Wow...just wow!
Paul Krugman is an absolute idiot. Almost everything he said was a lie or an untruth. Try and use gold or silver to buy something you crook and see what happens. Why are those on the Left pro-choice on nothing but abortion???
This guy is the Left's go to economic man??? LMFAO
If Rand does not win the Republican nomination, he should buck the controlled two party system and run as an Independent for President in 2016 and give Americans a real option to vote for.
We are all born libertarians then something goes really wrong. Despite this truth, most people are still libertarians yet not know it.
I know a lot of you would like to see Bob Murphy debate Paul Krugman, but I'd much rather see Jim Grant debate Krugman.

I didn't read through the entire thread, so sorry if this is a repeat.
This story is now on Drudge!!!!
About time Matt threw us a bone.....
"You can prevent crimes by becoming a Police State. So if you advocate the Police State............the crime then will be against the American People and against Our Freedoms. And we will throw out so much of what Our Revolution was fought for." - Ron Paul, Nov. 22, 2011
You like Ben Swann? Let Raycom Media know!
For the newbies: Ron Paul floated Jim Grant's name as someone he'd consider for Treasury Sec.
bump for video and transcript.
"Integrity means having to say things that people don't want to hear & especially to say things that the regime doesn't want to hear.” -Ron Paul
"Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it." -Edward Snowden
Well, when you have the financial obligations through entitlments that we have, printing and inflation does get us out of the mess for awhile.....which is why they want to use this method. It prolongs the battle, but then when these jokers are out the can blame whomever picks up the hot potato later.
To me this is why the want Romney as the GOP ticket. The repb's know they're going to loose and can blame the Dems if the $hit hits the fan in the next 4 years.
Dr. Paul spanked the prof. I can imagine what he would do to Obama.
I'm not sure many people understood what Dr Paul was saying in this segment. Krugman should have understood it, but he didn't seem to, or maybe he was playing dumb.

Dr Paul wants to make it so you don't have to pay capital gains taxes on gold sales. Actually it's even worse than that as you have to pay a federal collectibles tax of 28% on gold "profits", but the capital gains tax is currently only 15%.“I want to legalize competition. There’s legal competition on currencies around the world, so why can’t we allow ourselves here the legal competition over gold or silver standard? Why is the Fed so frightened of this? If I’m wrong, who cares? If I’m right — if you want the paper money and I’m wrong, it doesn’t hurt anybody. Just allow me to legalize the currency, get rid of the monopoly, take the taxes off gold and silver and get rid of the sales tax and capital gains tax — don’t hide behind a monopoly. People today if they use gold and silver, you can go to jail.
Currently if you want to store your money in gold to preserve purchasing power, then when you finally want to spend the money the gold represents, you have to pay tax on the "gain", even if it's only an inflationary, and therefore not a real gain.
Daniel Amerman probably explains it better:

the good thing about Krugman is he makes me feel smarter
2016 gop est business as usual, rules do not apply.
with the depth of knowledge that Dr.Paul has about these issues, i think he could debate shills like Krugman while sleeping !

Ron delivered an ass kicking to that Fed shill on CNBC Squawk Box the other morning so Krugman got trotted out to do damage control. Krugman didn't do so well. Bloomberg isn't watched by rank-and-file voters so those watching generally knew who won. Whether they're willing to give up their piece of the pie is a different story...

"Let it not be said that we did nothing."-Ron Paul
"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
Not sure Carol would appreciate that.with the depth of knowledge that Dr.Paul has about these issues, i think he could debate shills like Krugman while sleeping !
Krugman starts with a strawman....then it goes downhill from there. All they talked about was going back a thousand years.
