dave ramsey sounds really weird to most people in 2011. but he is not saying anything different than what was normal 50 years ago. americans have bought hook line and sinker the perverted keynes doctrine that says u can debt your way out of debt. no, mr ronald reagan, debt is not meaningless.
dave ramsey for president.
for the reality check we so desperately need, u need to pay for stuff not sign for stuff. it will make you think twice about overspending.

Well can you post something that he has said other than just sending us to his website. He is a good financial advisor. He thinks Peter Schiff is an idiot. So I automatically think he has credibility.

I have no idea. I mean you just asked what we think of him. Does not leave a whole lot of room for discussion other than we like him, which I do. He is a good personal money manager and offers very good sound advice that people could benefit from. How is that either political or controversial?

Well his ideas, which are not that novel, require a little bit of self discipline.

Actually you could very well debt your way out of debt if the American people had the power to print and coin their own money supply. Money is an abstract form of law nothing more nothing less. It means nothing in a 21st century world, do you understand the concept of money? The problem with America like most western nations is the power to print and coin money is in the hands of private bankers that print this money as they see fit and then turn around and charge the American people interest. Americans fail to realize that it doesn't matter how much spending they cut or what they sell off ala Dave Ramsey. THE POWER STILL LIES IN THE HANDS OF PRIVATE BANKS!!!!!!!!!!! WHY? Because the bankers have been controlling the USA and the industrialized world for hundreds of years. The concept of money is nothing new.......how it is controlled is. The Romans fought this same beast. Jefferson and Jackson were lamenting against the bankers and private money creation since our inception. But like lemmings we just keep paying lip service to the corrupt system of money creation that has us as a nation in the debt and grip of banks. We need a central bank that is controlled by the people aka government that prints debt free money. But the problem with that is we can't trust our government to represent our interests and we need an efficient, ethical, and honest government to run a central bank. We don't have that and who knows if we ever could. So we are screwed either way.

Dave's message is pretty simple...live within your means and put some savings away for the future. Seems like a message our government could stand to learn. Perhaps he should be treasury secratary???
