    H.R. 1955 - a poem by Jane Harman

    i just discovered the Committee on Homeland Security's fact sheet on HR 1955 http://homeland.house.gov/sitedocuments/hr1955factsheetpdf.pdf they repeatedly assert the obvious... that this bill doesn't create any new laws or crimes, and only aims to study them. this bill is basically a...

    The Federal Reserve System - Purposes & Functions

    lol dude your input would help but i understand. i've mellowed out a lot over here ... barely have the desire to wage debate lately, esp ego engagement. it's prolly just the holiday food and down time. i don't blame you :)

    The Federal Reserve System - Purposes & Functions

    sure. i'm referring to the fed's role in creating inflation - the intentional reduction of the purchasing power of the dollar. existing wealth appreciates at the expense of everyone who uses or saves cash but doesn't own significant assets. (most people) this self reinforcing concentration...

    Maine Wants The Enron Loophole Closed

    they're not talking about ending speculation in energy altogether. they're talking about ending spec in unregulated OTC marketplaces that can be highly manipulative, and bringing trade back to nymex. as an exchange player i'm all for it

    The Federal Reserve System - Purposes & Functions

    we've come a long way on this issue in the last 15 months. i'm slightly astounded by the explosion in public discourse on the fed. i'm seeing aggressive new blogs, new books, voluminous discussions all over the net, also offline among normally econ-shy folk. mainstream debate/scrutiny...

    "Why did I spend $85,000 to support Ron Paul ?"

    i can't tell if you're purposely obtuse or just dumb zzz. our points are laid out as simply and unemotionally as possible. if you don't get it, reread. or just sleep it off man. you sound drunk

    "Why did I spend $85,000 to support Ron Paul ?"

    Ron Paul was an obstetrician for christ's sake if he were pro choice, you'd still be calling inconsistency, probably even moreso i've always tended toward choice in my personal view, but i'm willing to accept his position in the context of his overall platform

    "Why did I spend $85,000 to support Ron Paul ?"

    of course not, i say put Ron Paul under an electron micrograph. flip him inside out.. everything i've seen so far has been complete bias, spin or smear... produce substance Russert's brand of scrutiny, at least in this interview, seemed like purposeful bias to me. just my opinion of...

    "Why did I spend $85,000 to support Ron Paul ?"

    man are you stretching things.. you're putting forth a major effort to smear this guy. it's actually a pretty good sign imo did anyone see the Tim Russert - Meet The Press interview? i never watch the show, but was pretty surprised at the degree of blatant bias in Tim Russert's...

    Homeland Security Turns Spy Satellites On Citizens - Wash Post / WSJ.

    seems like a bit of an odd contradiction doesn't it we'll watch you in your home with military grade technology, but we'll leave the border as porous as we can possibly get away with

    Ron Paul breaks fundraising history!

    i only represent myself. i've considered whether it's better to back off the advocacy of ron paul. what you frequently attempt to do, and glenn beck it seems as well, is reduce all 911 doubt to the opinions of its deepest fringe elements. you attempt to portray the entire notion as taboo...

    Ron Paul breaks fundraising history!

    mind you.. earlier this year he was also discussing the belief that the US might attempt to go into Iran with a staged Gulf of Tonkin type event he may disavow no planers and remote controllers, but that doesn't necessarily imply everything you'd prefer it to. a lot of people who want...

    Paul keeps white supremacist donation (paul just lost my vote and future donations )

    definitely ironic in light of your posting history tgregg. why is it on ET that we have blatant racists calling ron racist, and self described rednecks like haroki calling ron's advocates rednecks? some of you guys have weird issues

    Ron Paul GOP Frontrunner To Beat Hillary - Zogby

    i've been wanting to expand on all this ET rhetoric. tonight i was out at a bar, a little bored, and decided to approach the first random person to my right about their politics. it turned out to be a decided ron paul supporter not an objective sampling, but not surprising either. Ron...

    Paul keeps white supremacist donation (paul just lost my vote and future donations )

    zzz who do you support? ..do they filter their contributions? is there a politician that meets your standard? who? personally i agree with reardan's pov. popularity isn't selective. paul has no reason to pick and choose the beliefs of people who advocate ideological freedom. it...

    abolish the Federal Reserve?

    it's interesting that bernanke describes the creation of money as happening at 'essentially no cost' that may be true for the banks that loan it, but absolutely not for the end users who borrow it, the taxpayers who finance it and the savers and consumers who are inflated out of it (most...
