Some stupid questions in the Q&A, but davids presentation and speech were top notch.

I guess he realized there is no chance social security and medicaid are ever going anywhere, so the new foundation is looking for ways to change things in ways the retards running the country might actually accept.


His new movie that apparently will be airing around the country seems to feature Ron Paul several times. The preview for IOUSA had Ron Paul speaking several times and video of him on the house floor at least once.

"inflation is the cruelest tax of all...we can't inflate our way out"

also, It's always good to hear him state the 4 reasons the Roman Empire ended ie good for the public to know the path we're headed down in relation to a historical example.

William Brock is stupid. Put more into "human development"? That's the PROBLEM!

Senator Kent Conrad sounds great

He's not all stupid, he wanted to replace the payroll tax with an import tax

One thing that really touched one of my nerves, was that Senator Conrad talking about another Senator's CAREER being ended, after he brought up a consumption tax. CAREER? That's one of the damn problems. Being a congressman or a senator was never intended to be a CAREER.

It also ticked me off when Brock and others were talking about the amount the government was spending on education and saying it needed to spend more, because our kids were failing. They're failing BECAUSE of the government, so we damn sure don't need more of their intervention. They need to get the hell out of it.

Why? He meant INCREASE education funding. Your sig doesn't work

This presentation is the first time I've heard David Walker say "only the Congress can declare war". He carries a copy of the constitution at all times. Man, I love this guy !

BTW, if you watch this, be sure to note the OP's mentioning

meeting starts about 32minutes into video.
