I've been reading an old book about economics by Harry Browne, written in
1970. Upon reading the section on inflation, I believe I have finally
figured out why the powers that be hate Ron Paul so much...HE WILL EXPOSE
THEIR FOLLY IN MESSING WITH MONETARY ISSUES, causing the end of their
disastrous schemes.
It seems that the BIG WAR CANDIDATE and TWO BIG HEALTHCARE CANDIDATES have
been chosen. Is this a coincidence? I think not. The government and Fed
need to have someone in office who will EXPAND THE GOVERNMENT OUTPUT OF
THE MONEY SUPPLY, in turn inflating our money. It's their easiest way
out. They COULD tax us to death, but that is not politically expedient.
They COULD continue borrowing, but soon enough we taxpayers will have to
pay up. I realize that they've been doing this, too. But I believe it's
the Republicans who seem to tout tax CUTS rather than tax HIKES, which are
brought on by Democrats, who seem to have no taxation jitters.
I'm thinking that with the GLOBAL ECONOMY that we've become, it may
actually be MCCAIN that wins in November. He can not only ship out
American jobs to other countries, e.g. France (Airbus defense contracts),
but he can also try to keep the Middle East amenable to the dollar. Gotta
keep the dollar viable, I would think, in order to keep this Ponzi scheme
going. The recent Iranian Oil Bourse has got to be anathema to the likes
of John McCain.
Also, there's NO WAY someone like Ron Paul can get any traction. Electing
him would probably mean a huge depression. Even though his way is the
moral way, the other clowns are willing to play along with the regularly
scheduled program.
I am DEFINITELY a neophyte to this topic. I welcome anyone's comments on
my thoughts---For all I know, I'm WAAAY off. (The book was written in
1970, after all...Things may have changed a bit.)
