Ron Paul does know his stuff, but it is the stuff that Americans - up to this point - did not want to hear.

You see, we liked our lives the way they were and we didn't want to think or worry about the things that Ron Paul was telling us. Perhaps we'll listen now.

Not only do many not want to hear it, but most refuse to acknowledge that our monetary system problems caused the housing mess, not the other way around.

Americans always want a happy ending. We always want to believe nothing truly bad will ever happen. We believe we’ll always be number 1 (which I sincerely hope, but highly doubt). And we always want to spend, so much so that we drive ourselves into enormous debt (federal, state, and personal).

Politicians keep playing into it to. What were we told to do after 9/11. Shop. It was good for the economy!

When people are in a Ponzi scheme, they just don't want to hear it. When it crashes on them, they don't tend to give the messenger credit for the warning they ignored.

But since we're all being taken along for the ride, we can only hope that the idiots start paying attention soon!
