Nov 3, 2009 - I renew my challenge: Tell me a method of holding US dollars that has lost value since 1913. No such method exists because the US dollar has performed as an exceptional store of value since 1913.

Richardgwm Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - I renew my challenge: Tell me a method of holding US dollars that has lost value since 1913. If the dollar has not performed as an exceptional store of value, you should be able to name at least one method of holding dollars that has lost value since 1913. Just one.

EndTheFedRes Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Richardgwm AGAIN. Most goods are not losing value. BUT, the dollar IS losing value. HENCE EVERYTHING IS MORE EXPENSIVE! The dollar is whats losing value, not what your investing your dollars in. (someone will definitely get me on that;investing) I'm sure many lost millions.

Richardgwm Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - So tell me the method. I am standing in 1913 with a pocket full of US dollars. What can I do with those dollars that causes them to lose value by 1913? That is the definition of store of value. That is one of the base functions of money. What do I do with those dollars to cause them to lose value by 2009? I am waiting.

EndTheFedRes Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - You PRINT a whole lot of them!

EndTheFedRes Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Richargwm Seriously. If you could go back in time to 1913 with a "pocket full of dollars" you could do a hell of a lot more with them than if you were standing in front of Starbucks.

Richardgwm Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - I realize you do not understand these issues, but just have some emotional feeling that something is wrong because you have little control over your finances. This is no reason to follow Ron Paul. Ron Paul knows nothing about economics. He is just playing on your insecurities. Do some research. Read some economics textbooks. You will be surprised to discover how the economy really works.

Richardgwm Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - I am still waiting to hear the method of holding US dollars that has lost value since 1913.

EndTheFedRes Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Richardgwm Imagine living in my country for a moment. I have 5 "dollars". I now loan you 2 of them. You pay me back with interest. Where does that money come from? Well...I print up some more. Say 1 TRILLION more dollars. So the lesson is, how much are all those dollars worth now that there is 1 trillion and five "dollars"? vs the initial $5?

EndTheFedRes Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Richardgwm I have been to economy 101, and I just proved you wrong. So who's giving who the lesson here? I did my research and proved you wrong. So what are you trying to tell me?

Richardgwm Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - I have wasted enough time on you. This is the problem with Ron Paul supporters, they are completely disconnected from reality. They think they know something when in reality they are driven by insecurity and emotion. Educate yourself. Ron Paul is a fool who does not know what he is talking about. He has been dead wrong for thirty years, and will still be dead wrong thirty years from now. Educate yourself, and hold your tongue until you know something about the subject you are talking about,

EndTheFedRes Says:

Nov 3, 2009 - Richardgwn How did all this come about? I educated you, remember? There is no shame in being wrong, you just learned something. We should be celebrating not chastising. I understand that the market is hard to understand, I just want to help. Look over my past statements and google them. Take your time Richardgwm.

Nov 4, 2009 - this still makes no sense... we are not comparing systems.. we are trying to identify the best system. Why would I compare the Finnish system with Singapore, we are talking about the restructuring of the US system. And as the guy below says, Scandinavian countries have higher standard of living than the US.

Betty5150 Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - The system, or the health care system? Those countries are not socialist, and have freedom in several areas, which wouldn't make them socialist. We do need a restructure the system. We are have been corporatist for far to long. And I sent a PM to the guy below on the scandinavian thing. I actually meant to type Norway instead of scandinavian countries. I don't want a full singapore health care system. They have the right Idea, but aren't fully there yet.

emouch1 Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - what is this obsession with Singapore health system??? We are not talking about Signapore, but about Scandinavian countries, and they way the offer the best health services in the world for free. Well, not for free, you pay higher taxes, but the service you get is immaculate. Health cannot be a matter of profit, and the system as it is in the US now has linked the health system with corporations that are after profit.

TheAgriPunkChannel Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - Larry King's a moron!

Betty5150 Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - Singapore is just the kind of model I would prefer to Scandinavian model. The reason I compare the two, is because most conservatives just bash scandinavian models, and then use our system to compare to theres. I don't like our system. What about when health insurance costed 15 dollars a year? Before government intervention. Government now controls over 50% of healthcare. The the insurance companies are in bed with the Gov. They'll find a way to make a "profit" with more Gov involvement.

Smartassawhip Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - Ron Paul is a hypocrite.

ConservativeHealth Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - We as conservatives stand against the socialized government controlled vaccine program that currently exists in the United States. We want to privatize this institution. Americans should have the freedom to take responsibility for themselves, stop looking for hand outs, and shop the free market for a best H1N1 vaccine. NO to publicly funded vaccines.

dboff12345 Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - I gotta throw in with "End the Fed". You asked for information, he provided it...now all your are left with are your ad hominem attacks. NTM, there are other reasons to support Ron Paul besides monetary policy...like ending this stupid war, interest in civil liberties, etc. YOU are disconnected from reality if you think the policies of the last 30 years have helped anyone. Have fun being afraid of terrorists for the rest of your life. Bark! Bark! Bark! You Zoich!

Nov 6, 2009 - How did Dr. Frasier Crane's dad get on the Larry King show? No offense, but I prefer to hear opinions from the experts - not a retired cop.

nigeltheukhammer Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - haha "the government has to provide social security" larry says. What a ridiculous statement!, how can he say that without acknowledging the fact that our government run social security system is a 100% total failure!! There is no trust! they raided it! They filled it with I.O.U.'s! Ron Paul is absolutely right on. Moore is right on about the war, but out of his mind if he thinks socialism is the cure to our crony capitalism system, which is also a failure, only the free markets can save us.

SvrchovaneCechy Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Khazarian jew Lawrence Harvey Zeiger (calling himself Larry King) is a notorious marxist. His understanding of the world is very limited and shaped by variety of jewish "isms". His mental limitations along with progressed senility prevent him to challenge his guest Ron Paul with any reasonable question. Even totally brainwashed person has to realize the difference between the two. Watching Zeiger is like watching zombie. Notice him pretending a thinking process. There is none.
