"But, but, we shouldn't spend any money on the auto industry?"
"Well, if we liquidate the bad assets, we can come out of this more quickly...all we're doing is keeping them around and creating a dollar crisis in the process."
"But, but, people will be unemployed!"
"Even the employed people won't have enough money to buy anything if we create hyperinflation."
"But....but what do we DO??"

I agree, they don't want to hear the news there is nothing that can be done except let free market forces work (even as the free markets fight government interference and interference from the Federal Reserve Private Banking Cartel.
However, this is where I was yelling at my screen, don't miss this golden opportunity ! This is where Dr. Paul can gain tens of thousands of fans.

- Tell your friends, family, and neighbors to call, too ?
- Donate some additional time to the local living assistance charity of your choice ?
- Sell your damn boat ?
- Point out we reelected 80% of congress that had a 9% approval rating and say do your homework and become an educated voter ?
- Only vote for elected officials that pledge in writing to DECREASE government budgets?
- Only vote for elected officials that pledge in writing they will not deficit spend ?
