@americadashi, "Big" government doesn't have to do with the number of representatives, it has to do with the size of its budget and its influence in the economy. It also has to do with Federal government, as State governments are considered smaller (smaller budget), and country and city governments are even smaller.

Small government means less spending (as a percentage of GDP), and less centralization, not less representatives.

Good lord Geithner is full of hot air. Having him speak in a room will make the AC bill go up. I wanted to hear his answer to the first question.

ron paul has got a whacky fiscal ideology just like all you free marketeers, haha what a joke a free market never has existed never will exist, stop theorizing and live in reality. hes smart with some finer points i.e. anti military but contemporary conservative business ideologies are what have fucked us from the get go. government isn't the problem, the possibility of the corporate world to fuck with the political world is the most inherently stupid idea i have ever heard of

I felt stupid everytime ron paul got on TV and i didn't comprehend anything he was saying about the federal reserve and the economy because he only has a minute or two to explain his position. Found a really good site that cleared it up for me. hmscoop.com. Quick overview of banking and the federal reserve. If you're like me it might help to clear it up for you.

Why the fuck is more than half the committee not there? Washington is broken.

Any salesman knows how to start an answer with positive affirmations and validations of customer concerns. But only those who are GOOD at their job make the customer feel like he is on their side. Timothy Geithner is a HORRIBLE salesman.

I just don't get why people can't see that our current recession and proceeding credit crisis was caused by the Fed's artificially low interest rates in 2001-2003. Ron Paul is right on the fucking money.
