@@spacecassette2108 Actually it is thought out and understood. Ron Paul is just not going to understand. All money is a debt instrument and all debt instruments have 2 sides an asset side and a liability side. Whether its paper or gold, currency represents debt, its an iou. Anyone can create their own iou/money the trouble is how to get people to accept your currency? You can do me a favor and I could be in debt to you. I could then write on a piece of paper that you did that favor for me and I owe you something similar in value. My debt = your asset. You could then go around and give that piece of paper to someone else so long as anyone who accepts my money trusts me to return that favor and fulfill that promise to repay the favor. It is transferrable debt that will be accepted by people who trust me. Once that piece of paper comes back to me, I fulfill that promise and rip up that piece of paper as I can not owe myself something. The US dollar is accepted in many many places because of the taxes that drive its demand. The US dollar is a debt of the US govt and an asset to those who hold those dollars in the economy. Like my iou, the US dollar is the Govt's liability, it promises that that piece of paper will always be good to use to fulfill tax obligations. Once the Govt's dollars are returned to the US federal govt, US dollars are destroyed as tax liabilities are extinguished. "fractional banking institution would implode if there where no funding for it by private investors" We do not have fractional reserve banking, today all loans create the deposits. Banks create credit money out of thin air when you go in for a loan and sign that agreement, the bank creates an account with a deposit along with an agreement for you to repay that loan. Cryptocurrency is based in speculation and faith, the US dollar has the force of the federal govt behind it with taxes driving the demand for US dollars. What do you think happens when you don't pay your taxes? There is a hierarchy of money that you may not be aware of. Chucky cheese tokens are money, Disney dollars are money, how far that money goes depends on how much people trust that currency, how many people will accept that currency.

Powers that be would have run the biggest smear on him and his ideas ever, probably setting the concept of liberty back 500 years as the common person jeers and accepts anything they are told if not doing so would get them called a bad word or have their comfort or livelihood disrupted.
One thing that I can always relate to is what Spike Cohen said about Ron Paul, like spike I grew up pretty much a Neocon. Spike Cohen said "I think I was mad at Libertarians like Ron Paul, because it turned out they were always right." Ron Paul has to go down in my opinion as the least swayed, most loyal, and the most likely person to never vote or cave in based upon emotion. Dude was only one of two people who voted against the war in the middle east after 9/11 and even fought about it, and explained exactly what was going to happen, actually predicted the exact scenario before we ever even went over, and the amount of hate for him at the time was universal, however he was right. He was right about about the Fed, he was right about the expansion of government power and the loss of freedom, Ron Paul has pretty much told everyone the outcome of ever decision made by the government before the bill was even voted on. I actually found a video that was circulating on facebook, of "Ron Paul predicting the future" showing him talking in congress and on the news about things before they ever happened, one of the biggest ones was about desert storm, and how in some way it would cause a backlash.
If the Fed Chair controls inflation (by printing money or cash restriction) and the President and Congress create taxes or lower the taxes, then it’s clear every year who to vote for. It’s economic not political personalities.
Since everything is definitely going down the drain, why isn't anyone in government discussing freezing both rents and wages among other things , to protect the millions of Americans like they were hired to do?
I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong. And It's not a "natural" lack of value in fiat dollars causing inflation in particular markets and thereby causing currency devaluation in those markets, it's F.I.R.E. economics. It's Wall Street instrument inflation. This is evident in the housing bubble fallout, and now in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, which are also majorly fueled by speculation. The housing bubble crash really would have been a disaster like 1929 if the US Dollar were gold standard. But foreigners who want to destroy our REAL ECONOMY have put out this propaganda about the Fed fiat dollar not being real, and have further perpetuated the absolute myth that US sovereign debt will cause insolvency, when it in fact only balances private surplus against public deficit (money creation). The benefits of fiat SOVEREIGN currency are numerous, but here are just a few. 1. Fiat allows for economic expansions like industrial innovation, international trade, rising birth rates (new people will need money to spend and household expenses go up for new parents). Gold standard money cannot expand any faster than the gold market. This is why Congress took us off the gold standard every time we went to war and needed to fuel the war industry economy. This fueling of economy for war could be done for other industries in times of peace. It's just government spending BELOW CAPACITY, which means money creation with no risk of inflation. 2. Fiat insures budget solvency during money creation (deficit spending). The gold standard and lack of QE is why the INSTRUMENT INFLATION ON WALL STREET in the late 20's led to the Great Depression. The gold standard prevented the government from moving resources through public spending and PUTTING AMERICANS BACK TO WORK. Gold standard makes government debt REAL, thereby crippling Congress and our economy. The transfer of wealth today, takes place in the stock market, by inflating the price of goods via the attached instruments (like the housing bubble). This is no different than how the transfer of wealth took place in the 20's. To blame this WALL STREET INSTRUMENT INFLATION on the fact that the dollar is fiat is sheer lunacy, with no basis in fact and NO LOGIC. If the US Dollar were affixed to gold, WALL ST inflationary practices would have DIRE CONSEQUENCES, as in the GREAT DEPRESSION. 3. Fiat insures Treasury Bond solvency. Affixing the dollar to gold would hold the US Government responsible to FOREIGN INVESTORS FOR GOLD IN THE BOND MARKET. The bond market's purpose is to encourage investment, both foreign and domestic, in our NATION"S INFRASTRUCTURE. The debt is currently nominal, with no risk of insolvency, because the money is fiat and sovereign. 4. As long as our money is sovereign "fiat," foreign gold markets cannot "jerk" our currency around, or FORCE Congress to create more money, or raise taxes. If foreign markets caused the gold prices to go up, and our Dollar was gold standard, the Treasury through the Fed would have to create money and deposit it in the account at the Fed just to cover the new "price" of gold. If the gold went down in foreign markets, the Fed would have to respond with high interest rates on bond offerings. Sounds like FIAT MONEY TO ME, which simply means by decree. But a gold standard "decree" would put our Congress and our central bank at the mercy of the global gold market. That would be really STUPID. Gold or no, Congress has the power to fix the economy through spending and taxing back in some of the currency. If Ron Paul would read an MMT book, he might learn something. The very reason for gold's "high" value is the same as the reason for the housing securities' "high value," that is, SPECULATION. So the "real" value of gold is not actually any more "real" than the value of any metal, or commodity or resource. If the fiat money is used to purchase goods and services, thereby moving real resources, including gold, and employing citizens to do work, it is AFFIXED TO THOSE RESOURCES THROUGH SPENDING and is thereby REAL MONEY. czcams.com/video/WS9nP-BKa3M/video.html
Yeah sure, go ahead and send gold by airplane to California to import goods and services, I'm sure it's much more efficient than dollars which can be sent electronically through the internet in a matter of seconds with confirmation. Dollars are more technologically advanced than gold and silver and are better controlled in this age and environment. Gold and silver are the pre-industrial currencies. I'm not against holding gold and silver, in fact it's a good idea, I'm just pointing out that they do have severe limitations in the internet age.
It's all a show people. They allow Ron Paul to do this because it makes us feel like we have a voice in congress. This keeps people from revolting. Rather Paul is for real or he's just taking the Candy, I don't know. But now that he's gone his Rand Paul is trying to take it. I don't fall for it, I like Paul, but I think all he will do is address issues and nothing will get done. He wants to abolish the fed? He can't do that if he won president.
Ron Paul, like Peter Schiff, is a huckster who wants your REAL DOLLARS invested in HIS SHARES IN THE GOLD FUTURES MARKET. He knows that if the dollar is affixed to gold, it would encourage investment in gold, and cause a nice inflationary bubble for him to milk. Or maybe he's just stupid and innocent. He just said he wants people to put money in a mattress. That sounds pretty crappy for currency movement (aka an economy). So either Ron Paul doesn't understand a thing or three about the fiat dollar, or he does and he wants to sell you gold. I have a suspicion that he's just an idiot, since he loves the economic theory of a NOVELIST whose writing wasn't even very intelligent, so much that he named his son after her. Her fiction named characters as heros who had built their businesses in GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED MARKETS. The benefits of fiat SOVEREIGN currency are numerous, but here are just a few. 1.

Roofchatter holy shit dude. Why do you hate Ron Paul so much? You really think he does this for a couple extra dollars in his pocket? You are siding with international bankers over an old man who served and most likely has the best interest for the country in mind. You must be a troll or something.. or just seriously ill
Public debt? It's all corruption between politicians and Bankers. Here's the point: If only the State can print money, how is it the State is indebted in the "product" that only the State can produce? Who are those "private people" who are claiming that debt to the State: do they print money?!
And today it's even more true, Ron Paul did not miss...... I am going back listening to his videos and everything he said that was going to happen came or it is happening now.
thats if your country remains in a good economy for that long! then sure the value of a particular currency may go up but it can also go down! therefore silver is preferred because it is stable!

Please continue posting relevant content like this, hard-hitting journalism that favors the people's well-being, as opposed to catering to the highest bidder or just following orders.
True it really just about pegging it to the value of gold. Like if gold value increases so does the dolor and vis a versa. We could also deflate and then go back on the standard. Good question though

Paul: you don’t get it. This shalom Bernanke is not an American, his a Jewish. Don’t you get it? They are loyal to their religion, not to any countries flag.
@CAl Gond the banks make money artifically inflating assets and as such devalue actual work. If the money they generated was actually used to build more homes rather than give people more money to sustain the housing bubble they'd not be metaphorical parasitic leeches on the economic system they created where they get paid to ensure that wealth creates more wealth.
I am now totally convinced that paper and stock investments are less than worthless. I am going to spend the rest of my life investing in precious metals only. I may save in cash temporarily but only to then periodically get bulk coins, plates, et cetera. The only investment that NEVER goes belly up is precious metal. Been that way since literally the beginning of civilization.
That's fine, you'll miss out on enormous returns like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Tesla. The entire world doesn't just consist of gold and silver, it consists of many products, goods and services. The problem with gold bugs is they have tunnel vision and believe that world revolves around only gold and silver.
Bet people are wishing our government didn't get us into trillions of dollars of debt/print tons of money now that the American people actually need help. But the government now risks hyper-inflation if they give out too much at once.
LOL, I'll bet ever last idiot that bought silver bullion back then has loooooonnnng since regretted doing so. Right now is actually a decent time to buy silver again, but, it's still just a simple precious metal that provides no dividends, and gives a cost for owning it....
Exactly, invest in a business that actually returns money and creates wealth. Gold doesn't produce anything, it's just a metal. Reminds of the story about a man who burries his gold piece instead of putting it in a bank where it accrues interest. Hold a little bit of physical gold, but don't invest your entire life savings. Even a gold miner would be a better investment. Diversify.
KingJustice98 you can also create a business that sells gold and silver and make videos that exclusively promote them to gullible people. Hmmm, who could that be today (Peter Schiff, Mike Maloney)? Now that would make bank.

Ron Paul was so smart, I wish he was stll in congress
This was posted 10 years ago, wow, now look where we are, about 5$ for a gallon of gas now, and Ron Paul saw it coming .
The people in that room have no idea they're listening to an absolute legend.
The guy who also wants to legalize heroin, cocaine, meth and prostitution? That thinks states should decide slavery? He has taken libertarianism beliefs to an extreme, without thinking things through.

Ron Paul = the Gandalf of liberty. I miss this man so much.
HE TRIED TO WARN US
We could have had this man as President
Yea....... 😔
I agree - #Bernanke2024
I'm actually glad he didn't win. Powers that be would have run the biggest smear on him and his ideas ever, probably setting the concept of liberty back 500 years as the common person jeers and accepts anything they are told if not doing so would get them called a bad word or have their comfort or livelihood disrupted.
@@connor3030 dead 💀
lol the guy on the left 1:17
🤣
Wtf ha
1:17
Miss him in Congress
Knew how to call it out
One thing that I can always relate to is what Spike Cohen said about Ron Paul, like spike I grew up pretty much a Neocon. Spike Cohen said "I think I was mad at Libertarians like Ron Paul, because it turned out they were always right." Ron Paul has to go down in my opinion as the least swayed, most loyal, and the most likely person to never vote or cave in based upon emotion. Dude was only one of two people who voted against the war in the middle east after 9/11 and even fought about it, and explained exactly what was going to happen, actually predicted the exact scenario before we ever even went over, and the amount of hate for him at the time was universal, however he was right. He was right about about the Fed, he was right about the expansion of government power and the loss of freedom, Ron Paul has pretty much told everyone the outcome of ever decision made by the government before the bill was even voted on.
I actually found a video that was circulating on facebook, of "Ron Paul predicting the future" showing him talking in congress and on the news about things before they ever happened, one of the biggest ones was about desert storm, and how in some way it would cause a backlash.
Lmao, yeah, guy did his homework.
Hate that he's right too, and I voted for him!
Things keep getting worse
The man kept going on a rant without asking a question.
2022 this is relevant as ever with record inflation
Are we going to ignore Satoshi Nakamoto at 1:04?
what? who? :D
Please let's ignore parties now, and rally behind a man like this.
This is why these evil animals tried to stop Bitcoin.
Ron Paul dares to say that the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes ! The Emperor still laughs.
Bitcoin buy signals kept popping up but we didn't pay attention....fu***k
Amazing how ABC News and other corporate lapdogs don’t talk of this real crisis ever
and Bernanke got Nobel price :D
And look at where we r now.
What he's really making a case for is buying precious metals and real estate...
Still relevant 2021
1:18 ... so weird guy
He was trying to make Ron Paul seem foolish for what he said but nobody entertained his antics.
That was his inner-demon making a showing.
I would have laughed. I thought it was ron paul making a bit of a dry joke
If the Fed Chair controls inflation (by printing money or cash restriction) and the President and Congress create taxes or lower the taxes, then it’s clear every year who to vote for.
It’s economic not political personalities.
How did Bernanke keep a straight face through this? Lmao props to him.
Yeah he had to try to educate a complete moron.
Because he couldn't understand what Dr. Paul was saying
Probably secondary psychopathy

Real Money is Gold and Silver
I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong. And It's not a "natural" lack of value in fiat dollars causing inflation in particular markets and thereby causing currency devaluation in those markets, it's F.I.R.E. economics. It's Wall Street instrument inflation. This is evident in the housing bubble fallout, and now in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, which are also majorly fueled by speculation. The housing bubble crash really would have been a disaster like 1929 if the US Dollar were gold standard. But foreigners who want to destroy our REAL ECONOMY have put out this propaganda about the Fed fiat dollar not being real, and have further perpetuated the absolute myth that US sovereign debt will cause insolvency, when it in fact only balances private surplus against public deficit (money creation).
The benefits of fiat SOVEREIGN currency are numerous, but here are just a few.
1. Fiat allows for economic expansions like industrial innovation, international trade, rising birth rates (new people will need money to spend and household expenses go up for new parents). Gold standard money cannot expand any faster than the gold market. This is why Congress took us off the gold standard every time we went to war and needed to fuel the war industry economy. This fueling of economy for war could be done for other industries in times of peace. It's just government spending BELOW CAPACITY, which means money creation with no risk of inflation.
2. Fiat insures budget solvency during money creation (deficit spending). The gold standard and lack of QE is why the INSTRUMENT INFLATION ON WALL STREET in the late 20's led to the Great Depression. The gold standard prevented the government from moving resources through public spending and PUTTING AMERICANS BACK TO WORK. Gold standard makes government debt REAL, thereby crippling Congress and our economy. The transfer of wealth today, takes place in the stock market, by inflating the price of goods via the attached instruments (like the housing bubble). This is no different than how the transfer of wealth took place in the 20's. To blame this WALL STREET INSTRUMENT INFLATION on the fact that the dollar is fiat is sheer lunacy, with no basis in fact and NO LOGIC. If the US Dollar were affixed to gold, WALL ST inflationary practices would have DIRE CONSEQUENCES, as in the GREAT DEPRESSION.
3. Fiat insures Treasury Bond solvency. Affixing the dollar to gold would hold the US Government responsible to FOREIGN INVESTORS FOR GOLD IN THE BOND MARKET. The bond market's purpose is to encourage investment, both foreign and domestic, in our NATION"S INFRASTRUCTURE. The debt is currently nominal, with no risk of insolvency, because the money is fiat and sovereign.
4. As long as our money is sovereign "fiat," foreign gold markets cannot "jerk" our currency around, or FORCE Congress to create more money, or raise taxes. If foreign markets caused the gold prices to go up, and our Dollar was gold standard, the Treasury through the Fed would have to create money and deposit it in the account at the Fed just to cover the new "price" of gold. If the gold went down in foreign markets, the Fed would have to respond with high interest rates on bond offerings.
Sounds like FIAT MONEY TO ME, which simply means by decree. But a gold standard "decree" would put our Congress and our central bank at the mercy of the global gold market. That would be really STUPID.
Gold or no, Congress has the power to fix the economy through spending and taxing back in some of the currency. If Ron Paul would read an MMT book, he might learn something.
The very reason for gold's "high" value is the same as the reason for the housing securities' "high value," that is, SPECULATION. So the "real" value of gold is not actually any more "real" than the value of any metal, or commodity or resource. If the fiat money is used to purchase goods and services, thereby moving real resources, including gold, and employing citizens to do work, it is AFFIXED TO THOSE RESOURCES THROUGH SPENDING and is thereby REAL MONEY.

Gold is the money of kings. Silver is the money of the People. Paper money/debt is the money of slaves.
Yeah sure, go ahead and send gold by airplane to California to import goods and services, I'm sure it's much more efficient than dollars which can be sent electronically through the internet in a matter of seconds with confirmation. Dollars are more technologically advanced than gold and silver and are better controlled in this age and environment. Gold and silver are the pre-industrial currencies. I'm not against holding gold and silver, in fact it's a good idea, I'm just pointing out that they do have severe limitations in the internet age.

It's all a show people. They allow Ron Paul to do this because it makes us feel like we have a voice in congress. This keeps people from revolting. Rather Paul is for real or he's just taking the Candy, I don't know. But now that he's gone his Rand Paul is trying to take it.
I don't fall for it, I like Paul, but I think all he will do is address issues and nothing will get done. He wants to abolish the fed? He can't do that if he won president.
The love for dr Paul in the comments is a good sign for america
Ron Paul is the greatest. Ron Paul 2020!
Ron Paul, like Peter Schiff, is a huckster who wants your REAL DOLLARS invested in HIS SHARES IN THE GOLD FUTURES MARKET. He knows that if the dollar is affixed to gold, it would encourage investment in gold, and cause a nice inflationary bubble for him to milk. Or maybe he's just stupid and innocent. He just said he wants people to put money in a mattress. That sounds pretty crappy for currency movement (aka an economy).
So either Ron Paul doesn't understand a thing or three about the fiat dollar, or he does and he wants to sell you gold. I have a suspicion that he's just an idiot, since he loves the economic theory of a NOVELIST whose writing wasn't even very intelligent, so much that he named his son after her. Her fiction named characters as heros who had built their businesses in GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED MARKETS.

Roofchatter holy shit dude. Why do you hate Ron Paul so much? You really think he does this for a couple extra dollars in his pocket? You are siding with international bankers over an old man who served and most likely has the best interest for the country in mind. You must be a troll or something.. or just seriously ill
Thieves and swine. 🦉👹👁️. Hope it was worth it.
Public debt? It's all corruption between politicians and Bankers. Here's the point: If only the State can print money, how is it the State is indebted in the "product" that only the State can produce? Who are those "private people" who are claiming that debt to the State: do they print money?!
And hear we are today...
Hee needs your teeth FOR THE FEDERAL RESERVE!
And today it's even more true, Ron Paul did not miss...... I am going back listening to his videos and everything he said that was going to happen came or it is happening now.
This man should have been the president.
perhaps if this guy was a better speaker america would have chosen him
Thanks Glenn Beck for destroying Ron Paul's presidential campaign.
thats if your country remains in a good economy for that long!
then sure the value of a particular currency may go up
but it can also go down!
therefore silver is preferred because it is stable!

The US dollar is not money. It is one currency. Paul wanted to have gold and silver dollars too. Which would be convertible into physical bullion.

Thank you ABC for posting this, even though Ron Paul didn't get treated fairly from mainstream media or he would have been president. Please continue posting relevant content like this, hard-hitting journalism that favors the people's well-being, as opposed to catering to the highest bidder or just following orders.
Umm there is not enough physical gold or silver to back every US Dollar since the 1960s...
True it really just about pegging it to the value of gold. Like if gold value increases so does the dolor and vis a versa. We could also deflate and then go back on the standard. Good question though

I am now totally convinced that paper and stock investments are less than worthless. I am going to spend the rest of my life investing in precious metals only. I may save in cash temporarily but only to then periodically get bulk coins, plates, et cetera. The only investment that NEVER goes belly up is precious metal. Been that way since literally the beginning of civilization.
Stocks have outperformed gold consistently for the past 30 years.
That's fine, you'll miss out on enormous returns like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Tesla. The entire world doesn't just consist of gold and silver, it consists of many products, goods and services. The problem with gold bugs is they have tunnel vision and believe that world revolves around only gold and silver.

Nice to see all the statists championing the fed and its lackeys on this thread.
If you don't follow Ron Paul's podcast, you should.
LOL, I'll bet ever last idiot that bought silver bullion back then has loooooonnnng since regretted doing so. Right now is actually a decent time to buy silver again, but, it's still just a simple precious metal that provides no dividends, and gives a cost for owning it....
WRONG.
Exactly, invest in a business that actually returns money and creates wealth. Gold doesn't produce anything, it's just a metal. Reminds of the story about a man who burries his gold piece instead of putting it in a bank where it accrues interest. Hold a little bit of physical gold, but don't invest your entire life savings. Even a gold miner would be a better investment. Diversify.
KingJustice98 you can also create a business that sells gold and silver and make videos that exclusively promote them to gullible people. Hmmm, who could that be today (Peter Schiff, Mike Maloney)?
Now that would make bank.
But if we use real money, how will the fed run the global economy through the world’s reserve currency?
