    Money is nothing

    Damn Straight!! Glad your pops is okay. If you don't have your health, money isn't shit. I personally know a guy that was worth maybe 120 million at one time. He owns a company that makes plastic injected mold parts for the auto industry. I have no idea what he's worth now, nor do I...

    Jeff Lacker Is Only Sane Federal Reserve Member

    I guess history will be his ultimate judge, but I tend to agree with you. It's not that he's stupid; it's that he allowed Paulson & The Treasury Department to influence fed policy to the degree he did, to the benefit of Paulson & Friends, and to the detriment (IMO) of most of America.

    Paul is the 800 lbs gorilla, or white elephant, in the room. Everyone with a brain knows he's right, but those very same people can't seem to help him find a real platform with real power. Maybe there aren't many people with brains?
