The mess our economy is in was not caused by to little regulation.It was caused by the federal reserve bank fixing prices and interest rates.The founders of this country knew central banks would bring ruin to this great country and didn't mind saying so

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)

."If ever again our nation stumbles upon unfunded paper, it shall surely be like death to our body politic. This country will crash." George Washington

History records that the money changers have used
every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible
to maintain their control over governments
by controlling the money and its issuance. James Madison

Jackson got rid of the first central bank.

Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, has this to
say to a delegation of international bankers in 1832:

"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am
convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out."

Even much later some honest elected officals had no good words for the fed

On June 10, 1932, Rep Louis T. McFadden, said in an address to the Congress:

"... The Federal Reserve Banks are the agents of the foreign central banks ... In that dark crew of financial pirates, there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of his pocket ... Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its powers, but the truth is the FED has usurped the government. It controls everything here (in Congress) and controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will ... When the FED was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that a world system was being set up here ... A super-state controlled by international bankers, and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure!"

Sir Josiah Stamp, a former president of the Bank of England, is reputed to have said: "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money."

Jesus began his 3 1/2 year ministry in Jerusalem by driving the corrupt moneychangers from the Temple. He also ended His ministry by attacking the same thieves. It was the only time that the Lord used force during his earthly life.

If americans do not end the fed the fed will end america.

one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.So americans keep electing a democrat or republican.

Wow, Ron Paul sure does seem to have a knack for the extremely obvious.

I wonder what else he has to say.

Ron Paul says that Write-Ins are very apreciated but futile since they are discarded and are therefore useless.

he is endorsing Chuck Baldwin, vote 3rd party.

Ron Paul will be promoted by the people , more and more as time goes by and the fear increases, but the Illuminati and Bilderberg Group will not allow him in. He won't sell out like the others have done. He is against everything they stand for which is control and greed. I just wish it could happen faster if not I plan to be in Yucatan on December 21st, 2012 waiting for the Mayan calendar to end and see what happens next. The ruin Kohonlich might be the spot to enjoy the end and the beginning of whatever.

In the short term, there will be deflation as companies try to entice buyers. But I am sure that by April of 2009 inflation will begin to kick in. Already, food prices that some restaurants lock in for 2009 are 9% higher. A few well-known companies will declare bankruptcy after the Christmas season. April and May 2009 will be very bad.

The bailout is a sad joke and it does seem the government is just trying to buy time till the election.

Not everyone will suffer - some will actually do okay - but I think we are all in for some turmoil ahead. I would not want to be the next President trying to deal with this mess.

It seems ironic that " communist" China is enjoying the fruits of a well managed economy and banking system, while the United States is on verge of not only collapsing but placing at risk Europe thru corruption and systemic fraud at the highest levels of Government and Banking.

I would suggest that you look into China more. It is a society where they have learned that it is absolutely necessary to lie and deceive just to make it, and to be brutal to get ahead. They are growing now, sure. The head honchos figured out that it was in their best interest to be rich. But it will not last long, it is only temporary and cannot last. The people have no freedom or justice. We have some, residuals from our former Constitutional government. They have none. It is a human trait to desire freedom, and theirs is acomin. When their inevitable revolution comes, it will disrupt the Chinese supply of widgets that we have grown to depend on. We will have to make them again. Post WWII we were the manuf for the entire planet. Now, we are the brains; marketing, management, sales, invention, creation. We are taking in 10x as much as we are spending abroad, contrary to the trade-deficit lie.It is brain work, and much of the brains have to be migrated in, as we are not training our own kids. Why? Government! How do we fix it? Public education is already costing us the most of any country, but we need to start shoveling more money to them! More money is the answer, don't mess with the wonderful Communists running our schools!

Ron Paul is far from irrelevant. The man has sparked a revolution. He's made folks wake up from all walks of life. His message is timeless and will not be forgotten. He is the wake up call we all needed. At least those of us who would listen. I am a richer man to have lived during his era. The history books will erase him just as the MSM have done. However, to a group of hard core patriots, he will live forever.

Edit for spelling

I think, IMHO, that the next president will be our last. Either because the One World Government starts up, or because this next president disbands congress, according to law, and makes himself president for life, with completely arbitrary powers. Like now, except no deception needed. I used to think that America was Babylon the Great, and would be nuked into history, but now I see that Babylon is only a city. Maybe Washington, quite possibly Los Angeles.
