THE BAILOUT: Rep. Ron Paul - Bailout Bill Will Make Things Much Worse

[shenglonglin]

i just fucked a hooker in her ass and she paid me the money.

[skaterkid445566]

I've never seen the guy so worked up, LOL

[skunkworks226]

i just realized that ron paul's angry face is very scary

[bschou]

@thetvuser666 No, no the reason this happened is the Federal Reserve and it's artificial setting of interest rates at WAY too low a level. The banks would not have made the kinds of loans they did without the Fed interfering in the market. We need the regulation ON THE FED. Don't allow them to monetize debt or set interest rates extremely

[sfjeff1089]

@xMaXiMuSx - By the way, you could almost draw a correlation between inflation and making risky asset bets, but it is asset inflation, a completely different type. Asset Inflation is actually based on Assets going up in "Value" not as a side effect of money supply growth, but rather based on regressive policies that try to spur growth, but instead create bubbles. Middle class savings shrink as money pools with the rich even as large scale risky financial maneuvers become more common.

[sfjeff1089]

@xMaXiMuSx - oops. Overpost. In any case, whether we should let banks get too big to fail and what happens when they get that way are two completely separate issues. Stiglitz and Warren Buffet both were talking about this 10 years ago, but both have the "let's find a solution first" mentality now. Ron Paul draws up an imaginary relationship between inflation and making risky bank bets and proposes making the banks pay no matter what innocents get hurt.

[bschou]

@sfjeff1089 No. The problem is the federal reserve. It sets interest rates at levels WAY too low. This causes the MASSIVE malinvestment and opens up the door for the bad behavior. The Fed creating inflationary credit IS the ROOT CAUSE. The banks also do this risky behaviour because if the loans fail and the investment is bad the banks can just ask The Fed for a free handout. As long as the Federal reserve can cause mischief the big banks will contniue to profit at everyone else' expense.

[sfjeff1089]

@xMaXiMuSx - Maybe you are right (sort of), I am sure that he believes that rewarding bad behavior is a recipe for disaster, but Stiglitz made that point much more concisely during his discussion of the perils of Deregulation way before this happened. This video talks about *over* regulation and continues his quixotic chasing at the windmill of inflation when the problems are *under* regulation and the disappearance of the middle class.

I am not sure whether the big banks were

[sfjeff1089]

By the way, for a much more balanced perspective, look up Stiglitz or Warren Buffet on You Tube.

[sfjeff1089]

Ron Paul cannot possibly believe that banks took large derivatives positions because of their over-regulation or because they had too much money. This video convinced me that he is just fundamentally dishonest.

[GnomesAmok]

@sfjeff1089

TOO TRUE

[xMaXiMuSx]

@sfjeff1089

no they took them because of the goverment guarantees.. You should research him a little more..

[xMaXiMuSx]

@thetvuser666

NO.... They were stealing because the goverment made all the quarantees, basically they quaranteed everything Wall street did.. There was no market or fear of failure/losses regulating.. They had all the beaucrats regulating it.. 

[FOXnewsAlien]

OH shut up. we need 56 billion more for trains to get this economy rolling. I dont have a job, you think they will hire me? I am disabled; the ALJ threw my medical note from the doctor out and I was denied. This system is a JOKE and nothing you can do about it! Now SHUT UPPPPPPP! SLAVES for the culling!

[1dgg9h4dr6ppp8]

truthfully, I don't think this dude is that smart, but compared to the other presidential candidates, he is better. in 2012, if dude runs, I'll vote for him.

[mit26chell]

@1dgg9h4dr6ppp8 It might not be that he's the most brilliant man that's ever walked the earth, but he's certainly far more of an intellectual, philosophic type than anyone else in Washington, including the current president ;)

[jscott2700]

Of course, all of my remarks about how all politicians, be they Demonrat or Republiscum, are nothing but the vomitous, parasitic, lying, thieving ooze crapped out of the rectum of humanity who are absolute wastes of human flesh with no value to humanity whatsoever who should simply take their spots in Hell right now to burn for eternity... exclude Ron Paul. The only honest, consistently principled, member of that House who actually took his oath to uphold the Constitution seriously.

[dskillz1]

Ron Paul telling it like it is. Too bad the sheeple are busy watching Bridezillas.

Fools.

[chicago618]

A political prophet.

[Ghost9909]

Ron Paul is THE MAN. I need to register Republican in case he runs for President in 2012 so I can vote for him in the primary. I regret to this day I didn't know about him in 2008.

[jhiken]

Ron Paul constantly humiliates Bernanke the skunk.

[wesleypipesbk]

The only thing these elitist care about is money so hit them where it hurts ,dont do business with big banks, any bank that got a bail out ,screw em.....dont use credit cards,avoid debt at all costs, save your money and make the banks pay you interest ....its the only way ....live way below your means ,and prepare for the worse.

[Gahillbillyusa]

I like that he dont throw a lot of BS. Easy to understand where he is coming from.

[TheFathersAdvocate]

To liken Ron Paul to Herbert Hoover is the equivalent of comparing Martin Luther King Jr. to Adolf Hitler. Almost polar opposites when it comes to economic theory/civil rights.

No action taken by the Federal Reserve will prevent a depression. It will only delay it, and intensify it with inflation!

GDP is not as important as the Dollar Index. Never confuse GDP with economic prosperity. You can borrow your way to a high GDP, since it includes consumption.

The dollar is what counts.

[richgriffin77]

Ron Paul, Russ Feingold, and Dennis Kucinich: The only politicians with any balls today.

[KyndestKid]

And how would Ron Paul explain how he'd fill the 3-4 trillion dollar shortfall in GDP over the next 2-3 years with the economic theory? The government is the spender of last resort and if we wouldn't have had the TARP, TALF, stimulus package the entire global economy as we know it would've alredy collapsed because of the commercial paper market. Please American's educate yourself before listening to another right wing idiot from TEXAS! Ron Paul is the Herbert Hoover of the 2008 economic collapse

[myliverwurst]

you're asking for an immediate and painless fix for problems incurred by a failed economic policy of over two decades...can't be done.

The trajectory now is to encumber this nation with more debt, debase the dollar (already happening) and destroy the economy by following flawed monetary policy.

The government was never supposed to be spender of last resort. What is clear is that what has been done up to now is not and will not work, and I believe the writing is on the wall.

[vinoa]

so to you further inflating your currency is a way of ENDING a recession? if you think about it the world's been in a recession since the Fed was created. money has been steadily losing value just ask anyone over the age of 80 because they've seen first hand just how great a job of fighting inflation the Fed has done. Ron Paul is as far from "another right wing idiot from Texas". the man is a medical doctor by profession so give him a little bit of credit, he knows his shit

[NWAsMostWanted]

check out the 1921 recession. One of the worst recessions in history yet the economy recovered in 1YEAR!!! Why the government did nothing and allowed for the market to correct itself. The great depression was never fixed with gov't intervention the war fixed it. Even fdr secretary of treasury said that all the stimulus passed did not help the economy. Printing more money will devalue the dollar. If you look back in history Weimar Germany did exactly what we are doing now. NO MORE SPENDING!!!

[Paxilman7]

Dr. Paul is the only one who makes any sense

[zacharycollier]

He should have been president, although being pro-life is a huge issue still for many.

[valeforj]

He is pro life, but places emphasis on states rates. Should be dictated by state not fed level.

[PatsBlog]

Great point: You can't fix a problem by doing more of the same actions that caused the problem in the first place. What's wrong with those guys in Congress? Good grief, what's wrong with US for continuing to put them in office!!!  We need to get some good third party candidates in state offices, then Congress, then take over the Executive branch!!!

[GQPROPHET]

Ron Paul SHOULDVE been the new Presidential Elect .... A shame he didnt get the votes .

[dbmcmillan]

The country would be so much better right now. Unfortunately we didn't have any choice this election. McCain was as bad or worse than Obama, and would have ruined the Republican party as well as the country. At least with Obama the Republican party has a chance to come back and fix things, if they are conservatives like Ron Paul, in 2-4 years time.

[w6p7a]

How the FREEK did we not elect this guy president!? Ron Paul spent more time in this video actually addressing real issue(s) than Obama did in 18 months of campaigning!

[wakenjake420]

we should have listened to this guy during the debates,,but people will buy a dream rather than substance

[p849]

Thumbs up my friend. You win an award:)

[Silicondoc]

@wakenjake420 It's not the people's fault, the lone dove of truth isn't enough substance for the people to hear. What we have is the overabundance of the same pack of lying pols dancing to the same tune, so they can continue their giant destructive pigfests. So the people are roundly and soundly deceived, on a massive scale. 537 (cong and the 2 execs) blabbering pols, and we get a half dozen with Ron's warning... This is why the people BLEW IT - skilled liars in vast majority.

[PAULLEYTON]

Why does this bailout have nothing to do with free market capitalism? Does the subprime crisis have nothing to do with predatory credit institutions giving credit to people who would obviously default?

Ron Pauls arguments dont hold up. He's just another unfettered free market Friedmanite and thats the philosophy that has let the wealth trickle up to the top since Reagan and Thatcher creating a new superclass of oligarchs. Ron Pauls ideas mean more of the same and thats the last thing we need.

[2connection]

Ron Paul has just officially endorsed CHUCK BALDWIN of the constitution party for President !!!!

[n0sh0w]

this paulleyton is a limey brit! find out about ur central bank before u say anything about the(not)federal(no)reserve.

[Phreylan]

Are you allowed to create as much money as you want out of thin air? No.. That is a special privilege granted to the Fed and chartered banks. The unnatural interest rates and fiat money create a false boom in business, increasing demand for goods without a pool of saving against which to sell those goods.

The entire economic turmoil is because of a government-protected and rigged monetary system... How can you have a free market, if the entire basis of exchange is rigged in favor of banks?

[deec269]

ThIS IS URGENT!

Does someone have Marcy Kaptur's Email? Lets email her and see if she can get together with Ron Paul and get a March started. Tell her that we are here and we have our Marching Boots ON! please copy and paste so others can know! Please send her email it to my message inbox. Thanks Paste and copy to as many comment boxes as you can HELP

[bassin419]

The people should not pay them a dime they keep saying it bad but is it as bad as they say.fact is no its only bad for them for screwing people over the government(all the people) owns the property so sorry wall street, fannie, freddy pay your own debts you expected us to while you screwed the people now how does it feel. sieze there accounts all of the owners, ceo, ect... and pay there debts.give the people the money if your going to give money!

[PresidentRich]

You can tell he's angry, especially at the end. He always keeps his calm demeanor but he must be furious inside.

[fukeweup]

RON PAUL 08!!!!!!!!!

[passionatecutie]

We should put Ron Paul as President....

What the hell are people thinking between McCain, and Obama......

He is the only one who makes remotely any sense......

[koolvi]

Ron Paul seems to be the only person in both houses of the US Congress that is brave enough to state the truth. The problem is the FED and everyone from McCain, Obama and Nancy Pelosi all know this. The Emergency Economic Rescue Act of 2008 is one of the most dangerous pieces of US legislation since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.

[kenshin80012]

Ron Paul is the fuckin man. I like how at the end he just walks off. Like, "Time Expired" shut up bitch, I'm done anyways. hahah

[tallguy75you]

ron paul knows the deal.

[muffinma79]

ron paul is such a tool

[Moonman13w]

Your ignorant.

[isthatfunny]

That's why I love this guy, we are looking at the great statesmen of our time, And we aren't allowed to vote for this man ? We are being led down the cattle shoot and prodded into world disaster by a small group of greedy bankers.The revolution has only just begun, the American people stand on principles of good moral ground,and these stooges that are taking over our land,prosperity, and freedom, will get "their" justice on judgement day

[daaayz]

Amen Ron!

[chrisadatl]

God I love RP. Seriously... I just can't understand why he isn't in charge.

God help this country.

[junkie4vids]

Dump the Bailout Plan by Bush and Pelosi. Set up a new committee with economists, financial experts (like Bill Gross and Jeff Gundlach), and put people like Ron Paul and Jack Kemp in charge of overseeing the committee of experts. Then we may have a solution that will help the economy - not just temporarily prop up the stock market. Tell your Congressman or Congresswoman.

[junkie4vids]

Ron Paul is correct in rejecting this Bailout Bill. Vote out ANY politician who supports this Bailout Bill, whether Democrat or Republican. Here's why: (1) the bailout plan continues the faulty entitlement policy via the "foreclosure protection" clause, (2) exhorbitant executive compensation is NOT capped - only taxed more, but who cares if you make $9 billion, and (3) the advisory board are the same folks who got us into this mess, including the Secretary of HUD.

[therealcaptobvious]

apparently he was right. The markets went up 485 points today. Oooooh. I'm not even a RP supporter myself. But golly, he at least knows his SUBSTANCE.

[boots920]

His weapon of choice is common sense, don't cost a penny does it ? If I had the money I would pay big bucks for RON PAUL.

[texanpilot23]

Ron Paul is economically tha smartest congressman, he predicted everything happened in tha past 2 weeks and he predicted this 4 years ago.. You would think liberal wacko's would like ron paul.. he was against the war.. it just proves liberals on here calling him a tool.. hates RON PAUL because he is for free market and capitalism.. these liberals are 4 socialism! Ron paul is the only true candidate 4 change. If sum1 has a problem with him, they have a prob w. tha constitution and free markets

[wg40504]

Amen congressman Paul

[Paseooo98765]

@npdom15, u must be a f***ing nutjob urself.. here this saviour of yours is trying to save ur pathetic American ass n yet ure still hurling insults at him. i pity ur intelligence..

[npdom15]

I pity your inability to use capital letters and proper punctuation.

[Vanz73]

This is the kind of leader USA need Ron Paul..Tsk,tsk,tsk, I dont get it why the American people waited 8 years of dictatorship,Americans were puppets of the Bush Admin...5000 dead US soldiers,gas prices up,healthcare sucks,jobless americans, ailing seniors not getting care, homeless vets, America in recession and depression, who's to blame? Americans who waited 8 years, if this is in other countries like CANADA,JApan,Australia,Germany­, no way BUsh will last 2 years....Power to The People...

[yamamushi]

It was great watching him walk off, he stormed off in anger, you could tell he was really pissed off about the whole situation.

[sq7]

plus banging of the table, looks real cool huh

RON PAUL 2008!

[boots920]

Its never been so clear before, FREEDOM free markets its the only way to live. LIVE FREE OR DIE REAL HARD !!!

[tromboneblowmaster]

Amen!

[thammer1]

Wow you people voted for MCcain over Ron Pual. Wow no wonder people think America is dumb.

[shiftstart]

I have a feeling his speech on the floor changed the minds of few Democrats and Republicans which resulted in a bust. Preach on Dr. Paul!

[84jamesp]

The only candidate speaking the truth.

[luke666808g]

candidate for what? People had the chance to vote for him and decided they'd rather get butt hurt by politics as usual...

[84jamesp]

Agreed, problem was the media blocked him out. If he would of gotten the same attention as obama or mccain he would of won. they didn't want that too happen. its not the peoples fault they have been lied to for so long

[ragexgod]

YEEEEEEEEES! Someone had to say it. I'm loving Ron Paul.

[KyleRoku]

At least there is one objective politician in Washington.

[npdom15]

If he wasn't such a fucking tool he'd be a viable candidate.

[alexlane3]

Yeah, because if a childlike bitch on youtube thinks RP is a tool, it must be true. If only he were less concerned about truth, and spent more time coddling ignorant kids, he would have had a better chance.

[avoozl07]

npdom15-the only tool is the vibrator up your ass.

[npdom15]

Spoken like a true Ron Paul nut job, now go donate money blindly to a racist.

[chewbaca1989]

I and black supporters met and spoke with Dr. Paul when he came to L.A. for the Tonight Show. The man is no racist, my folks are Mexicans.

Donate to the Campaign for Liberty!

Thank you Dr. Paul!

[boots920]

He's been trying to get out the message of FREEDOM for 30 plus years. I'm on the outside looking in, he's the most sincere politician in the last 100 years. There's many a country that would pay for RON PAUL. I'm jealous, you good people get the cool ones served up on a silver platter.

[boots920]

Who's the "nut job" the one who lies or the one that tells the truth. M3 hasn't been reported for two years because its too "SCARY". The good American people can take it straight up, only the snake oil salesman tells them it will be so sweet.

[npdom15]

The majority of people are not for the bailout... Ron Paul is simply getting on the side of the polls right now. Now I don't disagree with him on the economy, which I have always agreed with him on, but rather his foreign policy ideals which are just down right dangerous.

[boots920]

Foreign policy ideals...let's bring the nice troops home

What's your plan ?

[npdom15]

How about not fucking over a region of the world that we are already invested in? Get real and don't drink the kool-aid.

[boots920]

If the US morons were running the war without a credit car, then you could continue endless war.  Sad fact, when the US dollar goes to 0, how do ya pay for the war stuff. Might as well bring them home now.

[npdom15]

You are intelligent and just made a good point, well done.

[avoozl07]

npdom15-you keep talking? Why don't you stick the dick back in your mouth and give your ass a rest.

[npdom15]

If you use grammar being a tough guy is much more effective. Get a fucking life nut job.

[avoozl07]

npdom15-hahahah yeah I'm the nutjob and yet you call ron paul names when he predicted your economic crisis. STFU you damn moron. Your the reason your country is rotting away and should be ashamed of yourself. Do the world a favor and NEVER breed.

[npdom15]

Capitalize Ron Paul if you have any respect for him. He did not predict this, he merely stated obvious fact about the value of the dollar. And its "You're" not "Your. Why should I be ashamed? I'm not the one trying to give billions of dollars to greedy CEO's. Sorry to correct you on so much but you represent a large part of American society that is just pissed and uninformed. I believe it is you that should never breed for the long term reproductive success of humans.

[avoozl07]

I'm Canadian not American. Perhaps you should get your facts straight before trying to correct my grammar. You are part of the problem, ignotance + arrogance = npdom15

[aghamirz06]

Fine you are a Canadian moron, my bad.

[Paseooo98765]

yo motherfucker,i couldn't have agreed more with avoozl07 that you are simply an imbecile, who likes to pick fights with every1 simply to get attention. were u from a broken family or sth shithead? If ure so great n "think" that you could be better than ron paul, go ahead show people that u're able to offer a solution, instead of being part of the problem. If not, can u please just shut ur motherfucking broke pie-'HOLE'!(Oops does any1 detect any spelling or grammar error up there? do u npdom15?

[npdom15]

You sir are a tool, just down right foolish nut job. Have a nice life.

[johnlvs2run]

awesome for sure

today was a major victory

[thehurt]

That was awesome!

[barfo281]

And still people ignore this man. He warned about this for many years.

[revolutionvendetta22]

Fuck yeah Ron! Keep speaking the truth!

[KnivesAndLint]

TELL EM' RON!

[mcarels]

WOW, THE U.S. IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

[eyewitness043]

AMEN
