Ron Paul opening statement to Bernanke at FSC - 2-27-2008

Why does it say Mr. Paul!!! He earned the right to be called Dr. It should say, "Dr. Ron Earnest Paul the only honest person in the room"

fuck yes! go RON PAUL!

This guy's got some good ideas and an equal number of bat shit crazy ideas. None of his legislation ever even gets out of committee because he's never willing to compromise on anything. He's such a hardcore ideologue, it makes him the most ineffective legislator in congress.

Ya but unfortunatly some people stick to what they believe and dont bend when power comes walking down.

There's no point in having beliefs that never get implemented. The only place Paul's ideas gain any traction is with the crazy people on youtube.

Ignorant answer thats all I can say read what you wrote! "There's no point in having beliefs that never get implemented."Its like telling people If your thoughts aren't what mainstream money and power want then don't have him. For some people as well we don't need Our legislators making new laws every second day. Encroach our freedom more Pauls ideas are not really his either so to say they all gain traction on youtube is a fallacy. Pauls views stem almost entirely from the Austrian economics

List me one fiat currency that stood the test of time.

I can show you many civilizations that deteriorated due to the debasement of their currency, starting with Roman denarius losing its silver content.

Don't trust Keynes or Bernanke just because your economics teacher taught you it. The Austrian school rules history and we are reaping the fruits of ignoring this.

The problem isn't so much not being on a gold or silver standard, but that the FED manipulates the economy TOO much...

But one of the Fed's main 'manipulation' tools is to lower or raise interest rates to banks---they can only afford to offer 'easy money' to banks because they can print dollars without gold, silver or commodity backing. Totally immoral and destructive.
