Ron Paul: There’s Anger… There’s Going To Be Riots In The Streets
By Rocky Vega
05/07/10 Stockholm, Sweden – Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was on Fox News yesterday, discussing Greece and describing how the financial crisis has become a currency crisis… which is much worse. He sees an attack on the dollar in terms of gold, and has no doubt that the currency crisis is a worldwide problem.
Referring to whether or not Greece-like riots could take place in the US he says:
“Absolutely, there’s going to be anger. There’s going to be riots in the streets as well. But this is all a consequence of the fact of why and how government could spend like this. It’s because they don’t have sound money.
“When we run up deficits, we tax, but never enough. We can’t tax, it would ruin the economy. Then we borrow, and we get away with that for a long time. But, we rely on printing presses from the Federal Reserve to create money and that’s where the problem is [...] we can’t have fake money, this is counterfeit.”

RP nails it again. When will people wake up?
Riots in the streets are nothing new here. They have been, and will be, by anarchists and leftists.
For those who are going to jump in and talk about how right Ron Paul is:
Please email me so I can provide you with my mailing address. I will happily take your “fake money” off your hands.
90% of people will never wake up. They don’t about anything except for the next 5 minutes.
RP is right about that (to the headline).
True just look at the so called Conservative Republicans rolling over.
Ron Paul has it right. Similar comments by Gerald Celente
“Conservative” Republicans only add to the problem by putting the USA further and further into debt.
Do you want the Zimbabwe or Iraq paper first?
That’s what I figure!
I want Ron Paul's U.S. dollars and anybody on this thread who agrees with him. If his money is, as he says, "counterfeit" and "fake money" why would he or anybody here want it? If you are keeping it then you must believe in it's worth and therefore disagree with Ron Paul. It's as simple as that.
>> He sees an attack on the dollar in terms of gold
No big deal, that.
I’ll worry when there’s a quote unquote attack on the dollar in terms of the things I care about and actually BUY. Like food.
Ain’t happening yet. Not saying never, but it ain’t happening yet.
The anger is here and it's not because of a financial crisis. It's because our beloved country is being systematically destroyed by the scum in DC.
Ron Paul is ALWAYS saying crap like that
...even if he is right this time.
Since the dollar is not backed by anything physical it is worth what people consider it to be worth. Since wealthy people and nations around the world would suffer greatly if the dollar were to drop in value too much, it holds its value. It still fluctuates, but it doesn't collapse.
However, that only holds true as long as the world feels they need us. The more debt we build up the more precarious our position becomes, and it is unlikely we will no we have pushed things too far until it collapses.
Our national debt is already at absurd levels, so it's hard to say what might be the breaking point. Most of our politicians appear to believe that there is no breaking point.
Poor Ron Paul. He charges forward while most of the rest of us stand back and laugh at him.
