The inane economic stimulus checks didn’t help, either.

Gee, printing money ad infinitum without regard for inflation in order to bailout over-reaching corporations who should by rights die in a free-market after profiting because of a free-market will eventually kill our monetary system???

Ron Paul is a giant among midgets. If nothing else the man has absolutely consistent principle in fighting big government forces.

Insane and foolhardy will soon replace Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, as a national slogan. Ron Paul has been absolutely correct on economic matters as it relates to our current crisis. We would do well to get our other elected officials to listen to him because most of them have not got the first clue.

Ron Paul: Bailouts Will 'Destroy the Dollar'

Uh, Ron?? How much more does it need to be destroyed? In the 20s (I believe), we went off the gold standard. In the 60s, we went off the silver standard.

Today, the dollar is worth only what Congress says it is - based on that, I consider the dollar already destroyed!!!

The trillions in taxpayer bailouts (handouts) are/have economically decimated America, but those trillions are massively enriching the select few (Paulson's personal big banking cohorts), since there is absolutely no oversight and zero accountability regarding where these massive amounts of tax money have disappeared. Investigating newly opened Swiss bank accounts would be advised for starters.

With Paulson & his Goldman Sachs arch-manipulating insiders, soon to be rolled over to the Obama version & his collection Goldman Sachs 'advisors' (chosen for him), we might as well be existing in a slightly different version of Putin's financial dictatorship.

If folks here by now are not buying gold and silver, then they need to just shut the **** up when it all goes down.

It is like those flashing signs that cover the whole overpass telling you “YOU ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A BAD WRECK!”

Not much way to avoid it. Just be sure you and the family are buckled in, all items securely stowed, both hands on the wheel, and reduce your speed. You might survive. The average american is screaming along at 80, rifling thru the glovebox for some breathmints while flipping thru the radio looking for that replay of the latest tune, while the kids are bouncing around with the dog and the dvd players in the back seat. It is going to be messy.

If the dollar is so doomed, then how did I just fill up my car’s gas tank for $20? Could it be that Paul is wrong once again.

Ron Paul: Bailouts Will 'Destroy the Dollar

Ron is not completely nuts. This is absolutely true. Only I would change "will" to "have".
