$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')or those who want them there are no shortage of solutions, Ron Paul has offered many. He's never gotten more than 10% of the vote. Looks like americans don't want solutions but instead prefer illusions. Would you really be any different?


How many people actually know and understand what Ron Paul is saying.
The people have been dumbed down. Media is part of the large enterprises and they are only interested in protecting themselves.
The measures now are to bail out the banks not homeowners and tax payers.
Like Corleone once said, in 20 years we'll be legit business.... the Fed Reserve and the international bankers have worked for centuries to legalise theft.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mark', 'E')conomist will overwhelm themselves with data and call it information. They will complicate the so-called science of economics with Keynesian doublespeak. Then pronounce that only the anointed, like them, are capable of understanding the tea leaves. If you, like them, believe that, then no, I don't have all the information.

On the otherhand, you could avail yourself of another school of thought, the Austrian model. You'll find things clear up right away.


Amen! I first got introduced to the Austrian model in 2003 when I tried to convince a friend about peak oil. He told me I was nuts and that the US economy was a bigger issue to worry about. Looks like we were both right! Peak Oil vs. Peak Debt - which will destroy us first? I've hedged my finances about equally both ways. I won't get rich, but I won't be destroyed by choosing the wrong side either.

Isn't "doctor of economics" an oxymoron? Why they ever started handing out Nobel prizes to these pseudo-science financial astrologers is beyond me. Bernake spent way too much time in Ivy-League acedamia. He has no clue how the "real world" works let alone what is required to minimize the pain soon to be inflicted upon us. I.e., a short duration of extreme pain - allowing insolvent banks and businesses and homeowners to go under along with their debt - would be better than fighting the inevitable through further debt creation and monetary debasement - which is what they will unfortunately do, just as Japan did for over a decade and continues to do.
