They still don't understand that Ron Paul is not the one making gold real money. Ron Paul is the messenger. Gold is real money. Gold has been real money throughout history. The gold standard is not magic, or hocus pocus. The gold standard is simply a definition ... a standard. 27 grains of gold is $1 by the Coinage Act of 1792 (http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/coinage1792.txt). No trickery, no obfuscation, no shit. Gold is money because it is durable, divisible, desirable, portable, and scarce.

Daily Caller has a story on his comments about the super congress.

Ron Paul: Debt ceiling agreement 'super committe' unconstitutional
3:10 PM 08/04/2011
The federal debt ceiling agreement contains a provision calling for a super committee to decide, and then recommend to Congress, where spending cuts will be made. Congressman Ron Paul believes this is unconstitutional.

The Texas Republican, a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, made that claim on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” Thursday.

Paul told co-host Carl Quintanilla a super committee’s solution to a congressional impasse could be challenged in court because it takes away duties the Constitution spells out for Congress to perform.

“Well, I would challenge it in the courts and say that is not a constitutional function,” Rep. Paul said. “There’s no authority to have a super Congress who takes over for what the House and Senate are supposed to do.”........

So... I wonder if we should expect some sort of hearing over this? I'm guessing he's talking it over with others in congress.

Awesome interview. When people say that Ron Paul wants to return to a gold standard, show them this video. He wants competition.

Awesome on the gold standard, but this has already created flak on his not giving his own position on social security and medicare and how to best patch them for those who paid in while letting the kids opt out.

Better answer to that, here:

Just compare Ron Paul to other candidates when talking about economics and the financial system. Wow. Herman Cain? Oh my.

He said "I'm not for closing the FED" and some clown wrote a blog today saying RP does not want to end the Fed.
