I would be very interested in reading Griffin's reply to the "not enough money is created to address interest" argument. It is mentioned in this article without any mention of where it was stated. I assume it was another article or blog post. Anyone have a link?

If your neighbor's dog pooped in your yard, what would you do? I would start by asking them to not let their dog do that anymore. If it happens again, I'd angrily ask them to stop. If it continues to happen, I might consider declaring war. What makes countries any different? For the nuclear...

My problem with intellectual property: Lets say I'm an engineer. I'm not, but for the sake of argument lets say I am. Say I read an article about a new design for a vertical windmill. I like this design. I spend my time re-engineering that specific type of windmill. Then I go to my hardware...

This whole ant allegory is ridiculous to anyone who has studied ants in any detail. A Queen ant holds no power in a colony. In fact, it's almost the other way around. The workers drag her around, by force, to wherever they feel she should be. The queen is just a breeding machine. All she does...

If that is the plan, and if it works, then it could buy this craziness we call an economy another decade or two. So the question now is... what are the chances that it works?

I was watching CNN today (I know, shame on me), and I was listening to some anchor butcher the 'Economy' issue for the millionth time. I don't know I keep expecting something new eventually. Anyways, my mind started to wander off into introspection about everything I've picked up and jammed into...

That could have been said far more gracefully. Particularly the word disgrace. :(

I agree John, however, ending the the federal reserve and returning to a solid money supply not produced by debt wouldn't be a bad thing to include. :)

@forsmant: The owners of a corporation do not make company policy. Thats the problem. The two must be joined, and someone has to take responsibility for the screw-ups and the exploitation. Not just the exploitation of the workers (aka, China and Pakistan), but the exploitation of our natural...

First, you guys over-react far too much when someone mentions socialism. If you took the time to understand his point of view, you might just change it. He's asking for answers not refutation. Second, Rebel Resource, I was in your shoes not long ago. I saw all the anti-capitalist videos...

She's not a RP supporter for one reason. She kept insisting that everything is going to work itself out. She even bluntly said that devaluing the currency is a good thing because it makes our goods more competitive and that we "NEED" foreign companies to buy out our American ones. She's one of...

Blatantly borrowed from the Wikipedia entry here. "When the expenses of the U.S. Government exceed the revenue collected, it issues new debt to cover the deficit. This debt typically takes the form of new issues of government bonds which are sold on the open market. However, the debt can also...

Am I on the forum I think I'm on? This is a Ron Paul forum right? This statement completely contradicts the idea behind supporting Dr. Paul. Please rebut based on the content of the OP.

I didn't say I'd get congress to pass it. I said it was a solution. "A" solution being the key. Would it be effective? Why or why not? Would you support it? Why or why not? What are the benefits of this solution? What are the downfalls? Has something like this been tried before? How was it...

Well, I've been doing a great deal of thinking about our monetary problems and think I found a solution that adequetely addresses most of the difficulties we are facing. I believe it's well thought out and that I've addressed everything, but please look over the following proposal and give give...
