  3. The inevitable collapse of the dollar and the coming financial storm:
  4. Yeah, we can only wait and see. In the short term, all the trillions of dollars used to try to fix this problem will prop up our economy. What happens when we have to pay the money back? Do we just keep printing money and devalue our currency? We are borrowing too much and printing way too much. How can spending more money work? A deep recession is necessary and will come like it or not. The only question is how much can the govt do to delay it and create even a bigger problem.
  5. The disease has yet to do its full damage. We can take the medicine now or prolong and fuel the disease with the same ideas until the damage is alot worse. Time will tell. The people who have been right all along is the people I listen to, not the ones that lied to me and seem lost in this mess.
  6. I think Obama is actually gaining in the polls and as long as the economy stays stressed, Obama will continue gaining. Just favors him in this situation. Worst case scenario that McCain wins, I believe America will still improve greatly from its current state. McCain isnt better than Obama, but he isn't that bad. I would be greatly disappointed myself if Obama loses, but its no reason to get yourself sick over. About 2 more weeks, My best advice would be to get your mind off the election cause I think it effects you too much. I truely believe McCain will NOT win so no need for your
  7. Check out this site if you are not familiar with Ron Paul's ideas: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/ It's not just Ron Paul, there are many economists, financial specialists, and others that think along the same lines. These people have warned us of this long ago and we laughed at them and to this day while its happening, our government ignores this voice. We are trusting the same government that told us the economy was a solid system with solid foundations just months ago instead of the people who warned this was coming and predicted the whole thing. I would be worried of our future in
  8. A New Era of Slavery? by Ron Paul In the midst of highly unpopular bailouts of Wall Street, many justifications have been given about why Washington feels the need to act. Some claim that capitalism and the free market are to blame, but we have not had capitalism. If you compare our financial capital to our aggregate debt, this would be obvious. In the same way, we have not had a truly free market. The monetary manipulations of the Federal Reserve, a complex tax code, the many
  9. Yup, Disagreed. When the revolution comes, I hope you change your mind because you will crave it in your heart. If history taught us anything, its that freedom always wins.
  10. I did agree with what you said even if my thing went somewhere else.
  11. I disagree. America was not created upon greed or power. It slowly happened throughout the years in differing ways but it has become a monster. This is the awakening call. You miss it now, you are in for a harder fall later.
  12. The important part of the arguement is that you think that the free market failed because of not enough regulation. I think it failed because of too many bad regulations that control the market. The government doesnt let the market be free and thats the problem. I think things need regulations to make sure there isnt too much control over the free market, not regulate the market. Dont regulate the prices of services and products or even interest rates. Dont decide which companies are in need of saving and which arent. Let the market decide. Dont you see what you are doing and creating
  13. you cant use presidents to gauge the stock market performance. There are other factors like overflow effects of certain policies that go from one prez to another. Also Alan Greenspan worked with the FED for 20 years spanning many presidents. He is to blame for alot of the economic situations.
  14. I think this arguement is the biggest our country faces. Our government is thinking along the same lines as you. I totally disagree and dont trust in the moves that our govt is making. The FED created this mess. We need to elimate it. Less govt is the answer. The route we are taking is giving too much power to select entities and small number of people. It will destroy what we know of the free world. We are breaking our own Constitution and leaving our founding fathers ideas in the garbage. We have lost who we are and what we stand for because of greed and power.
  15. I see the point. This is my opinion but I dont think we will see rioting even if Obama loses (which I bet alot will not happen) unless there is some substantial evidence of tampering.
  16. Anyone here like mayonaise and ketchup mixed on their french fries. It sounds gross but its awesome.
  17. That board is sooo racist, alot of that has to be in humor. I dont see why people would riot unless it was an unfair election. If you lose fairly, just take it like a man.
  18. Yup, that's the message I think Republicans should make. DONT VOTE FOR MCCAIN!! He's a sell-out.
  19. I agree with you. It is not the free market that failed. It is the government messing with the free market that failed.
  20. I think the good side of this could be that the Republican party will have to reassess themselves and maybe get a more conservative person next time. Maybe this could make room for Ron Paul's ideas to come out.
  21. So..... alot has happened. Govt buying $250 billion in major bank stocks with requirements on certain practices with no choice given to the banks. = PURELY WRONG!!! I cant believe we are letting this happen. What is our country coming to? Also can anyone explain to me what they mean when they say they will buy up bad mortgages and help the buyer refinance so they can make things work? Isnt too general of a statement? What if there is huge losses that cant be paid, where do they go? Does the govt actually think that people will suddenly start saving now and pay everything back later
  22. So you dont care who gets in. Both suck just as much as the other huh?
