Libertarian debate w/ Stossel on Fox Business April 1 & 8- FULL VIDEO ADDED

[idiom]

"I think we’re sitting on an economic bubble. A financial bubble. ... We’re not at 5 percent unemployment. We’re at a number that’s probably into the 20s if you look at the real number. That was a number that was devised, statistically devised, to make politicians – and in particular presidents – look good. And I wouldn’t be getting the kind of massive crowds that I’m getting if the number was a real number.

"I’m talking about a bubble where you go into a very massive recession. Hopefully not worse than that, but a very massive recession. Look, we have money that’s so cheap right now. And if I want to borrow money, I can borrow all the money I want. But I’m rich. ... If somebody is a great, wonderful person, going to employ lots of people, a really talented businessperson, wants to borrow money, but they’re not rich? They have no chance ..."

You have a situation where you have an inflated stock market. It started to deflate, but then it went back up again. Usually that’s a bad sign. That’s a sign of things to come.

Who does this remind you of? What other politicians blame America's woes on cheap money?


BTW none of the "liberty" candidates tackle the healthcare scam so cleanly as points 5 & 7 below, which together would cut medical costs by 80% in the US. Doing so would free up 12% of GDP. Not even Ron listed these for some reason that is beyond me.

5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, especially doctors and healthcare organizations like clinics and hospitals. Individuals should be able to shop to find the best prices for procedures, exams or any other medical-related procedure.

7. Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, reliable and cheaper products. Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service. Allowing consumers access to imported, safe and dependable drugs from overseas will bring more options to consumers.

Ron talked about how drugs should be allowed to be imported.

Trump, in the recent Chris Matthews interview, said our dollar is too strong.

The dude talks out both sides of his mouth.

But one of those sides is all of Ron Paul's talking points.

hey..idio..... what do the last few post have to do with the Libertarian debate?(part 1) .. Trump wasn't in it.. does not belong in this thread

 

[T.hill]

Considering he also likes natural-born Canadian Ted Cruz, that's really not saying much.

And Cruz is arguably the least bad candidate, which is why Justin endorsed him.

 

[ProIndividual]

The anarchist did pretty good.

 

[FSP-Rebel]

Love these guys^.

 

[RonPaulGeorge&Ringo]

Cruz is inarguaby a natural-born Canadian. Anyone supporting him is inarguably a treasonist.

Just missing the part where they were being leading lights for liberty. Is all a bit woeful.

It will be interesting to see the second round, maybe some adjustments on their part. It's not like these guys get this opportunity as much as the gop an dems do.

 

[opal]

I think the whole thing was done at once and because Stossel only has an hour broadcast, they had to split he airing

According to your understanding of the constitution, however being born to an American citizen is generally accepted as a sufficient condition to being considered a natural citizen of the United States. It could be argued that the current understanding is wrong, but either way I could care less tbh.

 

[T.hill]

You implying that he isn't a US citizen is an implication of your understanding of the constitution, not him being born in Canada or being a citizen of Canada of course.

I'm certainly going to be watching the next debate.

Will McAfee make some more killer statements?

Will Johnson make some more nazi cake comments?

Will Peterson make libertarianism sound bland still in a bookish, far away but correct way?

It's a lot more interesting than the two party debates were anyway

It will be a little bit different then seeing how candidates do on different days. If you see any difference - it will just be perceptual
