Cato Institute launches policy center against the Federal Reserve

[Matt Collins]

Bullshit. The people on the staff at CATO take orders. They've tried to pull the 'we give credence to anti-libertarian viewpoints for the purposes of a robust debate' canard before. It was trite and pathetic when they tried it, and it's still trite and pathetic when you try it.

Your ignorance is showing.

There are lots of policy disagreements within Cato, just as there are a lot of ideological disagreements within the Mises Institute. To deny that is to deny reality.

I guess you're just willing to accept any old bullshit masquerading around as 'libertarian' as long as there might be some payola in it for you. After all if you had it your way, we would have all licked Jesse Benton's boots as that bumbling stumbling idiot made a fool of himself and embarrassed the movement. So it's abundantly clear what your motivations are as you make your little chicken shit comments.

Just a Genocidal Maniac named Gary North that could make Stalin blush.

What do Gary North's personal religious beliefs have to do with the Mises Institute?

Their Vice President for Legal Affairs and director of Cato's Center for Constitutional Studies should not be defending NSA surveillance: "NSA surveillance in perspective".

Maybe that North has come out and said that he isn't actually a Libertarian but just uses the movement to promote himself in hopes that he can create a society that will stone children to death and execute non believers.

Selgin is good. He's principled and can put the deep and complex in understandable language, which is unusual for economists.

Looked him up; from this talk, I like where his head is.

END THE FED!

His talk begins at the 30 minute mark, and then speaks up during the Q&A. The whole discussion is worthy.

They haven't done anything

Thanks for the link.

He and Larry White are basically the successors to Hayek in the free banking school of thought.

LVMI doesn't like them because they reject Rothbardian banking. In fact, Selgin and Salerno got into it pretty bad over fractional reserves.

IMO, Mises himself would have sided with Hayek in support of free banking.

The Mises Institute is about economics, and that is where Gary North is an authority. He's working on the Ron Paul curriculum too and I think that's a good thing. I don't think his religious beliefs have influenced his work with the institute.

They haven't done anything

Except promote End the Fed for 30 years. While it took CATO until this week to start an official campaign against it.

Stoning children to death for not obeying their parents to death isn't an economic issue and is perfectly fine to associate with? K.

I don't give a shit about his religious beliefs and neither should you.

 

[Cutlerzzz]

I don't give a shit about anyone at the CATO Institutes views on Iraq and neither should you.

 

[KingNothing]

CATO is still a wolf in sheep's clothing outfit trying to co-opt the Paul movement.

The insanity never ends.

I will care as long as they continue to masquerade around as libertarians.

I will care about the Mises Institute so long as they masquerade as Libertarians.

 

[NewRightLibertarian]

It didn't take the Mises Institute decades to come out in favor of ending the fed. So I don't think any masquerading is necessary. As long as Gary North's economics are on point, I don't see any problem with him being involved with the institute. If he started promoting his ultra-religious BS under the banner of Mises, it would be a problem. But until that happens, I don't see any problem with him being involved with the Mises Institute or the Ron Paul homeschool curriculum.
