Ron Paul's answer to the President

[ZenMaster]

I hear you MAN..i'm sorry to anyone who gets offended by this- but god, most people are just straight up DUMB these days. lol..

These are rather simple to understand economics and history here..

Most people don't care.

How is their life different knowing this? They still wake up, day after day, fill up their hybrid, go to the movies, eat, and carry on their merry way. Don't give two shits about what the people in Congress are doing, they got elected so they must be the best for the job right? They are professionals, they know what they are talking about, we elected them so we don't have to worry about anything other than whats for dinner.

And this is what people in power want the masses to think. We got it under control, no need to worry, just vote for me next year.

Its typically more laziness than stupidity, MILF. Or maybe both, people just seem not to care. They don't need to know history, it doesn't affect them.

Its very simple. With such convenience and soft times, its easy to lose oneself to bliss ignorance. People in power know one thing, keep the public happy. As long as you don't take away all the luxuries and entertainment or instill the fear of losing it, the people will be happy, they won't care what you do until it personally affects them. Congress knows this, they operate behind closed doors and assure the public they are just going to make it that easier for them. No need to worry, we are here.

They are worried about the economy, this could ruin the good times and have people actually start investigating what our government is doing because the people are pissed. Tough times is the only catalyst to awakening. Hopefully, we get some things straightened out with our government with an eminent crisis, only then can things really change. Baptism through fire.

I can agree with the above, but the schism is we are relgated to one action, the vote. It starts with the local folks, the school board, the local judges, State representatives, etc. If the right people would get involved, maybe we could change things. But as you must know, money trumps honesty and all these people either get bought off or ran over by rich opponents, untill it gets down to the richest of the crooks. I mean, this election the presidential candidates will spend in excess of 500 Million bucks for a 400,000 dollar job. The money boys run the country, it's called an oligarcic plutochracy. End of story. Please tell me how to change it, Thanks. Bring back the guillotine.

Biden has been apart of the congress machine for many years. He is no different then all them scumbags, how can you fix this country without getting someone new for the job, Med?

Palin has been untouched to the machine, the grind of dirty politics. She has a track record of cutting unnecessary bureaucracy and toppling corruption. You have been swept up in the hateful drivel aimed to discredit her. All the petty, ridiculous slander and libel the liberals have fired at her were in response to their fear of her instilling ACTUAL change. Oh yes, they fear her greatly..She should be your girl, Medo.

Will House Republicans Get What They Want? By TheBrutalTruth

First lets determine what they want.

Instead of just buying the distressed assets they want to offer insurance to the banks (and thus collect premiums) on the assets.

The banks would pay the government for this insurance (thus generating some immediate revenue) but the government would have to pay out any claims.

However, this alternative, versus the sudden destruction of the dollar that the $700 Billion bail out represents is a hell of a lot more palatable than the alternative.

"Once you lose your freedom to fail, you also lose your freedom to succeed and you cease to be a free society. So we will continue to look at other alternatives."

- Representative Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas)

Come on Zenseeker, are you trying to tell me you'd be comfortable with her as POTUS, I mean, shit howdy.

She's not running for POTUS, but if she were, I would be thrilled to have her in office, encino man.

 

[VictorVIcious]

I really don't see this as all that complicated. We all know you can not continue to spend more money than you take in. I don't care how much credit is available. In his book, A Conneticutt Yankee in King Arthurs Court, the author tried to show some folks that didn't understand, its not how much you make it what you can buy with what you make that is important. Let the market crash, I would rather be broke then almost broke. I don't want my childrens grandchildren to have to pay for the mistakes of today and any 'rescue plan'. VV

 

[HotNSexyMILF]

Oh god. VV, what a good book.. have you seen the old school movie as well?

 

[medicineman]

Then I will take your advice with a huge grain of salt. She is barely capable of running a small town.

I really do like Ron Paul.I think he does a lot of good where he's at right now.He would make a good president, as well, but that's a moot point now.
