- dt07, on 10/01/2008, -38/+322Ron Paul should be our next president.

HR 2755... END THE FED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- HolyMan28, on 10/01/2008, -9/+119How about we DON'T spend more money.
- Acrinimiril, on 10/01/2008, -20/+124Why do Obama and McCain, and many other politicians, want to bailout Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley with your money?
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are top contributors to both!
The simple truth:

http://www.thirdpartyticket.com/ - kotrin, on 10/01/2008, -14/+106There should be a Ron Paul section on Digg.
- Xihix, on 10/01/2008, -9/+74Right, on occasion? He's been hitting all his speculations spot on for years now.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -7/+65Who are all the idiots that keep on saying that the taxpayer will make money off of this deal by buying up toxic loans. If there was money to be made off of these toxics bank loans then those banks would be wanting to hold on to them. Companies do not get rid of assets that make them money.
This billionaire bailout will only cost the taxpayer money and will do nothing to solve the economic crisis and will probably make it worse by de-valuating the dollar even more. This is nothing but a good old boy banker Paulson taking care of this billionaire buddies. And this billionaire bailout will cost more than the advertised price of $700 Billion if you look back in history at other bailouts.
Just to give you a scale of how big think boondoggle is, the entire U.S. military budget is $500 Billion. - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -10/+67Isn't amazing how we always end up pushing out the most promising candidates in our election only leaving us with "Giant Douche" vs "Turd Sandwich"
- audomatix, on 10/01/2008, -10/+55It truly bothers me that Ron Paul got the shaft as far as exposure this election cycle. All the conservatives who drone on about what it means to be republican have no idea, but Ron Paul does. This man is a living outline of what a true and responsible conservative should be; one who conserves. Not to mention he puts logic before just running with the pack like most of congress. I am voting obama/biden but if Ron Paul were in the final stretch with Obama he would have my vote. He's just the man we need in this economic crisis, he knows what he's talking about and he knows how to fix it.
- mcm297, on 10/01/2008, -16/+61I don't get the majority of digg users. They hype Obama, yet big gov't is the last thing we need. All the Obama supporters for the past four years have been saying how we shouldn't be "pushing this debt on the shoulders of our children", yet are supporting this big government buyout freely. The Democrats are going to be throwing more *@&E$ing earmarks in this bill as well, such as more pork for A.C.O.R.N., I saw something supporting a wool company too. Heck, Ed Rendell essentially wants to throw another 100B towards "fixing our infrastructure." The Congressional Lexmark can only print so much money...
Paul is right here. We should be looking for solutions in the private sector to fix this mess. But I doubt that will happen, especially since everyone in congress "wants to reach across the aisle" and make an idiotic "bipartisan" effort. And as long as Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank and Chris "Countrywide" Dodd continue to have their says here... - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -7/+50If you can't pay your note, it's your problem- not mine.
You buy a home you can't afford, you have no right to send me the bill. - sdigroup, on 10/01/2008, -8/+46Dr. Ron Paul
A true American HERO - CosmicJustice, on 10/01/2008, -5/+42If you can't pay your mortgage then you should be foreclosed on. Plain and simple. You shouldn't have bought more house than you could pay for.
- mshtml, on 10/01/2008, -3/+38The front page will do just fine.
- schnikies79, on 10/01/2008, -8/+39and for every 1 person that gives a damn about what you think, there is the entire internet that doesn't.
- TruthExposed, on 10/01/2008, -12/+43http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Fox_News_Ron_Pau ...
It is OK to disagree with Paul, but the people who still think Paul is a kook or whatever are finding themselves clinging to off the deep end fringe positions.
Here is how I will get RICH off bailout economics:
I'm going to liquidate my entire net worth and borrow as much as possible.
I will loan this $ out to my friends on a first come first served basis.
When I don't get any money back, I will ask for a bailout and be billions richer. - z28com, on 10/01/2008, -15/+45I hate everyone on here who did not support Ron Paul. Now we have two ***** ass candidates that either one of them will be president and both options ***** SUCK ASS.
Ron Paul was the only one with any financial brains. For every person who did not vote for Ron Paul, I wish I could punch every person in the face as hard as I could until I broke every bone in my hand. You ***** who did not support him have all ruined our future. Thanks for nothing. - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -5/+35FTA: "I think it's a bad bill. I think it's bad for the taxpayers. I think it's doing more of the same thing. The same policy that we're following now with this bill is exactly how we got into that trouble."
Exactly. Let's not trust Congress with more money to throw at bad policies. - PacoLugi, on 10/01/2008, -3/+32Vote out anyone who votes for this bill!
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -9/+34Totally agree. Nobama and McSame wants Bush's bailout.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -9/+34Understatement of the century. Ron Paul 2008...and if he still insists, Chuck Baldwin.
- gjdavis60, on 10/01/2008, -2/+27"The same policy that we're following now with this bill is exactly how we got into that trouble." - R. Paul
So, we're going to solve a problem created by an inflationary monetary policy with ... wait for it ... more inflationary monetary policy. But that's not all. The people who drafted this plan, and who will be in charge of allocating the billions of appropriated taxpayer dollars, are the same people whose programs and policies led us to this point; the same people who didn't/couldn't/wouldn't see this coming, or did see it coming, but didn't bother to warn us or lift a finger to stop it. If these people were in the private sector they would be fired (if they were lucky), but we're going to put them in charge of $700 billion! Only in America!
And we won't even have to write a check. They'll just dilute all of our dollars for us. Now that's service, folks!
Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Welcome to the loony bin.
No Wall Street bailout!
Paulson and Bernake should resign or be dismissed (or indicted). - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -3/+26OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- CosmicJustice, on 10/01/2008, -1/+24That's right. The market has already figured in any future value. If there was money to be made speculators would line up to buy them. But why take 20 cents on the dollar when Uncle Sugar will give you 80 cents.
- h4ckler, on 10/01/2008, -4/+27He was the guy who predicted all of what you're seeing about uhhhh... 5 years ago.
- Jacolyte, on 10/01/2008, -1/+24If this debt was at all profitable, like AIG - Fannie - Freddie would like us to believe... they wouldn't be desperately lobbying congress and trying to sell it.
- h4ckler, on 10/01/2008, -1/+23Not really sure what scares you about Paul. I hear this a lot but never any explaination.
Mind listing exactly what it is that scares you? Getting back to the roots of our country? A free market? Excising the federal government from everything that isn't listed specifically in the constitution? GOLD standard? I don't get it...
The government in control of any kind of business is DOOMED to failure. Private businesses know what they're losing money and will close the business. Government run businesses suck all sorts of funds and never close...never admit defeat...look at Iraq. - hyzteria, on 10/01/2008, -2/+24i dont think those numbers are accurate, but that's coming from .. misinformant
- kemp34, on 10/01/2008, -4/+26How does the ending the Fed = anarchy?
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -7/+29***** them! If they can't make good decisions and stay afloat why should anyone "Bail" them out??? Why should they be allowed to have horrible business practices and get rich off them just to be "Bailed" out when things go belly-up??? I say let these banks tank. Who cares? Let's re-evaluate the value of "Money"... Re-evaluate the value of property... make things worth what they really are instead of making up imaginary numbers to put a value on something. Granted, the "Economy" is going to SUCK for a while... that's the price we pay for letting this go on for as long as we have, let it happen. We'll all be better off in the long run. Why should we help the rich stay rich? OR in a lot of cases... get even RICHER!????
- groo68, on 10/01/2008, -1/+22I thought Dennis Kucinich was better, Dennis Kucinich vs Ron Paul would have been the best race to have hoped for, and I might have understood why a person could possibly be undecided.
- damack, on 10/01/2008, -0/+21Not sure about president but I have no ***** idea how McCain won over this guy.. it just blows my mind how does a man like McCain win over a guy like Ron Paul it's absolutely ridiculous.
I swear I'll never understand American people. - Suil, on 10/01/2008, -4/+25Better late than never. :)
- Clbull, on 10/01/2008, -6/+26Vegeta, how many dollars were they going to use to bail out the banks?
- juankovo, on 10/01/2008, -2/+21http://www.campaignforliberty.com/
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -4/+23It's even worse than you thought. The bailout was for FOREIGN toxic debt. http://www.fedupusa.org/ Check out Karl Denninger's latest video.
- Demener, on 10/01/2008, -1/+20Normally plugs like that are obnoxious, but thank you for that link, it's a good thing to keep in mind.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -9/+28Good article, agree with his views.
- Demener, on 10/01/2008, -2/+21That was 2004. Now we have Smooth Liar and Senile old man.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -7/+26Attn. Wallstreet: JUMP YOU *****!
- h4ckler, on 10/01/2008, -2/+21You openly say you'd vote for Paul, but you're voting for Obama? Please tell me you're just voting Obama because you hate McCain... Obama is almost a carbon copy of McCain only he's not a complete idiot.
You should look into 3rd parties. - zadadka, on 10/01/2008, -1/+19Want an honest economy?
Let the cretins in the banks fail.
Protect the people's toil and savings only.
Start again.
Credit profits no man except the greedy. - numb, on 10/01/2008, -0/+17I don't think anyone's going to foreclose on people that responsibly bought houses they could afford.
- jakereilly, on 10/01/2008, -2/+19seconded.
cept for the obama part, cant stand that media hack. ***** him. - Ineedanap, on 10/01/2008, -3/+20Not really, because now they know he is no real threat.
- juankovo, on 10/01/2008, -3/+19@singularityv: So nice to see such a well-researched and thoughtful comment, complete with source citations and everything! Do you get paid extra if more people respond to your smears?
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -0/+16"The eyes of our citizens are not sufficiently open to the true cause of our distress. They ascribe them to everything but their true cause: the banking system... a system which if it could do good in any form is yet so certain of leading to abuse as to be utterly incompatible with the public safety and prosperity." --Thomas Jefferson
"All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, nor from want of honor or virtue, so much as downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." --John Adams
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." --Thomas Jefferson, 1802 -
