Ron Paul Warns of Global Economic Collapse

Raw Story

In the House, Ron Paul recently spoke to his fellow congress members about the economic dangers we face. His speech focused more on how we need to change philosophy not accounting methods.
But the main point is the war and how much we are spending on our "empire" around the world. There's no way to start bringing down the deficit and saving the dollar without seriously looking at what we're spending on foreign military adventures.

Want More Wexler?

No Problem.
Here's Congressman Wexler's speech to Congress calling for impeachment hearings.Imagine if more of our government representatives actually gave a shit and asked the real questions like Wex. Apparently that's too much to ask for nowadays.

In case you were wondering, we're fucked.

I mean, just in case. Most of you can go hang out with Congress and enjoy your freedom to watch American Gladiators and Girls Gone Wild. Go ahead. Pat yourself on the back a couple times for being smart enough to be born free. Hoist that flag, shine up that God Bless America bumper sticker, you stupid sack of shit. It's only the fucking Constitution of the United States being pissed on right before your eyes. Oh, YES! Is that Hulk Hogan? Fuckin-a!

Ron Paul Says Federal Reserve 'Robbed' Americans of their Wealth

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke appeared before the Congressional Joint Economic Committee on November 8, but had to face criticism from Republican presidential candidate and Texas congressman Ron Paul.

Paul made accusations the Federal Reserve was stealing people’s money.

“There is a dollar crisis out there and people’s money is being stolen,” Paul said. “People who have saved, they’re being robbed. I mean, if you have a devaluation of the dollar at 10 percent, people have been robbed of 10 percent.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke attempted to dispel the notion people were being “robbed” of their money by explaining the relativity of the dollar in a local economy.

“If somebody has their wealth in dollars and they’re going to buy consumer goods in dollars, then as a typical American … then the decline in the dollar – the only effect it has on their buying power is that it makes imported goods more expensive,” Bernanke replied.

Looks Like Impeachment Is On The Table

Ok. If you can stand to watch this 27 minute long video (which you should), you won't be disappointed. Dennis Kucinich throws down in Congress by introducing a motion to impeach Vice President Richard Cheney.

It takes 27 minutes....but...if you listen closely you can hear the sound of a politician's balls slowing growing with each bulletpoint. I have to hand it to Kucinich for this one. He is the ONLY member of Congress who is able to call this administration out when it comes to the actual consequences of their Constitutional violations.

Anyone voting in the democratic primary that truly wants accountability from this vile administration and an end to the war should vote for this man. If you like another candidate then force them to get on board in some way or another with Congressman Kucinich and hold them to that. You are the ones that are supposed to have the fucking power, so use it. Way to go Dennis. You'd better ice those things down for awhile.
