we are doing what osama bin laden wanted us to do, the private sector should spend money not the government, we have interventionism, corporatism, overregulation, overtaxation and a financial system based on a fiat dollar, we lost our way

  1. Great interview. First I thought it was the same interview that MSNBC did the same day, but this one is from CNN money.

  2. I think you should add some dissenting voices. e.g. roubini is interesting to listen to, even if he does support the bailouts.

  3. IMO, the mainstream media is the "dissenting opinion." We don't need to add them here, unless they are criticizing Ron Paul directly.

    is this blog about ron paul? so why is marc faber in the lineup?

    I thought it was about financial advisors telling some facts instead of those permabull clowns you see on the regular financial shows.

    you can't dismiss every opinion that's not exactly ron paul's. for example, there are quite a lot of austrian economics who are in the deflation camp right now. and they have some pretty good arguments to back it up.

    roubini is an interesting voice. I'm not asking to put up paul krugman.

  5. I should have been more clear. IMO, those who support bailouts are not Austrian economists, or Financial advisors who advise in that spirit. Roubini strikes me as somebody who would obscure the nature of this website by not being a true Austrian in that he is proposing a bailout. I wouldn't mind seeing him posted here when he directly critiques Ron Paul, or other Austrian school thinkers. But I wouldn't want to see him posted here as a regular contributor for the above stated reason.

    But you are right that this isn't a specifically Ron Paul site, something that my previous post could have been misinterpreted as implying. In that sense, I stand corrected.

    all the best,

  6. Another thought. Perhaps this site never was intended to be specifically "Austrian." But I sure like the general coherence of thought here, not that I want to see a false "orthodoxy."

    It would be great to hear from the people or person who set this site up. What was the original purpose etc.?

    all the best,
    JE Dorner
