Apparently he'll have a quick interview at 8:00 p.m. with Campbell Brown, and then dash off to a telephone to call in to "The Young Turks" radio show.

I hope they doesn't bring up those newsletters. I remember them really attacking him for them.
Bashing Obama's economic plan - I'm up for that.

Cenk asks hard hitting questions.

I actually hope he brings up news letters because it would be interesting to hear the whole thing. They've debated those newsletters on his show before.

Ya but Cenk supposedly used to be a republican. I don't think he minds libertarians quite as much as neocons, but I could be wrong.

Cenk will go after the newsletters for sure. Maybe he'll ask about Rand's senate run.

I thought this was one of his best interviews to date, even though it's a pretty minor one.

Very good discussion on the issues, and the interviewer did a great job on challenging him but also maintaining respect.

Paul voted against the repeal of glass-Stegal.

I wish he would have explained that when he was questioned on it.

He was one of the only republicans to vote against it.,

Paul didn't vote on the Gramm-Biley bill

Young Paleocon
03-26-2009, 06:54 PM
Glass-Stegal isn't a valid argument anyway. The argument with that is our economic ills today are due to it being repealed in 99. That argument is assuming we didn't have booms and busts between the 30's and 1999. We had plenty of recessions even when GS was on the books....

Why is he bashing Paul for glass-Stegal when Paul voted against the repeal.

WTF. That was Phil Gram not Ron Paul that did that. Paul was one of the lone persons against it.

Madam Speaker, today we are considering a bill aimed at modernizing the financial services industry through deregulation. It is a worthy goal which I support. However, this bill falls short of that goal. The negative aspects of this bill outweigh the benefits. Many have already argued for the need to update our financial laws. I would just add that I agree on the need for reform but oppose this approach. -Ron Paul



They jsut spent a half hour bashing Ron Paul for Glass-Stegall when he opposed the bill

I just want to ask some questions about Dr. Paul's "100% reserve" claims.

1. If I put my money into a 10-month CD, the bank would be able to lend that money out for 10 months, and they have to make sure the money is back into the back at the end of that period?

2. if I just have money in a savings account and a checking account, the banks aren't allowed to lend any of that, unless they have my permission?

"Regarding the question, “Ok, so the proposal is to give legal status to private “money,” to be 100% backed by gold and/or silver. How exactly is this expected to work?” –> Easy. Just repeal the legal tender laws. The only institution that will be *required* to accept Federal Reserve Notes for settlement of debts is the federal (and perhaps state and local?) government (i.e., you could always pay taxes in Federal Reserve Notes). Anyone else can take ‘em or leave ‘em. Most folks would continue to take ‘em, but they would be instantly subject to open market competition.

Regarding the question, “The problem with all of this, which the Paulites must address, is bank runs. It’s inevitable that banks will close during panics if they use any kind of fractional reserve. Remember, under full gold-backing by private institutions, there is no credible deposit insurance.” –> “Honest” banks that support hard currency would (again) distinguish between time deposits and demand deposits (that’s where we’ve again lost our way). A time deposit (i.e., a CD) pays interest, but CANNOT be withdrawn until it matures — because the money literally isn’t in the vault, it’s out working and earning you interest. A demand deposit (i.e., a checking account) is something that YOU pay for, for the convenience of drawing against it via Web banking, checks, ATMs, or whatever. (You could still write checks, though… we WOULDN’T need to eliminate “the practice of writing paper checks on bank deposits”.)

Your demand deposits would sit in the vault until you needed them, no loans would be written against them. Your time deposits would be put to work following the risk/reward profile YOU choose (or maybe you’d continue to invest in stocks, real estate, or whatever). Complete confidence in demand deposits == No runs on banks. The previously-cited financial instabilities during the “gold standard” eras resulted from fractional reserve banking gone awry, not the currency itself.

In this world, you wouldn’t NEED deposit insurance. But you’d probably look for an independent “Consumer’s Reports” seal of approval on your bank of choice to ensure it had the appropriate audits and internal controls in place."


Basically in a free market there are no rules except for don't screw with natural rights (person and property). So just use your imagination. What would likely happen is that there would be some accounts that are time deposits (where you agree the bank can loan your money out, but you agree not to withdraw your money until a certain time, hence there can be no bank runs) and demand deposits, where they keep your money and don't loan it out at all, but you have to pay them for the privilege.

Ah. I just knew Adam Curry endorsed Ron Paul. I didn't know he helped run the site.

By the way, I wish I could change the thread title more than five minutes after I post the thread. People are going to think Ron Paul's on the show tonight and every night.

Yeah, I didn't get an answer in the other thread, but who the hell are the Young Turks anyway? There was some Lew Rockwell thread a few days ago speaking about some group formed out of the Ottoman Empire or something. Are these the same people? Like do these fools represent that group or something? :confused:

The Young Turks were a group of Westernizing folks in the Ottoman Empire who made a de facto coup against an Islamist sultan and began to modernize and liberalize the state.

The principles espoused by the Young Turk movement are probably what the site embraces.

True...well, at least one of the Armenian genocides. The Armenians were always bullied like the Jews were.

I didn't say they lived up to their mandate. The Young Turks also denied freedom for the Arabs still under the Ottomans.
