August Prediction

[felix rex]

This actually gets me more warmed up to Romney. Being able to pull off this type of crap should be a pre-req for president.  This is basically what we've been doing to discredit Islam and those guys are rough ridin' killing it. I mean, they really are the best.

[felix rex]

I hope someone shows up with a booth next to their faggy convention with a sign that reads "free haircuts".

johnson is a smarter, saner, more acomplished version of paul.  why don't the crazy paulites give up on paul and support him?

[HeinBallz]

It's pretty clear you guys know completely different Ron Paul supporters than I do.

Why even bother with this election? Romney and Obama are the same person, it makes no difference who gets elected.

[HeinBallz]

It matters a little.  When Romney gets in, SOME people will understand the idiocy behind voting for the lesser of two evils.     Just another step in the process of waking up your average republican.

The libertarian guy on daily show last week seemed alright.

I like some of what Paul thinks.  However, the vast majority of his supporters are absolutely insufferable, paranoid, mongoloids.

This is ridiculous. Lay off the Glenn Beck for fucks sake. Paul supporters are no different than anyone else

False. Paul started a movement to get people thinking, Gary Johnson was a governor. BFD.

gmafb.  co-opting parts of libertarian philosophy, mixing it with touches of southern bigotry, monetary insanity, small-town doctorey conservatism and a weird voice doesn't equal starting a movement.

Monetary insanity. Right. It's not like we owe 16 trillion to a made up bank and China or anything.

have you guys noticed all the government provocateurs have the SAME BOOTS!!!!

yes, basing your monetary supply on how fast we can dig arbitrary metals out of the ground is insanity.  as i understand it, even paul acknowledges that.  still, you listen to him talk, and you can't help but think that right beneath the surface his goldbuggery is still lurking, ready to spew out in any moment of weakness.

I've always laughed at the fiat v. specie based money supply argument.  One side says money is worth something because the government says so, the other wants some collateral.  You tards can pick your side to that argument and call each other tards.

HOWEVER, to say gold is an "arbitrary metal" is beyond Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  goodness gracious Sys 

All those "crazy" gold hoarders are sitting on an "arbitrary metal" worth $1600 p/oz in useless/perfectly valuable currency. . .

I really think Ron Paul is just trolling when he talks about the gold standard. I mean yeah it's pretty much not feasible, but then again we probably wouldn't owe $16,000,000,000,000 if we were on it.

wooooooosh thats the sound sys's post made as it went right over your head because you can't conceptualize what fiat currency actually means.

We also wouldn't have the luxury of enjoying the highest standard of living in the world if we were on it, either.

Perhaps. Fwiw I think parts of Europe have a higher standard of living than we do, and they're also on the brink of economic collapse.

I'm just unclear about what happens after this economic collapse. Looking at debt as a percentage of GPD, the countries that fall under 10% are as follows:

Algeria
Azerbaijan
Chile
Equatorial Guinea
Estonia
Gibraltar
Kuwait
Libya
North Korea
Oman
Qatar
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Uzbekistan
Wallis and Futina

Almost all of those countries are crap holes, and I really don't think that economic collapse is going to make Greece less appealing to live than the countries on that list. I'm not saying that debt is not a serious issue, but I'd rather live high in debt and then face an economic collapse than spend my entire life in some third world country.

I'm fine with Fiat $$ as long as there's an audit of the fed on a annual or quarterly basis and printing our way out of financial crisis is kept to a minimum. History has shown success in all forms of currency as long as there's a foundation of trust behind it.  I question whether the world will continue to trust our currency when we borrow/deflate/print at the pace we are.   My main concern is with the excessive printing of $$ - not that it isn't backed by anything. 

The desire behind a gold standard is ONLY to prevent the banking industries from lending more than they have on hand.   If you can't understand why that's a bad thing - then no wonder you think this is an idiotic topic.

when people turn away from the 10 year T-Bill (which the US govt basically gets free money for) than you have an issue. Right now those are in demand because of the presvieved safety.

[HeinBallz]

That doesn't mean we have a 10 year safety net - and I'm speaking more specifically to how the Federal Reserve Operates... not the Government.

This is how most of the Ron Paul supporters I know feel about Dr. Paul.  If you think this guys is an "absolutely insufferable, paranoid, mongoloid" then who do you think is normal?

[felix rex]

I've had a soft spot for Ron Paul ever since he cited a historical fact at a debate and got booed.

BOOOO facts! BOOOOO history! All the history I need to know is best country EVER. That means in aaaaaall history, rendering the rest obsolete.
