Your attack on Ron Paul shows just how fragile and scared the establishment is of liberty.

Ron Paul has exposed the fiat money system for what it is by proposing that we just tear up 1.6 Trillion in bonds that the Fed has issued for quantitative easing programs. Various economists can find no downside to that solution. Many have called it “surprisingly lucid” and some have referred to it as “simply brilliant”.

Even liberal economists can find no reason not to do it, however it is getting no traction on Capitol Hill. It would mean the end of the Federal Reserve and the money power structure as we know it. Maybe then we all realize that the national debt is just not real, except for the billions in interest payments sent to the bond holders.

The sad thing about raising the debt limit the author don’t address is that when they do this it weakens the dollar and our purchasing power. I am about as liberal as you can get and even I know the people who will be hurt by a shrinking dollar is the poor. The rich will have the means to put their money in other currencies or hard metals such as gold, the poor will get wiped out by inflation thats starting to show it’s ugly teeth.

The better question is when do you stop raising the debt ceiling? What is a sufficient number?

Thyblackman (got a complex do we?) understands the economy and our nations debt about as well as I understand Aarskog-Scott syndrome, which is not at all. Another anti-Paul liberal all for entitlements, surprise surprise.

The last statement, “Those who believe in government are losing the debate if just 19 percent of those polled think the debt ceiling should be raised.”, raises an interesting point. Most of us do not believe in government. We view government the way George Washington viewed government.

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is FORCE (emphasis mine). Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” — George Washington

I would prefer government were a chained (by the Constitution) servant rather than the supreme master is has set itself up to be. One god is enough for me, thank you.

Speaking as a blackman you disgust me. People like you are the reason why our people have this entitlement mentality which has amounted to nothing more than a form of self slavery. Do you even know who you are talking about? Certainly not Ron Paul. In a truly free society there would be no need for all these government programs that are mismanaged, abused or simply don’t work. You are a trader to our people.

if you click on the link at the end of the article, you’ll get Julianne’s website. Check out the first sentence in her bio:

“Dr. Julianne Malveaux is an economist, author and commentator, and the Founder of Last Word Productions, Inc., a multimedia production company.”

Economist?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

I think what we have here is a lot of people in the MSM that are now just trying to defend their credentials. They will bend facts, stretch logic, and sometime lie to save-face.

There is not one contributor to MSM machinery that will EVER go back on their previous positions, economic or political, because doing so will mean they are wrong.

This process is as much about recycling the news machine as-well-as recycling our politics.

This writer obviously has no understanding of economics. Read Austrian economics, stop spouting this nonsense.

Looks like “ThyBlackMan” is going to continue to publish a series of hit pieces on Paul. Second one I’ve seen against him this week.

Why are you so afraid of liberty?

@MC Great book. Dr. Paul’s Liberty Defined spells out his philosophy of liberty and freedom and how it relates to his positions and how it can rescue us from the Road to Serfdom.

End the Fed is also a must:

maybe you should know the difference between Ron Paul and Paul Ryan before you write an opinion piece. moron
