      Virginia Looking At Alternative To US Currency

      This a really a non-problem, consider: First, if several states adopt gold and silver as currency that they are not at all adopting different monies but a common money. When people exchange gold and silver coinage it is the mass of metal being exchanged which constitutes its value. So maybe...

      Please vote to keep our flag in schools

      Let me say at the outset that I won't be able to reply and keep up in a timely manner with this thread. First, I'd like to ask those who strongly support the flag and pledge of allegiance what goal/purpose is being sought in these things? *Why* should our youngest citizens have a flag in their...

      Put me in charge!!!

      Done that. It was not long at all until he conceded that (1) he was defrauded by government because their savings were squandered by our rulers and no real savings exists (2) for them to be paid what they were "promised" involved wrongdoing by forcibly seizing money from others (e.g. those who...

      Put me in charge!!!

      Exactly right. To prevent "abuse" gov't would have to proceed to so fully control a person's life that they could not make any exchanges with others. The government programs should instead be completely abolished.

      Privileges vs. Rights.

      Of course, our topic here is not what the government has the power to do, bur rather the rightful authority to do. Although I have a favorable opinion of the founding fathers and constitution, I do not see it as means of making the point you want to here. The reason is that it is not a...

      Privileges vs. Rights.

      The above sounds very utilitarian. IMHO this method is building on shaky ground. It is better to adopt and follow a principled approach to what is permissible and what is not. The human mind is very creative, and is very, very good at invent scenarios, fictitious or real, to step from one...

      NIA Projects Future U.S. Food Price Increases

      I hope they don't do so. Everyone should know, but doesn't that price controls are the worst of all. When they exist, rationing immediately follows, and producers stop producing. Then, instead being able to get something at a high price, you can't get something at any price.

      Favorite quote

      "Economic knowledge necessarily leads to liberalism" ~Ludwig von Mises. For those unfamiliar with the historical use of the word liberalism, it means something in many ways the opposite of the modern day word "liberal". The modern liberal seeks to use government force as a means to bring...

      why am i not surprised by these charts

      There never was a surplus, for expenditures always exceeded taxation. The alleged surplus is only sustainable if one ignores that the government was squandering the money of the social security trust fund during this time. See The Myth of the Clinton Surplus. Unfortunately, this has been a...

      Ron Paul now in charge of Federal Reserve oversight committee

      Don't hesitate to critique me. If there is an error in my knowledge, you might injure my pride by pointing it out - but in the end it is a benefit for me. Indeed it is true that people do have the option of savings, namely building up their cash balances, instead of spending. I did not all...

      Ron Paul now in charge of Federal Reserve oversight committee

      Hmm, the above synopsis omits the main point. Maybe I do not communicate well in writing. If I were to make a synopsis, it would be: P1,P2) the motor home industry suffers when consumers choose to buy other products instead. Because they are buying other things, some other industry in the...

      GOP already looking to negotiate raising the debt ceiling

      Keynesians say it doesn't matter what you spend on, just spend. Oh, and Krugman thinks a war would be a good way to do. R's, God forbid, might start thinking a war against someone like Iran would be great for our economy. Perhaps you had something else in mind?

      Ron Paul now in charge of Federal Reserve oversight committee

      There are two reasons this analysis is, I believe, not right. Here is why: First, there is the issue of not considering at the beginning the reason for the failure of the motor home business is not lack of demand, but a scarcity of resources. Remember that all human beings have unfulfilled...

      GOP already looking to negotiate raising the debt ceiling

      Well, government spending does produce government funded jobs - regardless of whether men are employed directly or indirectly. Thus diminishing the private sector directing resources, and hindering the recovery. After all, it is the private sector which produces what consumers want, but the...
