Gold and Silver are the only lawful and legal currency the American people are supposed to be using.The Federal Reserve is not part of the goverment and not legal under law. Dollars are not backed by gold and have no real value.Gold and Silver have real value, they do not lose value when saved like the illegal federal reserve notes we use today.From June 2007 to June 2008, every 100 dollars in savings lost 12% of its value, and your interest rates didn't cover that lose.

He doesn't stand for legalizing marijuana. He stands for giving states the right to decide for themselves whether it should be legalized or not, which gives more authority to citizens on the local level. This is Ron Paul's stance on most issues - get the federal gov't out of areas of our lives that it has no place in deciding.

.."Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."-Alan Greenspan

"If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold...

That IS NOT how gold works when it comes to backing a currency. The gold standard is very viable now and always has been. Have a read of what Alan Greenspan said:"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold....

As ideal as it sounds, returning to gold won't work because there isn't enough in the world. Also, it is a commodity, which means that the value of it changes with demand for it. I love Ron Paul, but this is the only policy of his I don't agree with because of it's idealism.

He won't win but if he did he would be assasinated as soon as he took office. When you give the control of money to bankers they control the economy. That is why if we go back to gold it will EXTREMELY help our nation.

Yeh, Ron Paul wants to legalize Marijuana. The fact is, legalizing it would save a lot more lives than if we kept it illegal. And what's the matter with returning to gold?

You are a fool who is seething to destroy this country! I see that now.

...that you give up on poor Mr. Paul and look forward to the upcoming senatorial elections, unless of course his seat is up on November 4th, (GROAN!!) by all means, support him! McCain & Paul are both senile! If you think that what Dubya did to this country has been bad then put McCain or Paul into office and I guarantee you that we will look back in fondness on the cokehead fratboy... |
