you frigtards and gold-nuts who think the Fed magically farts out pallets of Benjamins have no idea how money is created. as tempting as it is to assume that Ben calls Hank and tells him to fire up the presses, that's not how it works.
short lesson here: http://market-ticker.denninger.net/2007/12/moneycredit-cycle.html
I am by most standards a libertarian-leaning democrat, and I want nothing to do with St Paul of Texas. gold standard? laughable. abolish the Fed? well, one more rate cut and I'd be OK with that. abolishing the rest of the things he wants to eliminate? ridiculous and anarchic. his Jesus-addled stands on social issues are NOT libertarian no matter much how he puts a states-rights constitutionalist gloss on them viz: abortion and same-sex marriage amongst others. his association with white-supremacy groups is just odious.
the ONE thing I can agree upon with him is the war. that's not enough.
