i was, for sure, during that election. Looking back it makes me sick.

- So, would there be inflation or deficit spending without the FED? Please explain my misinformation. It makes your "argument" even less compelling to attack me personally. It almost makes it seem like you don't really have a point and need to insult me to try to convince people of a lie. Will Congress end the fed? Not unless we make them. You should try and make a point before you end up looking like the dumbass....

How many more people know what the Fed really is now than a year and a half ago? RP opened eyes that didn't know they were closed with logical concepts. It's a perpetual fight that will never be over, and for you to passively say "get real", is counterproductive . Say what you mean and mean what you say. You should never feel hopeless if you know you are on the side of right. Do you know that you are? It's the message not the man. You know the message, so stop focusing on the man.

it's a war of ideas, so it's about speaking the truth, in the face of bullshit. it's the only weapon we have against it. if people don't want real change, they won't get it. i just had to object to a comment like "get real" or "wake up", when it's obvious that the comment is from someone on our side. If you are hopeless, that's you. Don't spread around your hopelessness, cure it.

Wake up from what, reality? Bernanke had no answer for what was the truth (he agreed inflation is a "tax"), and he shrugged his fucking shoulders after being called out for executing the final blows of the "dollar bubble" . He basically queued Barney Frank, like "next question please". That's what happens when the (re)public's money is in a private bank. Just because Americans would rather watch the Bachelor than C-Span, it doesn't translate to RP not doing his part. Your antipathy reeks.
