I grew up in the projects. I have built a suitable self empire of condos and houses with borrowed money that has been paid back in full. Ron Paul wants you to have "Gold".
That was done............... it failed. Wall Street gathered it all and charged you gold that you did not have because again.............(Wall Street had it all).
Since you are so smart I hope you will agree the dollar will NEVER crash because it can be valued 0, .100, .010 etc. You will be paid $100.00 hr and milk would be $40.00 a gallon in those instances.
Anyway while you go buy gold, an Alex Jones tape, or whatever, I think I'll go buy another condo so I can charge you 2 oz a month rent if your hopes come to fruition.
Well, I'm not quite sure what your point is in relation to the topic of this thread....but there was a time in America when we were on the gold standard, meaning you could take a dollar bill to the bank at any time and trade it in for a dollar's worth of real gold. The price of gold stayed the same so a dollar bill was always worth the same. The price of consumer goods did not fluctuate to any great degree and people could plan intelligently for their futures because they knew how much money it would take to live in their future...because it was basically going to stay the same. That was a time when the saying "Sound as a dollar" had a clear definable meaning to it that people saw reflected in their everyday lives.

"This is one of the key indicators of the timing of this coming world leader's rise to global power. He will arrive as a peacemaker during a period of instability and chaos when the world will be clamoring for peace."
your putting to much faith into this one guy to set America straight.
and "the correlation to 666"
Date of birth August 20, 1935.
8-2 6 1+5 6 9+3 6
or
8-2 6 19/3 6 with a remainder of 1+5 6
My point is if you have a total gold standard you cant "stretch" a dollar for all people to have an opportunity.
Paul is a stooge. Don't be suckered in. The two party system in the US is just two hands of the same controller. Ron Paul is very much inside the system. Even if he wanted to change it the system itself would never allow it.

Of course, you also have to realize that his staunch belief that government has no business dictating or being involved in our private lives also means that if some states want heroin to be legal and prostitution to be legal that's part of the consequences of keeping the government from making our personal decisions for us. I'm certainly not for heroin addiction or prostitution...but I'm sure for freedom.

I particularily like where he says that it's not our job to invade other countries to force them to be better people. He says it's our job to make us better people. I know he has some radical ideas and he pretty much wants to fix everything all at once, once and for all and that might be kind of scary at first but things would balance out and adapt to the new circumstances. Life would go on...only better.
