Ron Paul - CPI since 1800

[OwMyHymen]

That's not really evidence of anything. The numbers here can easily be nothing more than coincidence. A cause and effect relationship can't really be extrapolated from this.

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is willing to turn us away from our path toward economic collapse and chaos. All of the others offer more of the same failed policies.. All of the other candidates offer us the very UNREAL idea that government can fix our lives and give us all a fairy tale. Ron Paul is the only one who is grounded in reality. Let's support the one who accepts that the reality of the Constitution and that freedom is the only solution to the human condition.

Deflation is bad too, y'all.

I was at the TEXAS Straw poll today (9/1/07) and paid 100 Dollars for two tickets to SUPPORT RON PAUL. When we arrived we were not allowed in. It will be on YouTube later this week. The Ft Worth Police even threaten to "Take Action" against my wife for asking for a refund if they were not going to let us in. The GOP first fixed it by only allowing elected officials and delegates to vote then when they saw RON PAUL had 10X the support there they closed the polls early.

It's like someone or a group of people are trying to kill the value of the dollar...like a society that wants to make the dollar obsolete to make room for something crazy like the Amero...a society comprised of main stream media, power hungry bankers, and politicians...nah...that's crazy...

That's right, we only had a remnant of Gold backed currency in 1971.

[soulmantim]

that must be what that line on the right is...

[jdmack2000]

FDR made Gold illegal to own so for all intents and purposes we left the Gold Standard to currency stabilization in 1933

[ProPundit]

We didn't go off the gold standard until 1971, Bretton Woods, look it up I'm glad you support Ron Paul, but when you make a video that is nothing more than a graph, at least make sure the graph is correct.

[looncraz]

1933 is when gold became virtually illegal to own and use as legal tender. Other developments permitted the banks to back a dollar with less gold than the value shown on the bill, thereby leading to instant inflation as subsequent ripple effects took hold. In 1971, *NO* gold was offered to support the value of the dollar, making it a piece of paper in force merely by law.

[JiveDadson]

Time-line: In 1933, FDR confiscated Americans' gold, giving them a $20 paper note for every ounce. It was the biggest robbery ever. European central banks could still redeem paper dollars for gold, but the price of an ounce was soon raised to $35. In the late 60's US silver coins were debased. Then in '71, Nixon "temporarily" quit redeeming dollars for gold for foreign banks.

[PADRAEG]

I agree with your comment, which makes this 'video' a complete waste of time. AND, seems to blame the Fed for inflation. Surely true to some extent, but your points are much more relevant, and demonstrable from this useless CHART, ie, NOT a video. It s/n/b posted here.

[1911trigger]

That chart looks like Ron Paul's popularity numbers.

[looncraz]

Except this chart shows some minor dips :-)

[addisonandamber]
