- Cryptocracy, on 08/17/2008, -4/+137this is disgusting and un-american of congress. But expected, given their allegiance is to the money masters and not to the citizens who elected them.
- SadMartigan, on 11/25/2008, -10/+114No one should be allowed to graduate High School in the U.S. without being exposed to these concepts. Social Studies should include watching Ron Paul videos, and dammit, this video should have been number 1 on YouTube BEFORE the vote.
- brad3378, on 07/24/2008, -5/+85If the wall street bankers get to keep their yachts and the banks get a bailout, then I want a bailout for the U.S. Auto Industry, But why stop there?
Let's bail out the Automotive suppliers.
Let's bail out the airlines.
Let's bail out the Newspapers.
Let's bail out the home builders
Let's bail out the Trucking Companies.
Let's bail out Steve & Barry's
Let's bail out Sharper Image.
Let's bail out Linens 'n Things
Let's bail out Tropicana
Let's just pass the buck to our future taxpayers. - LordSkywalker, on 07/24/2008, -5/+72I now wonder, how dumb will future generations think we were? Here we are, watching the American empire crumble away, all while ignoring the few people who actually understand the full scale and significance of our problems.
- emmeron, on 07/24/2008, -3/+54He still isn't the best speaker, but man... he makes some very good points. Somehow a fear of collapse has once again given more power to government, extending past any reasonable need. 600 pages? Seriously, why? Oh, wait ... to hide all the stuff no Patriot would stand for. This country really is going to crap when this sort of thing flies.
- kpmoore, on 07/24/2008, -5/+55If these economic trends continue, our empire will fall. It is inevitable. Most Americans refuse to even acknowledge that possibility.
My father was a Professor of Economics for 30 years and is currently one of twelve economic advisers to the Boston FED. When I asked him to share his thoughts about our current economy, he said "If things keep going the way they're going, in 18 months you'll be glad I taught you how to hunt and fish." - Erich100, on 07/24/2008, -3/+51The bottom line on all of this screw the people attitude our public servants display is that they simply have no reason to fear us more than their masters. We lost that battle 95 years ago.
- RPliberty, on 07/24/2008, -4/+46I couldn't imagine being totally in the dark without Dr. Paul's first-hand insight.
- Minarchian, on 07/24/2008, -2/+43Did your Congressman vote for this?
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h200 ... - Tommyhawk, on 07/24/2008, -3/+40Can someone link me to the part about the IRS collecting credit card transactions? I mean that is nuts... talk about a ***** of data.
- Wundur, on 07/24/2008, -9/+40Obama is a sock puppet of the corporates.

- Jassman, on 07/24/2008, -3/+30Time for the American citizens to form a "well regulated militia".
- Hangly, on 07/24/2008, -4/+31This way of doing things simply has too much momentum behind it to stop. I'm sure most people involved know they're headed for disaster, but the structure is such that they are still compelled to continue "doing their jobs." Which they do, while closing their eyes and hoping for the best.
This will not stop until it hits something. Fasten your seat belts, folks. - richmomz, on 07/24/2008, -5/+30Wishful thinking but Obama is playing for the other team in this game.
- MaximusIGN, on 07/24/2008, -3/+27Let's face it. The majority of Americans don't know about this or want to know. The mainstream media will make sure of that. The only possible chance for people to wake up from the disaster that's going on in the government is when they go to the bank to take out some money for a triple cheeseburger combo and it's bankrupt and they find out the government is saving the top millionaires with their money.
- Skab, on 07/24/2008, -6/+28Buy Guns. Learn to grow your own food. Invest Wisely. Save. Don't spend frivolously. Enjoy small things. Be prepared for anything. Don't expect much from the govt. you'll be shocked and disappointed allot less. Educate yourself, family and friends. You can't begin to change the world untill you change the one directly around you. Worry about wars thats fine but do you have insurance or gas in your car? Find out what matters to you really and make it happen.
- btschul, on 07/24/2008, -6/+28Since onetimer and pajeff2 and nomorepaul are not here yet, I'll just get their usual comments out of the way:
"This is spam"
"You all are paultards"
"I hate Ron Paul"
"You all are gaming digg"
"This is *****"
"Whatever you say is wrong and whatever I say is right"
"Socialism is fun"
There, now you all don't have to bother posting your *****, and you can just go away and leave the commenting up to intelligent people who want to make valid points. - richmomz, on 07/24/2008, -2/+23We let them get away with FISA and shredding our 4th Amendment rights so why should this surprise anyone?
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -3/+24Ron Paul Rocks dude.
his "Super" Convention at the Target Center in St Paul Minnesota on September 1st will dwarf the NeoCon Republican Convention
lolol

- XanderDee, on 07/24/2008, -8/+27A story i want to share from my subscription...
I just had to comment on these emails I received yesterday and today from an American citizen who fled the former Soviet Union. Here are the emails. I have left in the small mistakes contrary to what was requested because it is more interesting reading.
Artho: I realy enjoy your emails.You are an honest Man (very rare in this days)God bless you.I am from formerSoviet Union.I moved to Usa and become praud US citizin.....BUT what's going on here ,reminds me the former evil Empire.I call this people legal criminals.People who created all types false loan and this banking mess ,now same type of people(correct me if I am wrong) finding new way to still peoples money.I am new in the Market (2 years)After reading your email I understand It' s wrong now to be Investore.I think the old invesment rules stop working ,free market stop working.So try become trader.Companies with strong fundaments and earning going down and some junks ,like WB are moving up 30% in one day after hoorrible report and 75%divientcut.Is this soviet type of propaganda that things are getting better.?????I was an investore for several weeks was busy to recover my loses (EXM SOLF) two good bussiness punished by street and GS.Anyway ,I shorted WB stock ( after yestoday news and get crushed.I would like to know your opinion about todays action and about WB .Thank you in adance.BTW English is my third , so please forgive my Grammer. Best regards ARTHO
My Response: Stock will go up if things become less worse, but still bad. Stocks will go down if things become less good, but still good. You can never trade against the momentum. Learn to read the momentum on the charts. Weekly momentum lasts 8 weeks average. Banks are only 1 - 2 weeks positive momentum now. Stocks are all speculations, so you trade them. I don't believe in "buy-and-hold". The next GE doesn't exist. Good investments are international real estate or a house in a college town. Thank you for writing. May I post your comment in my newsletter? I
Artho: Thank you Nail,Yes you can post my comment.Please ,make it sound better EnglishI hope I can bring my loses back and recover my to "investmnts'(?)I hope it would take 3-4monts.Right now I am on Margin that's why I can not subsribe your service.Those 2 am selling on ups and buying low I hope my recovery sysem will work.Today I did very stupid mistake and needed someone to ask advise.Thank you again Gog bless.Best regards Artho
Artho: Hi Neil, I know Ron Paul. He is very good man.But Amercans are brainwashed.(most of them) Moral values are going down thanks to the people who control media and ...Market.I think last good president was R .reagan.Bob Doll was good man BUT....This country need strong WAKE UP call and more ,much more people like Ron Paul. Tv is garbage basicly and the news are Sovet type lies ,propagana.....you know.better.Regards Artho
My Response: There will always be boom and bust cycles as long as paper money exists. Learning about the paper money is the equivalent of when Neo "wakes up" on the other side of the Matrix. He actually vomits and passes out after saying, "No.. get away from me....." Then, he wakes up and everything was back to normal. People can't handle the truth. - convohypno, on 07/24/2008, -1/+18Tommyhawk

Payment Card and Third Party Network Information Reporting. The proposal requires
information reporting on payment card and third party network transactions. Payment settlement
entities, including merchant acquiring banks and third party settlement organizations, or third party
payment facilitators acting on their behalf, will be required to report the annual gross amount of
reportable transactions to the IRS and to the participating payee. Reportable transactions include
any payment card transaction and any third party network transaction. Participating payees include
12
persons who accept a payment card as payment and third party networks who accept payment from
a third party settlement organization in settlement of transactions. A payment card means any card
issued pursuant to an agreement or arrangement which provides for standards and mechanisms for
settling the transactions. Use of an account number or other indicia associated with a payment card
will be treated in the same manner as a payment card. A de minimis exception for transactions of
$10,000 or less and 200 transactions or less applies to payments by third party settlement
organizations. The proposal applies to returns for calendar years beginning after December 31,
2010. Back-up withholding provisions apply to amounts paid after December 31, 2011. This
proposal is estimated to raise $9.802 billion over ten years. - mcla007, on 07/24/2008, -1/+17"Somehow a fear of collapse has once again given more power to government, extending past any reasonable need."
When the Govt screws up it claims more power to fix the mess it created...then screws-up some more...and asks for even more power and so on.
Crisis and Leviathan - Robert Higgs http://www.amazon.com/Crisis-Leviathan-Critical-Go ... - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+17Our current government is shot. The more they get involved, the more things fall to pieces. What is it going to take for the majority of Americans to not only see this but do something about it, of course when I say do something about I am talking about voting these idiots out of office.
- terryhuang, on 07/24/2008, -5/+19sounds like America is becoming a socialist country
- akirashimablue, on 07/24/2008, -0/+14He has good points, just Americas to shallow to listen. I am not saying that everything he says is gold, but he has points worth listening to. Part of the problem is that he is a true conservative, and the rest of his neo-Con friends are to busy claiming to be real conservatives. The GOP base as with the DNC base have not a clue when they are being lied to but their uninformed vote is equal to mine. You want people to vote logically and be well informed, then for the next 25 years pump money into better education and make babies, and call that the future.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+14how about "how dumb will the next generation think we were" - the ***** has already hit the fan, we're just starting to get rained on.
- brad3378, on 07/24/2008, -1/+13Rent (for homes and apartments) will likely go down if the market is flooded with unsold homes.......Assuming people can still get loans.
- subterfuge, on 07/24/2008, -1/+13IMO, democrats are failing hard. recently, they were elected in mass to stop the war, which they have refused to do. now, they are destroying our currency
- bradysbeau, on 07/24/2008, -4/+16No he doesn't speak well but he rings true.... I wish...I wish...oh well.
- phrstbrn, on 07/24/2008, -0/+12Republicans tended to vote against the bill... Democrats tended to vote for the bill... Republicans are good.. Democrats are bad...
Divide by zero.. system overload... shutting dow.... - evodevo1, on 07/24/2008, -2/+14People need to understand the idea of MORAL HAZARD. When government promises to bail people out, it encourages people to take risks that they would otherwise avoid. Moral hazard is inherent in any big socialist type programs. Even insurance (auto, health, etc), where the cost of risky behavior is spread among many people, encourages haphazard behavior. No, we can't avoid moral hazard, but we can minimize it. That is why if you are at fault in a car accident, your insurance rates go up. By our incompetent leadership in both the white house and capitol hill, we are basically allowing people to drive drunk with impunity. Way to go House of Reps!!!
- RedPhalanx, on 07/24/2008, -0/+12I'm surprised he's not here yet...
- btschul, on 07/24/2008, -2/+13Wrong, the neocons are responsible. Bush is not a real republican, Ron Paul is.
- rolf, on 07/24/2008, -1/+12His speech lacks polish because he's not trying to sell you something without substance. Consider that Hitler was one of the best speakers in history next time you get swept up by someone's emotional rhetoric. (Not to compare that person to Hitler, but illustrating the power of speech).
- alamedaman, on 07/24/2008, -3/+13buy some gold and guns and get ready for the apocalypse
- kaplanfx, on 07/24/2008, -0/+10Apparently your English teachers aren't doing THEIR jobs.
- durden0, on 07/24/2008, -1/+11That'd be... just about everyone basically. Easier to name the ones that shouldn't be outed.

I can't imagine why. - Nitz5785, on 07/24/2008, -2/+11Lol, the gov't already knows all of your transactions credit, check, anything other than cash and they know when you deposit or withdrawl that. This just makes it legal.
- centure7, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9The sad thing is that most of those who just voted to have our credit card transactions tracked, 800 BILLION more debt approved, and a bunch of mortgage workers to be fingerprinted, WILL ALL BE RE-ELECTED. Americans are starting to wake up but the vast majority of them are totally ignorant in a mental retard sort of way. Its pathetic!
- TonyLocNE, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9The Great State of Nebraska unanimously voted "nay."
***** yeah. - RIMberry, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9point a) leads to point b) dumbass. It will just take longer and be far more severe.

- RedPhalanx, on 07/24/2008, -2/+10There's more to politics than D's and R's. Would you say that, since Lincoln was a Republican we should reinstitute slavery, or since Jackson was a Democrat we should seize the Indian reservations and drive them out?
- maj0rm0j0, on 07/24/2008, -0/+8Why won't they bail me out?
- j0se, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9"Wall Street got drunk and now it's got a hangover"
