So, are there any reports of people testing their food with a geiger counter and getting readings in the USA? Is there any way of differentiating what food did or didn't come from Japan?

This was awesome. The end part was great. Sorry if this was already posted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiSCuD7F5VQ

We all know NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement - implemented in the early '90s) isn't really free trade but corporate managed trade. The thing is, a lot of people my dad's age remember NAFTA and associate that with the outsourcing of jobs overseas. If Ron starts harping on this...

Is Herman's 9-9-9 plan based off .999 gold/silver? Except his plan is for fiat.

Well I thought that retirees would be scared that RP would abolish social security. They hit Ron with that in a debate last election cycle. Can't Ron make the point that the federal government has trillions of dollars in land and assets that can be sold to the people to help pay for people...

Don't forget about the FED meeting June 22nd. The Bernank might announce something like a "3 month extension" of QE2 to help keep the economy from going into a double dip. I'd like to see where PMs are a couple of days before that meeting. At 2:15 ET on the 22nd the Bernank holds his post-FOMC...

Does this change RPF'ers view of nuclear energy being safe? Today shows that you never know what could happen, despite all the safeguards. The poll results taken from Feb. 2010 show 8% saying nuclear power is too dangerous, 82% say it isn't too dangerous, with 10% uncommitted.

If another financial meltdown ensues, we will see...(drumroll)... QE3 It will be massive and it will save us all.:collins:

You may be right regarding silver. The problem is, if the price gets very high, industry will look for alternatives to silver. It could bring about a big spike then a crash. All we're saying is that gold is more stable. It don't go up real fast and it don't go down real fast. I know you're...

Perhaps the money supply hasn't grown 40-fold in 40 years. But remember, the US set the price of gold at $ 35 in 1933, and kept it there for almost 40 years. During that time, they were increasing the money supply behind the scenes, until some other countries called their bluff. So gold was just...

5 feet away from Rahm...he should be glad he didn't run across him in the bathroom, or in the shower room at the gym. Just ask Democrat Eric Massa: http://blogs.reuters.com/frontrow/2010/03/08/democrat-gets-naked-with-rahm-emanuel-labels-him-son-of-devils-spawn/
