hey blue.
you seem to know more about global currencies and financial markets than me. thought i had an idea, of markets but seems i was looking more directly at national level with private investments. Still never got down and dirty and explored at the forces driving value on global level. and looks like my preconceptions and assumptions are more misplaced than than i thought possible. more i look its ridiculously over ambiguous and logic and sense doesnt quite fit into it. highly politcial and speculative, but it could be my still limited grasp in a few hours... Definitely gonna take sometime to establish a solid understanding of it and its implications. And what type of incentive scenarios are likely to take place. Like is it better to be financially responsible or find ways to come out ahead on collapses. Milking the cow for all its worth stuff. thank u for giving me some good search terms.
And im curious what u might see as the possible positive and negative aspects of what ron paul is saying here. Ignore that its a libertarian or any other generalized views of him if u can. What he is talking about i cant affirm or deny and im curious your views on what he is talking about. And i also think the positives and negatives can help give me some correlation while busy trying to wrap my head about global finance and learn more on that front.
Body language/tones/choice of words i can say he really believes what he says and qualifies it pretty good. But could be showmanship which i have also seen in other speechs that are more for political posturing and votes. My gut says hes accurate in his knowledge of what hes talking about, but i want to know more. Especially since I cant stand the rep/dem views of debt talk. Its all politics and never really about what its about, just lowest common denominator talking points that people can grasp and talk about like pathetic sport bars team talk. All hyperbole to me and lacks any real quality of discussion. Same as liberal data pint graphs withotu explanation or discussion and csnaps barrage of popular polarizing right leaning viewpoints. Both tpostings have possible merits through discussion and sheddign the bias but at the face value theyre sold theyre equally worthless, jsut sound bites or as u say agitprop. And also since Pauls view is largerly different ( not qualifying it as good/true/right or whatev) but more interesting to check out and evaluate.
So let me know pos/cons of what he is advocating from your view

- yup defense cut is the answer
cut 50% of all 32 defense programs. problem solved NASA cut was a bad idea74LEO - i understand nasa isnt a service that deserves spending. but i have to admit i like nasa.********
- its inspiring, research base and growth to help better science possibly society, a good evil in my book********
- defense has to be cut to a level. a level where it still has technological growth for defense but not creating friggen wars for political gain********
- wars for political gains or interests of special interests

I really do hope that the Republicans fail to get their one sided and uncompromising plan to raise the debt ceiling approved by their own party approved. I will then look forward to seeing America default on it's international debt. This will cause the God Almighty American economy to collapse, thus financially equalizing the playing field for everyone around the world.

you can't help but look at this whole thing and think holy shit this whole capitalism and free market idea turned out to be such a bad way of running things.
I mean, it's a shit kind of way to prove to everyone that your system is the one everyone should follow when you are collapsing worse than any other nation on earth.

Obama on the outside looking in at Capitol Hill debt debate
http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…In leaving talks with Mr. Obama last week, Mr. Boehner said he felt the president was no longer an acceptable partner, and on several occasions described negotiating with him as being like “dealing with Jell-O” because the speaker felt he could never pin the president down on a position.
“The White House moved the goalposts,” the Ohio Republican told reporters. “There was an agreement, until the president demanded $400 billion more, which was going to be nothing more than a tax increase on the American people.”

So the conservative media, after months of saying the ceiling should not be raised and default was no big deal....are all in a panic over it now that the Tea Party won't budge.
When in reality they created this crisis themselves by spreading economic ignorance and extremism.
