Ignore Ron Paul are the new marching orders?

[aldante]

[quote=Nor-LA-SD-GUY2]I like his Ideas about getting the heck out of these meaningless wars and just staying the heck out of the Middle East in general.
But while I am sure china deserves to be paid back the full value of every penny we borrowed (NOT!!) I think the gold standard would be a disaster at this point.
Also while the fed did disastrous things in not preventing the recent housing bubble (I still say they knew exactly what they were and are doing and really it’s their marching orders) although I am not quite sure why or what they are attempting to do.
(Really you honestly think Greenspan did not know exactly what he was doing ?)
But in reality The fed has presided over the most prosperous 100 years in any nation in history so…

Also I have no desire to go back to the robber baron days[/quote]

What would the last 100 years been like without the FED? There is a lot of reasons this country has done well specificly our natural resources. Central banking was tried in this country twice before and failed. There is no arguement from me that stong banks lead to a strong economy but to control the money supply? Speaking of which: Ron Paul just wants to make it legal to use GOLD AND SILVER to pay for goods and services. His conclusion is that they will eventually win out over FRN’s – that all. Why do we have to pay cap gains on gold and silver?? The consitution says that they are money.
If you are really curious about what the Robber Barons vis a vi Ron Paul – you should read THE LAW by Frederic Basiat. There is a PROPER ROLE for government. Its role is to protect individual liberty. Companies that are back by the US goverment take away our liberty. That is his problem with the size of Governemnet. How in the world can a little guy (let’s pretend someone who is VIRTUIOUS) start a bank when GS and MSDW recieve BILLIONS of $$ from the US government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is an example of how our government (even if is well intentioned) interferes with our lives.

Yes, I agree Arraya.

People are easily influenced and attitudes can shift over time.

I was talking about Ron Paul in the context of our media culture today.

But still we live in a television world. There’s a limit to how “old and folksy” can be marketed as attractive.

I read a paper about how politicians have to be attractive but not too attractive. Psychologically people will view beautiful politicians as fake. They want attractive candidates they can relate with. But people don’t mind beautiful movie stars because they know that films are fake and they want the sex appeal.

If I were an adviser to Michele Bachmann, I’d tell her to dress more simply. Like Cindy McCain, Michele Bachmann is too fashion conscious; and that could be a turn off to voters.

What’s interesting about businesses is that they are always looking for that marginal growth. They will go where the growth is. So their interests can change with demographics.

Man, that Ron Paul has appeal in the heartland. There is something about him that really resonates with the red states. I don’t know if it’s his inherently honest nature or what. But, I tell you what, people really love him.

That must be the reason he keeps winning straw polls over and over again with NO media support. His appeal with the fly over states is so strong he ALMOST beat Bachmann in her home state. That is how much people love is disposition. It’s so natural it markets itself. You don’t even need to talk it up. People just flock to him.

Our Debt (the Truth) it’s not sexy and it does not make a good sound bite.
The USA owns more than 80% of it’s own debt(well at least the US citizens personally do), China the biggest holder outside of the U.S.A owns the most but it’s still less than 8%.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/246958-guess-who-owns-the-most-u-s-debt-not-china
China really does not finance us WE DO !!
They are far more reliant of us than we are on them.
I will vote for the first candidate who will define the current problem correctly.
We have a chicken and egg problem, and definitely no one wants to talk about it.
You have to fix housing or wait for it to fix itself that is the only way you will get out of the current high unemployment problems (and no there are not too many houses at least not in socal).
