"Like Ron Paul" You mean they guy who ran in the republican primaries?
The last I saw he was still registered as a republican.
You are aware you need a majority to pass anything in Congress With 3 parties, the chances are slimmer then with 2.
Yes, that's the Ron Paul I voted for. The letter behind his name does not bother me one bit for the reasons I already explained: he is not a partisan hack, like the rest of them.
The 3rd party would force people to work with other parties to get the majority, which is a good thing.
McConnell: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
NJ: Does that mean endless, or at least frequent, confrontation with the president?
McConnell: If President Obama does a Clintonian backflip, if he’s willing to meet us halfway on some of the biggest issues, it’s not inappropriate for us to do business with him.
NJ: What are the big issues?
McConnell: It is possible the president’s advisers will tell him he has to do something to get right with the public on his levels of spending and [on] lowering the national debt. If he were to heed that advice, he would, I image, [sic] find more support among our conference than he would among some in the Senate in his own party. I don’t want the president to fail; I want him to change. So, we’ll see. The next move is going to be up to him.
Now, compare that with Harry Reid:
"Mitt Romney's fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his 'severely conservative' agenda is laughable," Mr. Reid said in a statement on Friday,
It's the same message no matter how you spin it. Telling Obama to meet GOP "half way" is same as Reid saying he will refuse to pass "severely conservative agenda". If Romney meets Dems "half way" then the agenda can't be severely conservative. Neither party will work with the other, and that's the way it's been for years. Dems didn't' work with Bush either. GOP refused to work with Obama to reduce corporate tax rate for crying out loud. That's going far beyond "half way", that's going all the way, but they still would not work with him. Now they rally around Romney who is suggesting the exact same thing, and you can count on Dems to oppose it, although they supported it with Obama. The county is broken.

This is actually almost exactly the same thing, if you have any reading comprehension. Reid said he would not pass a "severely conservative" agenda. He didn't say he'd oppose him om anything.
You guys who keep mentioning the second amendment are asking to have FBI agents knocking on your doors. How stupid can you get? I hope you're stupid kids and not adults, as that would make you even more pathetic. Bunch of pubescent yahoos.

National debt: over 16 trillion dollars.
Currency in circulation, "dollar bills".
(M1 : $ 2382.7 B, M2 :$10126.9 B)
(Pursuant to law, "dollar bills" are IOUs - minus value - part of the debt. They cannot "pay off" the debt)
Fort Knox allegedly holds 147.4 million ounces of gold, if stamped into lawful money, would be 2.9 billion dollars.
World wide supply of gold is 5.3 billion ounces, if stamped into lawful money, would amount to 106 billion dollars.
National debt requires 800 billion ounces of gold to pay off.
At current mining rates, it would take 87,000 years to mine enough gold -IF- the debt and interest were frozen right now.

Note: Dollars defined by the Coinage Act of 1792, et seq, and dollar bills defined by Title 12 USC Sec. 411. Public debt cannot be challenged as to its validity, pursuant to clause 4, 14th amendment, USCON.

Why mine for more gold, when you can just change it's price? Add three zeroes, and then pay off the debt, and spend the rest on PTO.
