Gotta spread more rep around before I give to you but that was a great video, thanks for sharing.

I don't say this in a negative or mightier than thou tone, but the majority of Americans have such a minimal understanding of economics that they wouldnt know the right answer to the economy if it was wrapped up in a pretty box and handed right to them. Very few people do understand it, and it is unfortunate because the current "solutions" are so clearly not "it" yet people continue to fight for them.

He predicted a 9/11 like event would happen, he predicted the housing bubble, and he knows the answers to those problems.
Thats just it, they never respond to the FACT that he predicted everything that has happened since 2000 ...

It is a FACT that Dr. Paul knows what is going on better than any of the other candidates. They don't attack Dr. Paul right out on anything other than social issues, but only make general criticisms and insults of his political opinions. Their "guys" and the guys that "advise" them have have been wrong all along, and are still wrong, to the point of gross negligence if not out right fraud ... And look at the mess we are in today. The whole time they are acting like everything is okay while the whole house of cards they have propped up is crashing down around us all.

Indeed! I'm a huge fan of Dr. Woods. Though, I'd rather see him as Ron Paul's VP nominee. He's a terrific public speaker. A debate between Woods and Biden would prove that Biden isn't as smart as the 4th graders he lectures about Obama's "jobs bill".

The better question is why do you want to vote for the status quo when doing so only reaps the same poor results administration after administration regardless of the letter (R or D) behind the name?

So, even the wonderful, and I mean that sincerely, Ron Paul sees that he could not succeed in deleting the Fed, literally! It has usurped the power of we, the people, and is arrogant even at the Fed Hearings, TELLING our Legislators what is going to be- instead of

asking permission for policy.

Sad that Paul can't move for total ending of The Fed and its dictatorial powers, but then I, too know it won't happen, not by anyone's hands.

Other folks whom I think would make great cabinet additions in the Ron Paul administration in some way are:
James G. Rickards
Jim Rogers
Karen Kwiatkowski
Kevin Gutzman
Lew Rockwell
Walter Block
Joseph Salerno

If you don't know any of the above, look them up. They are the Who's Who of the whole libertarian/Austrian School/gold standard movement. Together, these folks will make a great tag team and would kick some serious Fed and government ass.
Disagree, Napolitano needs to be a SCOTUS appointee,
Woods for VP.
End The FED. (eliminate position)
Agree with Schiff for Sec. of Treasury
Lew Rockwell for Chief of Staff (been there done that for Paul already)

Yes, Dr. Woods is the man. If Ron can get to the White House Woods needs to be involved in the Administration in some way, he's too brilliant a mind not to be.
