Ron Paul 3/19/2009 "Quit Bankrupting This Country, Audit Federal Reserve HR1207"

I agree that the bonuses should not have been given, but to call the previous bill and the bill in question unconstitutional, I think, requires a citation of source.

Rep. Ron Paul did not site even what article of the constitution to look under, let alone what section or line, nor why he felt Those bills were unconstitutional.

The only way the first bill could be unconstitutional is if it were originated in the senate in violation of Art. I Sect. VII § 1. I can otherwise find no evidence to substantiate Mr. Paul's claims of constitutional violations. I also find It hard to believe he, a representative of the United States, would not have a working knowledge of the constitution.

I can only conclude that Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas 14th district, was being deliberately vague to deliberately mislead not only the house of representatives, but the Citizens of the United States as well.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin.
The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them,
but leave them the power to create deposits,
and with the flick of the pen they will
create enough deposits to buy it back again.
However, take it away from them, and
all the great fortunes like mine
will disappear and they ought to disappear, for
this would be a happier and better world to live in.
But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers
and pay the cost of your own slavery,
let them continue to create deposits."

Sir Josiah Stamp
(1880-1941) President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain

zombiuprising is wrong. Just because people understand that government public goods are destroyed does NOT mean they are anti-environment. Robber barons of the 1880s was a direct result of government oligopolization. In the end, you try to sound smart but you obviously don't understand state regulation compared to Federal nor do you understand how 99% of our problems are a direct result of fiat currency and out of control spending.

Listen, to everybody out there, people like this who don't understand the world need to be heard, but you should research both sides. You will find that economic freedom is much more prosperous than economic slavery! Sound, honest money is NOT the reason there were Robber Barons, let's get serious and start educating our civilization on civil liberties, economic freedom, and peace.....the republicans and democrats will NOT bring it to us, actually, they have sent our country into a political bureaucratic nightmare!

Yes crazy old Ron. Just what we need is less government and john birch (JBS) crazies.

"Inflation of any currency is always caused by government, and by nobody else. It is the result of a dishonest and deceptive increase in the amount of money in circulation. -- Robert Welch

For nearly 50 years the John Birch Society has stood for ending inflation by returning to a gold-backed currency and greatly lowering taxes by reducing the size of the federal government to conform to the limited government prescribed by the Constitution."

This is basically what Ron has been asking for - for us to return to the economic policies held up by the Robber Barrons of the 1880s.

Ah the Gilded age - when you could enslave children and beat workers. Back when Top Hats were cool, Slaves had been free for under 15 years and patriarchy wasn't questioned.

Did I mention that JBS is filled with a bunch of Racist anti-environmentalists. yup.

I give him credit for having balls.

Here in Illinois there is word of a 2010 revolution. The nation as a whole must see the same. Either entitlements must be cut or taxes must be raised. Entitlements where never incorporated in the Constitution so Baby Boomers watch out!

Economies go both ways. Capital investment carries risk. If you invest properly, you do not overexpose yourself to risk. No 1 rule.

Wall Street invested in risk and the market stopped manufacturing, imported goods. When the risk takers faced by inevitable collapse they expected the Government to ameliorate the risk without addressing the effects on consumers?

The US Government are forced to lower the dollar as the demand for capital was increased by the drainage of credit. AIGs failure was triggered by irrational contracts over Lehman Bros failure.

So Bush bailed out the banks. Obama has prevented the pain being felt by the masses. Ron Paul is Right, but not for this time, thank-you very much. He should lead the Right, however, he far more brilliant than any other Republican leader.

The financial system needs to clean itself out of nonsense. That is what is stopping investment. People do not trust the markets to act in an honest or beneficial way due to ridiculous risk exposure. Trust was destroyed by AIG. You can not put a price on trust.

Ron Paul scares the shit out of the people behind the scenes that pull the strings.. Instead of letting someone like RP become president and have to assassinate him, they did it through the media this time.

During the election he got marginalized and labeled as a kook for believing in the constitution.

Timothy Geithner? We need someone who knows what changes need to be done. Ron Paul for Secretary of the Treasury! Ron Paul for President=following 'the yellow brick road'

Ron Paul/ Alex Jones 2012!!!

Why isn't this man our president (other than the fact that he never made it through the primaries)? We're letting an extremely observant, intelligent man with two feet on the ground go to waste.

Ron has always brought the ROOT of the problem to the table, but sadly is being classified as a 'lunatic' - crazed, with 9/11 conspiracies to boot. It was disgusting to see how he was portrayed this past election. Don't buy into the hype, and don't believe the media. Just listen to the man already!

Right on Ron!

Ron Paul 2012!!

He's the only politician we have with balls.
