But the head honcho is GOP, and the head honcho gets the most blame.

This is the largest robbery in the history of man-kind.

Schiff was Ron Pauls economic adviser. Schiff predicted this entire disaster, and tried to warn.

All these party frauds from both sides look pretty bad right about now.

That's why we wrote in Paul for President this time around. We knew he wouldn't win, but we sure sleep better knowing were wise to all these political frauds.

Everyone should watch the video you provided here.

Yes, we are a nation of debt and spenders with no savings. The day of reckoning is coming. In the meantime, I am going out on Black Friday and charge Christmas!

Like I said in another thread, there are people out there who are genetically hard-wired for stupidity and dependence. Even if they are capable of providing for themselves, they don't want to provide for themselves, and expect the rest of humanity to burp them and change their diapers. They aren't fit to breathe our air.

He may be right, but he’s still a nazi sympathizer.

The Man Who Called The Collapse...Totally predicted it and tried to warn all.

Peter Schiff, Ron Paul's financial adviser.

I'd vote for Buchanan and Peter Schiff before any of these inept bozos from either party.

they don’t want to because we have a govt policy that encourages their laziness. Why work when your unemployment benefits get extended? Why bother saving when govt helps you get a loan?

As many right-on thing as Schiff constantly advocates for; the skeptic in me feels the need to point out that someone who is perpetually pessimistic will eventually - by the laws of probability - be proven right.

To the elite, economic history is just a giant pyramid scheme that must be perpetuated lest we should all wake up and be incapable of deceiving ourselves into prosperity out of thin air anymore.

RE :Schiff was Ron Paul’s economic adviser.

I found that out too late. I was turned off when Paul said we could just abandon Iraq , but he looks brillant otherwise,he looks like a genius, the R party is looking like an aimless losers.

It’s easy to be against Obama. But what if you want to believe in R leader Bush GWB, because you want the best for country, and you used to have a party you were proud of 1993-1996, and you painfully year after year watch them go the wrong way. And you know that they will lose big time because they deserve it? And your fellow remaining conservatives blame the media (which is liberal and one sided this election, but partially because it goes after smelled blood like GWB) and you remember a party you were proud of, but you know a failure to realize mistakes will bring further doom? That is where we are. 1993 looks like a wonderful dream. Dick Armey where are you!

I’m no big fan of Pat Buchanan, but he’s right this time. There just seem to be no good choices.

He’s talking about on average. For the first time in history I believe Americans on average spent more than they took in.

“the congress, the fed and the people controlling the treasury understand this? “

The congress really doesn't understand this, but know that they need to keep the cash turning to keep their place in the power and cash steam that lets them live in style and retire with incomes several dozen times the net worth amount they entered congress with.
The fed doesn't want anyone beyond their circle to know how it all works.. it just keeps them in the power circles and secure for life. Proof? Name one in the last half century+++ that has seen jail or left bankrupt?
Treasury folks know who prints the money and knows the details of how the cash actually gets to the Fed. Again, name one Treasury wheel or underling who has seen jail or left in embarrassment in the last 50++ years.

I was that way about Paul at first too. Then I actually started researching monetary policy and the banking system and realized he knew what he was talking about.

I would be afraid too if I were agreeing with Pat.

But you likely aren’t agreeing with him, you are just agreeing on a couple of specific facts in this whole debacle. Undoubtedly, you don’t agree that the solution to all this is to stop trading with foreign countries and build a giant wall around the U.S. to protect union jobs in the upper midwest. And you probably don’t think that we should have put our hands over our eyes and watched WWII happen without us simply because Hitler ‘really wasn’t that bad’ and the real cause of WWII was Churchill trying to protect Poland and France.

Getting into bed with Buchanan on anything is a suicide pact. It’s a short plank and everybody else has to walk it with him when he makes his next wackjob claim - and the GOP will always get tarred with the same brush.

Under Bush, we witnessed the biggest expansion of government in American history.

Really easy, they don't care

You can spin it any way you want but the bottom line is this will make the electorate more beholding to the traitors in Washington.

Why don't these idiots take the 73 billion and turn it over to every working US citizen and tell them to pay off their debts then return what is left over.

Many Freepers have consistently belittled Pat, I have always had a soft spot for the man and yeah when he is right he is dead right. As the constant realist, I believe we are headed for a monumental change and none of us will like it. As to guarantees to our Chinese friends, how about the passing on of our secret technology, you know, the ‘no way, never happen’ kind.
