He thinks debt rollover will save us and that debt doomsday is a myth? What a moron. For that to work, people everywhere have to have faith that a paper currency has value! People will not be thinking the same way about treasury notes when they stop investing in them because they realize that every one they buy just pays the one that the buy before them bought first. It's a giant ponzi scheme, or a Madoff scheme. An economy built on a mathematically unsustainable pretense is most definitely doomed to fail.You idiot. How can you believe that? You must have lost your critical thinking faculty. Or perhaps you never had one to begin with? What are you doing on this website, trying to subvert people who are just beginning to use that faculty themselves? Go back to your Obama bedtime stories and save us rational people from your ridiculous nonsense. That blog is ridiculous! He thinks debt rollover will save us and that debt doomsday is a myth?

Ellsworth Toohey's character represented the exact foolishness that you espouse so readily, with such a lack of understanding of what you discuss. The fact that so few politicians agree with Paul should not be reason to mistrust him, unless you think politicians are guided by something other than self-interest.That view shows a complete lack of historical understanding. Ron Paul is not still trying to be president, so the fact that we elected Obama has nothing to do with his current campaign. Debt rollover and tax revenue increases are another way of saying inflation and slavery. If you want a socialist nation, head to North Korea and see how that works out for you, or China, which is a blasphemy of the concept of a Republic. If you think that rolling over our debt will do anything besides destroy the dollar, you have absolutely no understanding of history.Oh, and Ron Paul didn't lose, he dropped out. He realized that he could help change this country for the better more effectively this way than our current fool of a puppet president with all his socialist Keynesian Fabian central bank payrolled advisors will ever be able to achieve.Time for you to get educated my friend. Start with the history of money, a quick study of inflation and deflation at mises.org, and a skimming through of The Creature from Jekyll Island will get you started, and then your realization that you have been believing stupid lies all your life will kick in, and you'll know what to do after that. Good Luck! Hey Ellsworth,

Congratulations on having read The Fountainhead and completely missing the point. Ellsworth Toohey’s character represented the exact foolishness that you espouse so readily, with such a lack of understanding of what you discuss. The fact that so few politicians agree with Paul should not be reason to mistrust him, unless you think politicians are guided by something other than self-interest.

That view shows a complete lack of historical understanding. Ron Paul is not still trying to be president, so the fact that we elected Obama has nothing to do with his current campaign.

If you want a socialist nation, head to North Korea and see how that works out for you, or China, which is a blasphemy of the concept of a Republic.

Oh, and Ron Paul didn’t lose, he dropped out. He realized that he could help change this country for the better more effectively this way than our current fool of a puppet president with all his socialist Keynesian Fabian central bank payrolled advisors will ever be able to achieve.

Time for you to get educated my friend.

I can't think of one contemporary politician, economist, or academic who agrees with him. When advancing the "debt doomsday" myth, he conveniently ignores debt rollover and increasing tax revenues. If more government regulations mean Americans feel safer or happier (perception is reality), then--as History continues to show--most will pay for it. Or they can force greedy corporations to.We elected Obama: Ron Paul lost. Get over it and get educated. Ron Paul is a crank.

The contention that ever increasing economic growth is a rational or realizable mechanism is ludicrous. The refusal to acknowledge the reality of the Peak Oil and Global Warming cataclysms which are approaching at a rate commensurate with the exponential increase in human population is absurd. I find it amusing that scientists and engineers have the wherewithal to create the technological devices and systems which are coveted by the majority of the humans comprising the Earth's developed and developing societies yet large numbers of these same societies balk at believing scientists and engineers have the capability to comprehend the mechanisms of peak oil and global warming; why? Many of the members of the Earth's developed societies have no problem comprehending the concept of "stasis" when it is applied to human physiques (over consumption of food leads to obesity) yet appear incapable of comprehending that the idiotic human over population of the Earth has lead to an obese Earth that is now suffering declining health at an exponentially increasing rate. Our best and brightest economists corrective actions comprise of: increase human population, increase consumption and rape the Earth ever more ruthlessly.

The Soviet Union has not collapsed because of its big government. The Soviet government was ALWAYS extremely huge, because controlling everybody and everything was the very essence of communism. It required huge resources. Still, the Soviet Union was doing well for many decades. The reason for its collapse was growing knowledge of the people and an erosion of commitment on the regime's side. Notice, that till the very end, Soviet Union kept enormous military power, able to destroy any freedom movement (done many times, e.g. in Hungary or in the Czech Republic.) Still, it collapsed virtually without casualties... The greatest enemy of an oppressive regime is public knowledge and organization. There is one thing, I disagree.
