He preached America should spend what it can afford and not try to act like it owns the world. He will never get that across to Americans until they in lines for soup again. Yes it will take that much of a shock to America for it to wake up to the fact that it's not what it thinks it is and they can't spend money they don't earn.
Unless it wants to be owned by China, Japan, Arabs and anyone else who lends it money.Comment

I think most saw it coming. The majority of people that claim they didn't were trying to dodge responsibility for making it happen, or would benefit from it with enough foresight.Comment

Look at all the Presidents in the last 50 years, and the Presidents advisers and assistants, and try to find one who came out of office poorer than he went in. You will find a very short list. GWB has probably made more than any of his predecessors. When you have big pigs sticking their snout in the trough there is less left for the small ones.
So how do you keep the small ones quiet? Give them unlimited spending on CCs, let their houses rocket in value and give them an affluence they did not earn or can't afford. So they can tell everyone how much richer they are.
Now listen to Palin. She is talking about going to war with Russia over Georgia. Please let's have a reality check here. The US can't afford a war with Russia, can't win a war with Russia and the EU and other countries would stop it happening. But still this stupid woman is pandering to the stupid masses he still believe the US can do things the rest of the world knows it can't.
I want to hear from Obama and McCain how they intend to solve this problem and so far I don't hear anything but what will get them elected and give them a chance to stick their noses in the trough.Comment

Jim Cramer predicted it and advised how to stop it on CNBC last August.Comment

He predicted this and many other things years ago. Along with many other Austrian economists. These bubbles happen in a market that is not free.

We had a conversation on GFY in May of 2005 about real estate and what some of us viewed as an impending housing collapse. Check out some of the very interesting comments and different points of view in this 3 1/2 year old thread on the real estate market.

Yes, it was coming, many people saw it. But the medias are taken by the same companies that are in trouble, so all the information about this crisis is coming to us through some powerful filters...Comment

If you've been following Paul for a long while you'd know he is CONSTANTLY predicting recessions; some of which occur and some which do not. he is PERMANENTLY negative on the american economy and has been for my entire life.
In 1983 for example he predicted that a recession or "depression" would occur "in a couple of years". Here are the numbers for the years after that prediction.
(Real growth rates of US economy)
1983 4.3%
1984 7.3%
1985 3.9%
1986 3.4%
Jan, 1983 10.4%
Jan, 1984 8%
Jan, 1985 7.3%
Jan, 1986 6.7%
So the real economy grew 15% in 3 years and the number of unemployed dropped 36%. No recession to be seen, In fact, the economy grew at a better than average pace.
And once this financial crisis has passed Ron Paul will still be negative on the economy - because that is who he is. Hell, he shoulda been a bond trader being so negative.

It's not about being a crackpot. It's about a man who's been in the house of reps for decades, has accomplished virtually nothing, and no one has ever heard of him.
If that doesn't doesn't tell you that he's a completely useless and ineffective leader nothing will.
not to mention dropping out of the race so soon, despite still having millions of dollars in campaign funds, then cashing in on his newfound celebrity by selling tickets to his country music concerts and his book deals.
But whatever. continue the hero worship and buy his new book, he needs even more of your money for some reason

Ouch.. I did a quick scan through the thread and there was certainly quite a few people who were of the opinion that "it was different this time" or "it's not going to happen in my backyard". I hope those individuals made out alright and didn't overextend themselves or try to play the flipping game.We had a conversation on GFY in May of 2005 about real estate and what some of us viewed as an impending housing collapse.

Of course you think that Ron Paul is a joke. You believe in Mccains theory that the economy is strong. A fool could never understand truth even when its shoved up his gaping butthole. I dont have to argue the facts with you because you having an avatar with that tired old puppet and supporting him blindly does enough to repute your babble, which would be a major waste of time. Your not even an adult webmaster so why not go find a christian crusade board to troll?No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.

There people in comas with more ability to perceive simple fucking concepts sucH as "satire" and "sarcasm" and "being facetious" than you.
is it a learning disability or do you just have your fucking head so far up your asshole that it's starting to cut off the air supply to that pea fucking brain of yours?
Come back to reality bro. it's not that bad here.

You don't have to agree with everything the man says. He's pro-choice which in my view is antithetical to the very notion of individualism - which puts him on the fringe for me among other issues (Libertarians are too extreme in their views of individual freedoms and anti-government sentiments). Maybe he's never accomplished anything other than being a physician and Congressmen. How can you in the climate that permeates Washington?
But seriously, do you really dismiss everything he said in that video? There's quite a bit of logic, wisdom, and common sense in there.
And like those above said, how about that recession in the 80's.Comment

Hero???
lol... I don't have "heroes." I agree with a lot of the things Ron Paul stands for, but I could give a fuck less about him as a man. He is just one person.
But people who bash Ron Paul's ideals are basically bashing America and the very things that this great country are supposed to stand for.Comment
