Who Caused the Economic Crisis? - FactCheck.org

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 10/04/2008
Friedman was all for government intervention and central banking. He supported totalitarian regimes, while an Austrian would never compromise on individual liberty. Friedman's from the Chicago school, not from the Austrian school. Read Rothbard's piece o … (see comment)

Rescue Plan for the People

Comment in Videos (8 diggs, 1 reply) - on 09/20/2008
It looks like Don was short overnight, the Fed came in with the bailout bullshit and he was forced to cover at a major loss. It's pointless to put your cash in stocks if the government keeps distorting the prices and screwing you over. Right now we have … (see comment)

Someone predicted this economic collapse A year ago, who?

Comment in Videos (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/16/2008
Bullshit. Cramer's calls are consistently wrong -- actually, he's a great contrarian indicator regarding his market bottoms. He's either an idiot or a crook being paid to pump the financials. Also, the problem isn't that Bernanke and Pauson are intellec … (see comment)

Obama: If you believe that, I've got a bridge in Alaska...

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/16/2008
This argument is equally valid for the Democratic party. If you think those lobbyists are working day and night for the Republicans/Democrats just to put themselves out of business, well then I've got a bridge to sell you up in Alaska. It's time to wake … (see comment)

Libertarians are like Cassandra, from greek mythology. She had the gift of prophecy, but Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would never believe her. (see comment)

The same Jim Cramer that called a market bottom last week? (and pretty much every week before that?) The same Jim Cramer that told people to buy Bear Stearns? Repeat after me: Jim Cramer is an IDIOT. His show is for entertainment only, and his opinion s … (see comment)

Bloody Sunday: Wall Street Is Hit by Financial Tsunami

Comment in News (7 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/15/2008
Technically the US government hasn't defaulted on its debt because it is honoring the interest and the principal. The fact that it's borrowing to pay the existing debt doesn't characterize a default. The fact that it's printing cash to cover part of the d … (see comment)

One of the great things about Ron Paul is that he believes people should make up their own minds. Ron Paul never tells people what to do. The decision of who to vote for should be your own. (see comment)

Do You Even Think About Americans? Ron Paul

Comment in Videos (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/11/2008
It's weird that you would quote Friedman to someone who's trying to promote Austrian economics. Friedman was never the patron saint of free markets. He was an advocate of interventionism and indirectly promoted totalitarian states. (see comment)

Marx argued that a commodity's intrinsic (real) value was proportional to the amount of labor needed to create it. He gave the name "surplus value" to the difference between the commodity's selling price and its real value. Marx argued that this surplus v … (see comment)

This is a direct consequence of having the government in charge of currency. One of Mises' great contributions is the so called Regression Theorem, which explains the origin and nature of money. In a realistic marketplace, money should be treated as a ne … (see comment)

Comment in News (8 diggs, 1 reply) - on 09/08/2008
This Matt Welch guy is a libertarian? He says that McCain's plan to greatly increase the size of the armed forces and create an international spying agency would require a lot of money, which currently Americans don't have a lot of. Well, here's the dea … (see comment)

Graph of Consumer Spending Per Country - USA out of control

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/08/2008
The idea of left vs. right only represents one dimension of the political spectrum. Another extremely important dimension is collectivist vs. individualist. Collectivism leads to statism, which leads to tyranny. People get lost in the left vs. right deba … (see comment)

Graph of Consumer Spending Per Country - USA out of control

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/08/2008
Saying "let's give Friedman a second chance, but this time, without government intervention" is a complicated way to demand free markets. We should drop Milton Friedman and focus on Mises, Hayek and Rothbard. Rothbard wrote a pretty good essay about what … (see comment)

11 Reasons Why Bill O’Reilly Is Completely Insane

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 09/07/2008
Bill O'Reilly isn't insane. He's a liar who gets his paycheck from the neocon propaganda machine. He's made a lifestyle out of lying, so in a sense he's often drinking his own kool-aid. But that doesn't excuse him from making provably false statements in … (see comment)
