I noticed it too. It looks like it was designed to be a Sandwich board as the below half was right reading. Guessing you didn't notice that? Did you even watch the video?

What struck me was the age of the people in this video. Hope for this election and hope for years to come. Watch it!

You mean the little kids who are not old/mature enough have informed opinions of their own and who are just holding the signs mommy and daddy told them to?

No actually their parents, most late 20's early 30's and the college kids. His message seems to be resonating mostly with those who will be the clean-up crew after our generation leaves them the mess. It's soon going to be "Last Call" to this spending and debt orgy.

I thought about the sandwich board but there is no hole for the head.

Of course I didn't watch the video. People who bring home movies to the water cooler are bores.

You are kind. I was going going to write that by the time they are old enough to vote, Ron Paul would be dead.

Perhaps but the ideas live ong after the man. I do so love how almost no one debates the issues he's raised.

Just wondering if you even know what a fiat currency is and how it effects YOUR grocery bill?

Don't worry the Empty Suit doesn't know either, but Bernanke does.

Basically it's called "Commodity Inflation" & fiat currency.

When a government inflates its currency, it increases prices by reducing the purchasing power of the money. The short-term effects though, can seem to be positive. Like a drug addict, inflated money gives the illusion of prosperity, making people feel good. But like the addict, withdrawal follows the high.

At first, the surge of more money makes people feel good be-cause they can pay off their debts with cheaper money and they seem to have more disposable income. As prices catch up, people then find it more expensive to live. In addition, their tax burden goes up, since many government taxes are progressive in nature, meaning the percentage tax increases as in-come or asset values (houses, cars, etc.) increase. Eventually the market will try to correct itself and a depression will follow.

We didn't go into a full blown Depression but we're pretty close. Europe is near economic collapse for the same reasons we are. Failure to control debt and use of a fiat currency issued by a central bank. fiat currencies don't harm the wealtjy bankers and "old Money" of the world, it harms the average person and frankly keeps them enslaved.

Thanks for the lesson Mr. Beck.

Now go back and protect your pile of gold.

Basic Austrian School economics! as opposed to the failed Keynesian model in use now. If you're referring to glenn Beck, I haven't watched or listened to him in over a year.

Keep in mind that Ron Paul preficted the Housing Bubble in 2003, but hey why allow simple facts get in the way.

Like how is he going to win the nomination supporting legalization of cocaine and heroin?

Being a sideshow has its disadvantages.

Yes, that I used to buy the Cinquecento.

Seriously, no credible economist on either side of the political spectrum advocates a return to the gold standard.
