Its going to come down to the cost of fuel being inflated in the future to the point.. going to work wont be worth but yet cost me money.. Inflation from the massive amount of Currency introduced into the economy will destroy the middle class.. what then? hrm... glad I "cling" to my guns an bible. things aren't looking promising.. I just hope Obama will help the people who voted him into Office. Middle Class is about 50k.. I'm sorry 200k is alot.. average income isn't 200k.. its around 50...

he is right about the inflation issue. but more government doesnt necessarily mean oppession. and less government doesnt mean lawlessness. unity and breaking prejudice can be government free. the government should exist to protect commonly held ideals, not enforce or take them away. yes i do beleive government should be for the people. and it is the last buffer between the people and private sector abuses. republicans need to realize at least that.

This little twerp is such a gatekeeper. Very sophistic. All those buzz words, but no solution. go to LaRouchePAC and join the battle to defeat the oligarchy once and for all. Take back our central bank from the gangsters.

in a new society where the government looks to control our lives and the brainwashed society we live in centently ushers in this new age, we look back at some of the things this guy has said and realise that he had no agenda except for the well being of our country as we used to know it. its sad when someone comes right out and speaks to the heart of the issues and his words fall on deaf ears. we have given up our power and turned it over to the government. oppresion is coming sooner than later.

IMPORTANTThe TIME magazine lets the YT-users votefor the person of the year!!/watch?v=Bm94D1TqYwQIt would be awesome if you would leave a comment for RON PAUL and write why you nominate him for the person of the year.The win of this voting would give him a big push. Many more people would get to know him.AND 3 out of 4 (round about) have already voted for him.So if some you you guys would go to this video and vote for him we can make a difference in the next election race!!

No, the gold standard had already become a joke by then. As soon as the Fed had the right to add additional cash to the system it screwed up the whole thing. The Depression was created by artificial demand that never exactly existed. The recession might have been created by trying to tighten the money supply, but that would have never happened in the first place had they not been watering down the supply to begin with. Then, despite the 'free cash flow' days of FDR it took WWII to get us out.

ModernSurvivor, we had deflation during the 1920s. My point still stands. The Fed turned a recession into the Great Depression by tightening the money supply during a bank panic to keep us on the gold standard.

So theres was a good money and then that good money run off? So the central banks must supply an increase amount of money again. So another new fresh money out from the banks. The caused of inflation is an enormous amount of money to so called demand by business. At the same time debasing and creating inflation in the system. This will sparks a high commodities & murdering the value of dollar.The economy will just grow by itself without debt and inflation created through fiat mon.system!
