Old people on fixed income count on Walmart and the cheap chinese imports.

Want proof? Go to your local walmart the day they get their checks.

I'm literally SHAKING from what I just saw on CNBC.

Holy cow.

It's President Paul schooling Helicopter Ben today, but doesn't have the footage talked about in this thread.

we NEED a Wallstreet Ron Paul flyer !!!!!!!
and people distributing it in the morning and evening in front of wallstreet !!!

these points expressed in a more eloquent way should suffice :

* a sane monetary policy
* who should do this ? the fed ???? not the fed, but the marketplace !!
* how ? : competing currencies are allowed by government
* for example one backed by gold
* this would force the fed, by marketplace competition, to either phase out of existance or to adopt a sane monetary policy and prevent them doing their usual boom/bust cycles no one can predict but them.

i think this would be great !

Economics makes me dizzy.

That's because they make it that way. It is really easy overall I think, but when you start to get into specifics they start using really crazy shit.

 

[mport1]

YouTube of Santelli thing?

 

[LibertyEagle]

OMG I cannot BELIEVE that just happened.

Holy Cow.

I'm shocked. I figured they'd be for propping up Wall Street by printing money out of thin air. Even if it totally destroyed our dollar.

Any books out there you would recommend someone to read on economics?

 

[Patrick Henry]

Yes Yes Yes I Saw It

Rick Santelli Told The Truth And Steve Liesman Freaked Out!

Liesman is a Democrat shill.

 

[mport1]

Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. It should be your first stop.

 

[LibertyEagle]

I heard it on satellite radio...

Steve Liesman rebutted that "Ron Paul's economics leave alot to be desired".

He then went into CNBC fed-apoligist mode saying how if retired people are spending their money within the US, they aren't being negatively impacted by the declining dollar.

Yeah, but did you notice that Bernanke said that it WOULD hurt us if we spent our money on products not made in America (or something like that). WHAT EXACTLY do we still make in America anyway?

Don't give up on working to understand it. It will "click" and a whole new world of understanding the game will open up for you. It's worth it to research terms ask questions and understand the ropes.

They really should do a better job of covering it in depth in Highschool.

In Pauls video to a group of homeschoolers, he said the one disadvanatge he felt he had going to public schools was how much he had to RELEARN, about what he was taught about the Constitution and then, Economics.

So does the CPI they're talking about measure all consumer goods and services? Things like milk and eggs prices are going way up, but technological goods like computers and cell phone prices go down. I just wanna know how they can say inflation is 2% when prices for some goods continue to rise. Is it because Bernake is full of it? And why would they include technological goods when the advances in that market occurs so quickly? Wouldn't a better measure of inflation be the increase in money supply that they don't publish any longer? Thanks for anybody that can help, I'm just trying to understand all of this a little bit more.

 

[jd603]

Yeah that youtube video is not of what was discussed, even if it was great! hheh

 

[freelance]

So does the CPI they're talking about measure all consumer goods and services?

No, it leaves out food and energy, and the rest of the stuff in the "basket" changes to make it appear lower. Whatever's "on sale" goes on the list. Whatever's skyrocketing, well you get the picture...

[BIG_J]

No CPI does not include housing, oil and Milk.
