How Right-Wing Libertarians, John Birchers and Conspiracy Freaks Are Trying to Hijack OWS

[stockholmer]

37. welcome back old friend! haven't seen you since DU2 days, was concerned you got lost

Gold and silver have been money and a constant store of wealth for 6000 years. For both poor and rich alike. All fiat currencies regimes die, most before they turn 40 to 50 years old. This time will be no different. The die is already cast, many trillions ago. The main fear I have is the global war to save the petrol-dollar linkage that the US may very well start.

The exodus is already beginning, look at all the bi-lateral non-dollar trade deals for oil, etc that China, India, Russia, Brasil, Iran, soon Japan, etc are entering into. The US is thus forced, thru the Fed, to offer trillions more in EU dollar swaps and other bailouts just to keep the EU on the dollar teat. Have fun as an American paying for those trillions given to the Eurozone. It's all the same group of banksters anyway.

And, in summation, I still never have, nor will I ever, support Ron Paul, as you have claimed oh so many times. I am a left libertarian socialist, but you already know this.


In fact, listen to this mp3 on how to actually counter him with cold, hard facts, so simple that anyone can grasp.

Critique of Ron Paul's Austerity Plan

Look at his proposed budget cuts ($1 trillion in first year):

Paul's bigest issue is being anti-war, anti-empire (an admirable thing). BUT, he only proposes to cut 15% from the baseline Department of Defense budget.

At the same time look at his huge cuts in programmes that are some of the few last lines between the US and an utter collapse and violent civil unrest on a grand scale. (go to the bottum of page 6 on the link above).

Medicaid 47% cut

SCHIP (Low Income Children Health Insurance) 47% cut

Food Stamps (almost 50 million US citizens) 60% cut

WIC 36% cut

Just these 4 programme cuts would be disastrous and amount to the deaths of millions of US citizens in the near and midterm future. Perhaps the goals of paring down government is admirable in certain areas, but you cannot turn around the Titanic in a swimming pool. This is what the immediate imposition of right-wing libertarian scrapping of government in the blink of an eye would be. It would take a decade or much longer of reform to change the entire infrastructure and mindset of the US. It will never happen under the current system, and Paul's proposals are borderline insane in their rush to kill off aid whilst not having anything to replace it.

The true shame is that an anti-war, anti-empire agenda is being solely trumpeted (and will be somewhat discredited due to Paul's inherent flaws) on a large national stage by only one candidate for Republican POTUS, and not the huge majority of Democrats (President Obama, are you listening?).
