To be fair, even IF Ron Paul is elected in November and the Fed is audited and the Military and Prison Industrial Complexes are put to bed, it will be extremely difficult to stop this economic train-wreck chugging away at full speed.

Yet you say that the dollar will never collapse but we can just keep on printing it and nothing will happen. That is why you all support one of the three stooges or Bush 2.0 instead of Paul right, because though he predicted the crash 5 years previous to the event, Romney is all about the bailouts and Santorum was previously involved in the "Nehemiah project" and also is about deficit spending and voted to raise the debt ceiling 5 times, while Gingrich was a damn Freddie Mac lobbyist and made a million on the whole thing!

What do I expect from people who would sell their own future and the future of their own children so they don't have to cut spending today? ... more lies is all.
I doubt you are old enough to realize these bubbles have burst before, it is a little more conplicated than many realize. In isn't just the banks, the greedy investors or the stupid people who really thought they could pay $500,000 for a house on an income of $40,000. It is all of the above and not the fault of the government.

I'm am plenty old enough to have seen much more than you could imagine, if not altogether more than you already, and to have read more than you on the subject, and I'm smart enough and educated enough to recognize the lack of education and ignorance/naivety of your statement above.

Don't you simply Love the honest and respectful replies you get from the Fans and supposed fellow Repubs (Not). Hopefully they will grow up one of these days and see the error of their ways, Maybe.

Lack of education, wrong, ignorant, not hardly. I was probably voting before you were born, I was a realtor for 13 years and have bought and sold enough property to take up a few city blocks.

You have every right to voice your opinion and to support any candidate you choose to support, but you might want to make sure you have some idea what you are talking about when you start talking about people's education and knowledge on subjects.

I don't doubt your general education or job training/experience, but it is obvious to me that you do not quickly learn from your mistakes as is evident by the type of policies and politicians that you endorse and support, and that your undrstanding of sustainable polies whether economic/monetary, domesticy/foreign, is limmited to the MSM talking points and propgoganda. Try some alternative sources of information and expand you horizons a litte and you might learn something that will help you realize the corruption inherit in the system which apparently are not aware that you are supporting.

Interesting that he still tries to lecture you on education while making spelling errors throughout his reply.

So what do you think, will you regret having ignored Dr. Paul when the dolla collapses?

Who is Dr. Paul?

What the heck, sure, I'll regret not listening to Ron Paul.

And if it turns out that there is an alien spaceship hiding behind that comet, I'll regret not listening to Marshall Applewhite.

[I'm still not sure which of the two is more likely to happen -- too close to call! ]

Yeah, weird, isn't it?
