Let's Talk "GrownUp" re: Gas Prices

Posted in: Muscatine

Mal = Certified wacko!  Looks like you've conceded this one.

   By the way, the free market has and can handle anything besides war.

 

Now that is a broad statement.   Only one exception, war.

How has and can the free market handle:

  Overpopulation?

  Extinction of species?

  Replacing non-renewable resources?

  Starvation?

  Desertification?

  Ebola virus?

  Greenland ice cap melting?

  Over fishing the oceans?

  Educating the children of the poor?

  Providing fire protection to the community?

  Police protection?

  Creating and maintaining a highway system?

  Terrorism?

   Illegal immigration

   Et Al

 

Why would the free market even get involved in most of these much less handle them, even handle them badly?   If there is no profit, there is no incentive to get involved.

I'll admit they've tinkered with some of them but only tinkered.

Private guards for their property.   Toll roads.  

 


Back slowly away from the childproof caps on those meds. 

 


When W was in office and gas prices went up, all the left, including our present pos potus, blamed Bush. Now it seems to be the "speculators" that are causing high gas prices. Simply amazin'!


You have a point.... This is still Bush's fault.


He is STILL more powerful than you even dreamed isn't he?


It's not being powerful when you just walk away from or close your eyes to the problems or exacerbate them.   Any scrawny, fool can do that.


Obviously you think he is powerful enough to cause high gas prices now. Oh wait - I know your word-twisting -you don't really mean that do you?

Sound Money vs. Fiat Money -Bob Chapman on Economics 101

Bob Chapman of The International Forecaster joins us to discuss sound money and fiat money. We discuss the gold standard, why it was dropped by Nixon, and the current Federal Reserve fiat system.

"no fiat (read, gov't decreed legal tender non-redeemable currency) has lasted longer than a human lifespan. In fact, the world record is 40 years."

Gold & Silver Accepted Here

The secret to small businesses' successful hedging against dollar decay lies within easy grasp, it's free, costs little time, and literally has no downside: accept on-and offline gold and silver payments alongside dollars.

Money Or Money Substitutes?

Within all the disastrous disadvantages of the fiat monetary system that now infects this country and the world, there is one positive element and that is the assurance of its collapse. This forthcoming collapse will force this country and the world to look, once more, to the single monetary building block of economic production: gold. Just as fiat currencies lead to economic collapse so too do such collapses lead to a return to gold money. The reason for that is that nothing else can form an economic foundation, no other form of money, no alternative fiat currency can reestablish economic viability once that system has imploded and consumed itself.

FIAT currency, Tyranny and Presidents [Part 1 of 3]

This three part episode explores the role and influence of the world central banks and its unique effect on a democratic society. This episode recognises the many 'devices' that have been used historically to suppress a people, following the revocation of individual liberty and freedom. This episode proposes a new and unprecedented device, hidden deep in the misconception of 'currency' by which individual liberty can be usurped from the people.

This episode also explores the sinister connection behind mass media complicity, banking interests and the foiled presidential attempts to reveal the truth.

It also introduces Ron Paul (Republican Presidential candidate), as a defining character in US/World politics representing an ever-growing portion of people that are slowly becoming aware of the conceits of a FIAT currency system and its connection to a planned/deliberate tyranny.

Included are some key speeches of Dr Ron Paul in one of his debates.
