He was also against TRAP. TARP was instrumental in saving the US economy and has worked fantastically. Since then the US has made a profit off it and kept the economy together.
Trap makes profit
Trap works
Trap worked deal with it.

The FED? Well since Im spanish I dont really need to understand how it works, however, as Im curious enough I watched zeitgeist, then decided to read a bit more because it did not made sense alltogether, then it all fell into place. I would advice you do the same, educate yourself a bit before you embarras yourself spewing the sentence "the FED is part of the government, and its what keeps the US going" Id rather say its what keeps the US sinking even deeper, and as has been pointed out before, its as federal as federal express, guess you dont understand the sentence, or something.
We have our own elections in spain the 20th, hairy and disgusting, but gotta go for the lesser evil...
Edit: I understand that grasping all the concepts in zeitgeist, the ecconomy part at least is not simple, I would advice to grab enough paper and pen to last for a couple of hours, and be careful, the rabbit hole is very very deep indeed.edit on 10-11-2011 by Saltarello because: Add a bit more.

The reason Ron Paul looks like the outcast and heretic is because he's the only one who is brave enough to speak for the American public. He's the only candidate without an agenda that will further bankrupt the people and the country.

QE1 and QE2 have also worked to stimulate the economy. Ben Bernanke can also prove how it has worked and why we needed it. There is proof that it has worked.
It appears that Ron Paul is continually wrong about the economics of the country
In its monthly report to Congress, the Treasury Department now says it expects to lose $23.6 billion, up from its previous estimate of $14.33 billion. From The Detroit News: detnews.com...$23.6B#ixzz1dtrssyrI

Watching and believing zeitgeist was your first mistake there. You say you do not know it then proceed to call me uneducated. Bravo! Zeitgeist isnt accurate, its more insane than alex jones.
I have educated myself, thats why I know that that zeitgeist is bunk and how the us central bank works.
The US is growing right now and US bonds are still being demanded at near zero rates. Cant say the same for spain.

i feel bad for you
Yeah the US is growing.
I see that that you really have no idea what the Us debt really means. For the millionth time, it does not matter how high it is. And the us does pay its deb. Its called debt refunding and we have the best record of paying our debts. Not that you would actually know any of that since Mr. Paul is your source of information.

Sonny and I rarely get along. We are pretty much completely opposite in our ideology yet we both support Ron Paul. That should say a lot. Anyone that pays attention left or right can tell that Ron Paul will be good for the country.
