@hoodoo961 The Austrians have not merely predicted a monetary crisis. They have predicted that irresponsible monetary policy will lead to a financial crisis. It is the misguided government/central bank response to that financial crisis that could lead to a monetary crisis.

Thank You For Posting This.

I am becoming a big fan of Ron Paul, 2012

@marcdaddy33 He is still VERY ELOQUENT till this day, maybe not as sharp as he used to be, but who would be? He has forgotten more about economics that 97 percent of the people in this country know.

AHHHHH UHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAH UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, what a douche

[ThePonchoVilla]

Has anyone counted the number of times Mr. Partee says the word "uh" ?

[marcdaddy33]

WOW.... I've never heard Ron Paul sound so PASSIONATE.

If he were 30 years younger, speaking like this, he would be a shoe in.

@thefredsays You can still have loans with a 100% reserve bank. Also hoarding of money won't effect the overall economy.

[thefredsays]

@vincentca2004 that would be deflationary and actually create unemployment from hoarding of money. Thats a terrible economic policy, capitalism needs credit to run. Why would anyone buy stock.

This pro-Fed guy is the worst public speaker I have ever heard. Holy christ mustard is he awful. "AHHHHH...sentence" "UHHHHHH...sentence AHHHHHHH UHHHHH" Unbelieveably annoying especially after a smooth and cogent Dr. Paul.

[evangrogers]

This is Paul in his finest. I wish there were more videos where his youth bolstered his spirit.

His age now proves his conviction, but, here, his youth gives flare to his debating points.

@saturnined I might add not just a few fed-up neo-cons, just that they are already registered republican.

@SwiftyMorgun1 Check out Blue Republican on Facebook, Swifty. It's Democrats, Liberals, and Independents who are gong to hold their nose, register republican, for one time only, in order to get Paul elected in the GOP primary, to defeat Obama, and by extension, Bush.

We are going to beat this duopoly party system at their own game!!
