only smart member of the house!!

  • Gold standard is bad since we don't have much gold. GOVERNMENT RAN FIOT CURRENCY is the best. look at green backs and Post-American Revolution currencies were the only two true currencies that have ever worked ( with the exception of the tally stick. The best thing for us to do is to give the power to print money back to our government and not these private bankers.

  • @Str8upWizardCJ

    NO...

    it worked for a short while but corrupt goverments would abuse it.

    It needs to be backed by something like gold or silver.

  • @xMaXiMuSx Disagree absolutely, Fiot Currency under the public supervision of the people and government is the absolute best system.... Unless you would rather go back to the tally stick system. I do apologize for a typo I had posted in the previous statement. You are correct that the POST-American Revolution Fiot system did not last, but I meant the PRE-American Revolution Fiot currency system used worked perfectly. Looking to history can help us.

  • @xMaXiMuSx As to believing in backing our money in gold AND silver (not just one) I would say, back after World War I this would have been the best thing to do considering there was so much gold in America, but because all the gold was taken from the people and stored at Fort Knox (then magically disappeared) I'd say going to a gold standard will make this economy crumble. Our only true chance at having a stable economy is to give the right of printing money to the PEOPLE!

  • @Str8upWizardCJ No. If you continue to keep printing money then it loses it value. It's like a baseball card or any trading card. If there's more copies of that certain card then its not worth much, but if there isn't that much then its worth more. That's a guaranteed way of making our economy unstable and making the dollar collapse. History has shown that all fiat currencies have failed. Only Silver and Gold is a true currency. Read Ron Paul's book "The Case for Gold" that explains everything

  • @xMaXiMuSx It's called printing money... then not printing money again. WOW who the fuck would have thought of that no brainer... Its called use Fiot money made by the government whilst raising fractional reserve lending percents, until we have banks that are full with real money. take away power from the Federal Reseve and give it to the treasury, and place a bill saying that 96% of all votes must agree to increase/decrease the money supply by a maximum of 5%. FIXED THE PROBLEM!

  • @xMaXiMuSx If we went back to the gold standard it would around 2 million dollars for one oz of gold. THUS HYPERINFLATION.! our gold supply is too low and our money supply is too HIGH. Even if we backed our currency with every precious metal we had we still couldn't equalize the two at thier current states with out having the most massive constriction ever, which is exactly what cause The Roman Empire to fall into the Dark Ages. So obviously that is a bad idea.

  • Well I'll say this, if all that I've seen of this Ron Paul on youtube is real, and it sure seems to be, he's got my vote and the rest of my family too, even tho ( and i'll say it ) I voted for Obama, and I'll say this too I voted for GW his second term, and what a BOOB he was, anyhow, I try and vote for whom I think will do the will of the ppl, and the best for the ppl, in the case of GW I was really wrong, and Obama, well it yet to be seen, but Ron Paul has my next block of votes, I SWEAR

  • @Riddlerx333x Refer to Woodrow WIlsons laments

  • Its like he was talking to a wall. Did Bernake understand or hear any of this?

  • You are wrong. The fed is a cartel. A series of competeing banks working together in a monopolistic fashion. the people who ran those monopoly banks were the same people who wrote the legislation for creating the Federal Reserve! Dont you see the obvious? We have the Memiors, we have the journals, and editorials! We have the evidence, dont you see?

  • Whenever I have herd Ron Paul speak, he always seems to have nothing but the best interests of the American people in mind and I cant understand why you would rather have War mongers like Bush and Obama, I’m pretty confident you would be in a much better place if Paul in charge. I’m sorry, but if he is not your President in 2012… you are all fucked in the head!

  • @utesonline Agreed. Ron Paul is a good man, but people are not into the truth for some reason... The Fed Reserve is a crime syndicate. A syndicate that runs the country and the presidents are puppets for them.

  • @utesonline You see this very question you have presented me and the community of youtube with baffles me to an infinite degree!

  • GO DOCTOR RON PAUL!!

  • For example, if we produce a given number of cars and had a very strong currency, those cars might sell for five thousand dollars on average. With our current weak currency, they might sell for twenty thousand on average. However, the country that payed twenty thousand dollars per car and produced the same amount of cars is not more prosperous, they just have a weaker currency.

  • Sometimes weaker currencies are beneficial in international economic trade. Lower currency values make our exports more attractive to foreign buyers and our imports more expensive. This would spur increase domestic growth and demand for domestic goods. That's why we continuously buy from China because they (unfairly) keep their currency low, making their exports more attractive, though importing is difficult for them.

  • @getnbusy2nite Our farmers here in Australia hate our dollar being so high for the exact reason you stated

  • @getnbusy2nite that's why they haunt Africa for trade,Their dollars(African) are cheaper than their own(China).We find it to hard to deal with the African economies.They (China)doesn't...Guns for Oil..

  • PRICE OF OIL IN TERMS OF GOLD STABLE!?!?

    I can't post links because of error but data shows the same if not more velocity. This guy tells half truths. I don't doubt he's a smart guy but data does not lie.

    The total amount of gold ever mined is estimated at 165,000 metric tonnes. At $1000 per ounce that's only $5.8 trillion. We produce over $13 Trillion in goods.

    Any body else praising this guy an Economics Major? How about going for a Masters? Take Calculus or Matrix Algebra?

  • @getnbusy2nite You're making a big mistake there. The dollar value of all that we produce relative to gold is meaningless. If we tied money to gold, prices would come down to bring our production values into line with gold. The dollar values simply represent inflation. In the end, what determines wealth is the quantity of goods produced not their arbitrary dollar value.

  • @underdg22 Just to let you know I'm an econ grad on my way to grad school so I understand the quantity theory of money and fiat issues. (genuine thank you)

    I see the dangers of fiat currency, however it can also be beneficial when dealing in international economies.

    My only issue with the Gold standard Argument is that it can't be accomplished anymore. We could tie it to a basket of commodities but we would have to buy up and stockpile $7 trillion pushing up prices of those goods.

  • Ron Paul should become chairman of the finance committee in 2011

  • federal reserve: unconstitutional and immoral cartel

  • @scott04la : HAHAHA. The Fed acts to control inflation and unemployment: two things that directly affect the well being of the American people. How is this unconstitutional???

    And apparently you don't know what a cartel is.

  • @bdl108 Apparently you don't know what a cartel is; have you read 'the creature from jeckyll island?' It's too bad those of us in favor of liberty always have to explain everything; yes, the fed has some lofty goals, but ask yourself if it achieves its goals or if it creates and exacerbates problems. Also, how can a central bank protect from unemployment? There's no reason in that statement. The fed hurts the poor and middle class by inflating and debasing the dollar. Wake up man.
