  • Make sure you watch your pressTV videos Max!

    I like pressTV content and agree with most stances taken by its hosts and guests

    BUT

    They are draconian and make it pointless to watch the videos cause most need approval to post a comment and when you make a valid non hostile pro Iran comment on their videos they dont bother approving them

    This channel gets so few views on its videos because of this unreasonable level of useless comment filtering

    Let all comments be posted and moderate the pages

  • I think tha MH is wrong regarding Austrian School and Ron Paul.

    1- Ron Paul will not end Social Security

    2- He proposes concurrent currencyes. You will be able to use gold and silver in contracts

    It will not help the banks i can tell you

see all

  • M. Hudson is a typical keynsian, that has never even read what austrian economic is all about. First of all austrianeconomic followers does not hate govt. they just hate govt. spending. But they are usually very eager to say that govt. role is to protect the individual, regardless of how many that want to make that individual harm. Second he says austrians whats to deregulate banks, but thats not the truth, it is deregulation of the market, not only one special interest in the market.

  • @jimlovesgina Never mind. I heard libertarianism when he said Austrian economics.

  • That isn't how I view libertarianism at all. I was thinking free markets but with rules against one person negatively effecting another persons property. The gun analogy would violate property rights and be punishable. Also, a limited government that punishes people if found to be guilty of breaking the rules. If the government has no power to give to anyone, then it cannot be corrupted. Am I way off with this thinking? I am a bit puzzled.

  • i read a lot of austrian economics and i also read keynesian so i can read both sides of the argument.... I never saw or heard once in austrain economics that the austrians want the banks in charge... THIS IS TOTALLY FALSE. i like michaels hudsons view on things, but he may be wrong on this one... especially on gold... austrians want gold domestic and internationally, its the only currency... i was shocked when he said this.. i dont know where he got his information from

  • @TheMystic2100 How so? Gold & Silver are finite sources and who else BUT the rich would hold the most gold & silver? You really don't think they would coddle their stashes until deflation hits so low that an ounce of it could buy a car or a small home?

  • @etdias Are there any links that support these statements that you're making? Anything that indicates that Ron Paul says he would or wouldn't do the things you listed? If so, please, post it.

  • @grecorivera941 come on ....what are you stupid???

  • the american fed and its military is going it's biggest downfall..the criminals on wall street are eventualy going to get hunted down like thre festering criminals they are and they wont get any pitty out of me when they get what they totaly deserve.. and then like this man says things can get back to some kind of nomality .. Oh also RON PAUL 2012

  • gold forces countries to behave & not to go to war. right. as good as gold.

  • @mrzack888 Vote them out then. Has it occurred to you that voting for NO government has never been on the ballot.
