Dennis Kucinich talks about Steve Zarlenga

[mariatechnosux]

The fact is that Zarlengo does not want to abolish the Fed. His illogic is that an already corrupt government can do a better job running an already corrupt FR. In other words, replacing the devil you know for the devil you know even better. It's disgusting how the pretends to be this populist economist when he's in fact an apologist and a stooge for the FR System.

[PewPewPlasmagun]

all respect to ron paul, but his economic views are simply inferior to kucinichs understanding. ron paul for president, dennis for economic minister.

[MsCampobasso]

Kucinich sold us out on the "health Care" plan which he said prior this is not the bill I wanted to support". KKucinich's wife Elizabeth was hired to become Zarlenga's assistant at the Chicago-based American Monetary Institute. Something smells fishy here. !st, dennis is NOT for the HC reform bill, now he is?

[ourearthhome]

As I understand it Zarlenga is proposing to abolish the Fed's ability to create money based on debt, move the money creation function back to the US Treasury where money can be created debt or at least interest free simply by spending it into circulation by paying for government services without requiring taxation to pay back any principle or interest. My opinion is that if we are not talking about this we are not talking about anything of substance, merely distraction like AIG bonuses.

[daddabbo]

@ourearthhome to focus on one is to not spread and weaken your forces.

[jsb199019]

WHY DIDN'T THIS IDIOT ENDORSE RON PAUL! so instead he endorses Mr. one world spread the wealth obama... this guy talks out of both sides of his ass!

[wolfhybred]

He's a Democrat.He and Ron are friends

[wolfhybred]

Dennis is one of the good guys no matter what party he's in.

[LookBetter4Ever]

He did vote 'yes' for the Auto Bailout!

[wolfhybred]

Are you sure? I just watched a Cspan video of him raising hell against it.

[LookBetter4Ever]

yes im sure, you can check it out! he did vote against the financial bailouts but he voted for the Auto Bailout! He is a Congressman in the Cleveland area and theres alot of auto and steel there! So he did what his voter base wanted!

[wolfhybred]

That is what a representive is supposed to do.

The first bailout for the banks those idiots voted against the people. But of course they were threatened with marshall law. And Bush passed the Auto bailout wether or not they voted for it.

[LookBetter4Ever]

Thats not what they are supposed to do. They are supposed to follow the Constitution!

[wolfhybred]

I will be honest and have to say i will check it out but I think by the people for the people says it. He represents the people in his state and thier state has a vote. As yours does. lol The fed would love to rid the congress of Dennis and Ron.

[mariatechnosux]

@wolfhybred A question to all you Kucinich/Zarlengo groupies:why does Elizabeth Kucinich wine and

dine at the world bank, if these people are supposedly these anti-bankster populists? Oooh, but you didn't know she was hanging out at the World Bank, now, did you!

[jobrien2001]

Screw Kucinich, if he was so enthusiastic to look into the fed and monetary policy... Why the hell did he endorse Obama and not Ron Paul?

[SIERRAHPBT]

TOTALLY AGREE!

[SIERRAHPBT]

TOTALLY AGREE!

[MickeyD203]

holy shit.  I never knew Kucinich was for monetary reform, and he isn't a gold bug -- assuming bringing in Zarlenga means he is sympathetic towards greenbackers -- like Ron Paul. Kucinich is my new favorite Congressman.

[atrickpay11]

MickeyD203: Ron Paul is not a "greenbacker."

[drewantarctic]

he sounds like a libertarian. thats a good thing.

[sfsdfd]

He's my Representative. I voted for him, and I'm proud of that fact.

[bukakkesake]

Your a great man dennis, Im glad your in congress.

[libertyeconomics]

AMEN, CONGRESSMAN!

[tonylee1973]

I think people are catching on to the debt and fed reserve. But I worry its to late.

[DaisyNavidson]

I'm going to post this video in a bulletin at MySpace. My MySpace name is "MonopolyCapitalism-BLOCKS-Sup­ply/DemandCapitalism". I know Mr. Zarlenga feels that Libertarians are the ones who oppose the AMI's monetary reform plans, but in reality the Libertarians (who donated heavily to and enthusiastically promoted Dennis K. just as much as Ron Paul) seem now to be on the same side as the AMI - with the exception of the minor detail of backing the currency with gold - or, at the very least, silver.

[AmericanMonetaryInst]

Daisy - its not libertarians who oppose our plan, Many support it. Rather its those who believe the Austrian School have done their monetary homework. Thats where methodology problems reside. libs who read our book are weaned off gold commodity money and agree that theories must be backed up by facts. They care about ideas, and justice and about "getting it right" so we can work with them. I almost joined the libertarians in the 1970s but Ayn Rand warned us to stay away from them!

[Gnarlodious]

You go Dennis.

[DTHGFLondon]

Correction to previous: Great news that this issue is now on the agenda in the USA and that Stephen Zarlinga's work is now being recognised. I first came across his work as he confirmed that Henry George's views on money reflected the conclusions that he had come to - that the creation of money is a proper function of government and is not to be confused with credit, banking or money lending all of which are proper to the private sector- good luck with the work!

This is Right On- If you really want to understand how maney works read the Lost science of Money!

[pocoapoco2]

And/or watch the video "Money as Debt" here on youtube.

[carbypw]

Hats of to Mr. Kucinich, Mr. Zarlenga, and many others who are tackling this 500 pound gorilla who's been ignored for far too long. At last, Gordon Gecho might have to find a real job that creates real wealth.

[toastedpiano]

WOW A-star fantastic, go Dennis Kucinich, Zarlenga needs to be heard desperately by more people, he and Richard C. Cook need to be part of a wider Congressional Coalition for monetary education, and reform. Too many people having heard and seen he various uploaded video material, come to the conclusion of a weights and measurements commodity form of money, that will only cause untold economic destruction. The mathematics of the creation of money and its social effects are far more important.

[SolaRoof]

Wow! I had not imagined that politicians are ready to look at changing the fundamentals of the economic system. This is really positive - I hope the Obama mantra "yes we can" will apply to such initiatives.

[Tommy012456]

The Lost Science of Money is one of the most important in our generation. It explains how we gained political freedom from Britain in 1776, but we failed to gain monetary freedom. That failure has lead directly to our current monetary disaster.

The American Monetary Institute provides the education we need to remove the heavy debt from our children. The hour is late, but there is a way to reduce and finally eliminate the national debt. Read the book. You will not be disappointed.

[eurojamie]

There is not time to reinvent the wheel on the run. Stephen Zarlenga and the AMI have already done the research on what has actually worked in the past, and from this they have done the thinking on what must be changed now to avoid tragedy. There can be no sounder basis from which to proceed than this. The American Monetary Act sets out what is required to restore what has been taken from us all, over generations. Most importantly, it will put time on the side of humanity, instead of against it.

[CarlHerman]

Our nation will only have a brighter future if it includes monetary reform (check the American Monetary Institute). Dennis is speaking for this; Ron Paul is close to understanding but makes the error of wanting to link our money to a commodity (money will fluctuate with the value of the commodity - an unnecessary and dangerous variable). The benefits are about a trillion dollars a year shifted from the financial institutes' profits to the public good.

[steven8551]

Americans (and the rest of the world) will be able to avoid a lot of suffering if we can get a just and enlightened monetary policy. Stephen Zarlenga and others at the American Monetary Institute can support Kuncinich (and rest of us, who also have to become educated on this big issue) with governmental reform. At the heart of the issue is how money is created and comes into circulation. Our present system favors the bankers, but we can change that to one that favors main street. Steven Walsh

[geo1839]

Kucinich is one of the few politicians who understands not only that the money system is an important issue, but also that the "hard money" is not the solution. He comes from the great tradition of Tom L Johnson.

[Dapip33]

This is an important speech. Hopefully more Democrats will listen to Dennis and Stephen Zarlenga's message.
