I am allowed. I am a Snicker-con. I don't know what that means, but it sounds good. Will Is there such a thing as a Neolithicon? That would either be a neo-con whose ways are set in stone or a convention of cavemen. Hmmm, that begs another punchline if anybody wants to connect the dots.

I personally think Ron Paul may be a good Doctor but doesn't know snot about economics, especially modern supply side economics. I highly recommend that everyone that lives in the USA should read James Gwartney's text along with Richard L. Stroup's writings.
While I'm at it, Ron Paul's stance on the military is just stupid gone to seed.
Nothing I see that RP proposes has any merit whatsoever.

Neo-con means socially conservative, big government, big spending (but somehow cut taxes), let's keep the great Unwashed Masses under control by criminalizing everything...........Republicans.....
...and you can tell a neo-con by the welt on their forehead from saluting government non-stop or the bald spot on their head by tugging on their forelock so often.......... Differing on only a few points from Democrats..........
You can tell a Democrat by......well, one just knows.... Casey

Ah, yes. To be intelligent enough to reach out beyond the standard Rep/Dem parties. To be so enlightened as to grasp those things we simpletons can't....

Got a feeling the doom and gloom crowd is about to pile on......wonder if any of them have plans for the future beyond pulling out supplies left from the Y2K scare? That is so funny and so true.

If things get really, really bad we'll have to live in log cabins, plant gardens and hunt for meat. Boy would that suck... Big time. Sounds good to me.

All I know is this feels just like the fall of 1975. Similar problems and similar issues. This means around 7 years from now we will be in a full fledged recession and only those people with money will survive and when we come out of it 5 years later only those with money will own everything of value (real estate, businesses, politicians, commerce in general) and we will all be serf's. The rich and wealthy almost got it all the 1980's. They won't make the same mistake twice. So this guys 10 year prediction is pretty close to right. kwg

No, Casey, there are ages of strata you study in geology, neolithic, jurassic, paleozoic....can't remember them all or the order etc. Paleontolgists are looking for bones. We didn't care about the stinkin' bones, except to date the strata.

"The rich and wealthy almost got it all the 1980's." Ring the bell, we have another Paulista for the clinic. What a crock. Did they leave you any? I'm guessing not, huh? Maybe RP will make them give it back.

It's already crashed for many people. It's just that it's beginning to move up the food chain.
Bush's first Secretary of the Treasury resigned immediately upon hearing of his economic plans,....very shortly after Cheney told him, "Deficit spending doesn't matter",....... wrote a book about it about 5 years ago,... "The Price of Loyalty".
What's beginning to become apparent now was predicted long ago by many knowledgable people.

Yeah, those who've been predicting the apocolypse for, uh, what....27 years now since RR was elected with his damn merry band of neocons. And just look at this terrible economy. GDP growth was, what...4.9% last quarter. Twenty something straight quarters of growth. No inflation. Very low unemployment rates. Yeah, old Bush really screwed the pooch.
What we really need is to abolish the federal reserve, disrupt the entire banking system and go on the gold standard. Yeah, that's the ticket. That'll solve this growing economy problem right quick.
The only people more bummed out than you about those neocon fools were probably the politburo in Moscow and the Warsaw pact bosses. The one who remain alive are still grumbling about those damn neocons today.

Or if you say the original BoUS was a functional central bank, look at the period from when the Second BoUS was abolished in the 1830s until the new one was chartered in 1863. One of the worst, most chaotic financial periods in our history. And all on the gold standard. During the Free Banking Era, banks were pulling fractional-reserve shenanigans. And no, I'm not interested in your free market privately issued money or Barakobonds. Opposition to a central bank in a modern economy is pure quackery. Go on...
