It doesn’t matter if the tomato is $10 or 10 cents if you don’t have a job. Oh wait, you can always buy it with your check from the government. Ironic how all these Libertarians claim to be against big government, but all their policies cause either horrific starvation or huge government.

You’re the one suggesting that the government should control who we trade with.
So it’s okay to make government bigger as long as YOU agree with the reasoning?

All of the persons in this video, except Dr Paul, look kind of weird, too cheery/drunk or tipsy/speedy or something like that. What’s going on?
About immigrants: none of the participants in the video are immigrants, so you have no clue what immigration is all about, the real needs, or talents, or ‘natural’ balancing act required to perform through the adjusting process. Politicians just care about the votes, so maybe the definition of policy needs to be made clear to every one, then you ask immigrants to vote on it.
Many things need to be improved, and the resources are available, but leaders just seem to have the urgency of reasserting themselves, they seem to be isolated from the audience’s agenda, yet are in constant communication with ‘the people’.
I don’t trust people anymore, and that’s very sad, because it’s a natural right, and violated all the time probably by design.
Uffff, good luck!

I may be wrong, but it seems Napolitano was on the Supreme Court before he became a senior analyst for Fox. I think he was the youngest person to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court.

“We should develop a system of financial incentives: Levy an extra tax on the product of offshored labor”
Here’s a novel idea: give a tax break for manufacturers operating in America.
Why must the solution always be “more government invervention” with you people?
“If the result is a trade war, treat it like other wars — fight to win”
There is no winner in a trade war. Both parties lose the ‘gains from trade’.
Andy Grove doesn’t fully understand why it is that people exchange. Both parties of an exchange expect to benefit, or else they wouldn’t make the trade.
No trade = no gains from trade.

Are you arguing that there are no gains from trade? If so, I recommend picking up a book on economics.
Two parties trade because both party expects to benefit. Or else they wouldn’t make the trade.
That benefit is called “the gains from trade”.
Further, the gains from trade allow two countries to enjoy more utility than they could produce on their own. It’s a net gain.

Its funny that the democratic pollester says liberals are for the war effort. Funny how things flip flop when their guy is in charge. None the less, I agree with Ron Paul and Napalotono that we should get out. The Cato rep made some good points too, we could be taking a much more conservative approach to these so called “wars”.
Whats the reason Washington is so deaf??

Sharron Angle reminds me why I like Ron Paul; he says what he means and doesn’t put some politicians smile or rhetoric into his words that he doesn’t use normally. I understand she may be a good candidate but she rubs me the wrong way. SPEAK LIKE A HUMAN BEING!!!! I fear that this realignment going on in conservatism will be infiltrated with neocons under the guises of the tea part and “fighting” big govt.

Hey Judge, when you talk at 23:35 about Rand Paul and Angle being the only ones fighting for senate positions DO NOT forget about Peter Schiff. He, realistically, is one of the few “fighters for liberty” that is not actually spewing currently popular statements about reducing government. I believe in Ron/Rand as fighters for the constitution but I still need to see some truth in action from the rest of these activists.

If Libertarians actually were Conservatives they would be concerned about the destruction of our middle class. Conservatives come primarily from the middle class. The “free trade” policies Ron Paul and the Libertarians are in favor of expose them as the Liberals they actually are.

“all of which have been revealed to be nothing more than code words”
Since when? Evidence please.
“Corporate America and our country’s political elites have combined to put this country’s middle-class working men and women into direct competition with the world’s cheapest labor.”
You are suggesting that we “protect” our market and let the rest of the world dominate the global marketplace? Where would that leave us? Isolated instead of innovative.
“The pursuit of so-called free trade has resulted in the opening of the world’s richest consumer market to foreign competitors without negotiating a reciprocal opening of world markets for U.S. goods and services”
How so?
“our current account deficit now represents 6.5 percent of GDP”
This wouldn’t be so if we had sound money. World-wide inflationary policies cause trade deficits.
“the United States last year suffered negative investment flows”
They also had a negative savings rate. Go figure.
“If Libertarians actually were Conservatives they would be concerned about the destruction of our middle class”
Inflation is destroying the middle class too by re-distributing wealth to the politically well-connected. I don’t hear you complaining about that, though.
You suggest that governments have not done enough, however when you take a closer look at the problems you just posted, the government has had their hands in all of those issues. The government has done too much already.

How can you all be so simple minded as Ron Paul? If there are no jobs here what difference does it make how cheap the prices of TVs become? You can’t buy one because you don’t have a friggen job. Is that so hard to figure out? Millions of jobs shipped to Communist Red China because Ron Paul votes them “Most Favored Nation” trade status and you still don’t get it?

So let me get this straight.
You propose having the government force all American consumers to pay more so that they can subsidize a few of their favored industries.
If that doesn’t work, you would shut down international trade and have us produce everything on our own regardless of how inefficient it may be.
Who gets to choose which industries get favorable treatment? You?
How do you plan to make up for the gains of trade we rely on?
Something tells me you haven’t thought this through.

You would rather promote political slavery in Chinese labor camps than buy your iPod from an American company employing American labor working in a clean factory under decent working condititions? It’s nice the way you euphemize that buy calling those decent American working conditions “less efficient”, when the fact of the matter is there is no more efficient worker than the American worker. If you hate America so much, why don’t you move to China instead of turning this nation into China?

Nice work changing the subject to slave labor.
If you are having trouble distinguishing between international trade and slave labor, then that could be why you cant grasp the concept behind “the gains from trade”.

Changing the topic? You think the Communist Chinese labor force could be more efficient than a well paid, well fed, capitalist motivated American workforce without resorting to slavery? You have very little faith in capitalism for one who is supposed to be such a huge fan. I’m sure Libertarians love the part where the selection criteria for becoming a slave in China is primarily motivated by a person’s ability to think outside the confines of political correctness. Clearly this is a capability Libertarians cannot wait to have, once they’ve turned this great nation into Communist Red China.

“You think the Communist Chinese labor force could be more efficient than a well paid, well fed, capitalist motivated American workforce without resorting to slavery?”
Efficiency doesn’t depend solely on wage. It also depends on productivity. You forget the very reason American workers were able to build a middle class; they were very productive.
High productivity means high wages.
You are so hell-bent on blaming China for our problems at home that you overlook the simple solution to the problem, which is to maintain high levels of worker productivity. That means quality education, not this government-run daycare we call a public school system.
With education comes innovation. Newly innovated American products are typically manufactured inside of America.
Therefore, if you would like to solve the problem instead of randomly placing blame for it, you should be concerned with how our own government is destroying our ability to maintain a middle class.

We both agree that the middle class is disappearing. We differ on what we think are the causes.
The fact is that slave labor is not new. Something else must have changed.
The fact is that our education levels have been slipping. India, among other places, now produces more scientists than we do.
America was once the leader of innovation and technological progress.
Big government is inefficient, and a leech on our economy. Just look at what happened in Greece recently, where over half of the population is either on the government payroll or on a pension. The private sector creates jobs and value, not the government.
The American working class is now competing with slave labor because we aren’t producing a well-educated workforce and we aren’t creating innovative products like we used to.
Sure, if we ended all trade we would cut off the competition from abroad, except we DO gain by trading (or else we wouldn’t make the trade).
Therefore cutting trade relations and sparking trade wars will only harm us further, and will not address the real problem of our disappearing middle class.

Last I checked we have a housing crisis. The “crisis” is that the price of houses is deflating, not inflating. The whole world was shocked by the fact that a nation of unemployed cannot afford expensive houses. Thanks, Libertarians, for sending all our jobs to Communist Red China so our middle class could be destroyed by deflation.

The housing crisis was caused by too much credit, i.e. money creation.
Jobs aren’t going to China. Capital is going to China. Capital flows to where it gains its highest return.

Too much credit caused the price of houses to deflate 10% a year for the last 3 years in the best neighborhoods in town? Right. What a crock. Where did you get that crap, from the globalist news? Here’s a news flash for you, people working at McDonald’s can’t afford $250,000 houses. And another news flash, when capital goes overseas, so do jobs. What the hell do you think they do with that capital, but nice houses with views of the devastation industrialization has wrought on the Chinese countryside?

Houses are subject to the laws of supply and demand just like everything else.
With easy credit available for too long, you get malinvestment when everyone and their mother is suddenly approved for a home mortgage. For example, “flipping” houses became so popular that there is even a few reality tv shows about it. Everybody assumed housing prices were going to keep skyrocketing forever, and as a result, demand for houses was way up. Producing homes to meet the demand seemed like a good idea to businessmen.
When the bubble began to burst and people started defaulting on their mortgage payments, the illusion of demand for homes disappeared. Only now there were twice as many homes on the market, meaning the supply was way up.
The rules of supply and demand say that when supply is high and demand is low, prices fall.
The people at McDonald’s shouldn’t have been approved for a $250 000 house to begin with. You can blame that on government intervention. Greenspan certainly boasted about making homes affordable (up until the crash).
When you artifically set interest rates, the businessman is unable to measure properly the allocation of production over time. The result is that you end up producing things that nobody needs. This is why the government is powerless to stimulate the economy by lowering the interest rate. All that does is create malinvestment that wastes resources which COULD have been used to produce something that adds REAL value to the economy.
In short, government intervention is responsible for the violent turbulence in housing prices.

Yes, IMO, too much credit caused houses to “deflate” (perhaps better to say “disinflate”), in that the too-rapid run up in home prices prior to your three-year period example led to the contraction we’re seeing. Same thing happened in the late 1920′s. Artificial stimulus led to today’s contraction.
I will not try and convince you on inflation being a monetary phenomenon, but will say I find your tone rude. Have a good one.
