Now no more trolling. Watch the vid or don't reply at all. It will just be spam if you don't.

>doesn't watch video

I'm not sure how this process occurs, but if you'd like to enlighten me... go ahead.


He meant that if you comment without watching the video, you'd be a dick. Not that you would be racist or homophobic.

Now Ron Paul on the other hand....

The question is not, did he predict the housing bubble but what has he done to help the economy recover? As far as I can tell, Ron Paul's economic policies would damage the US economy more than the bubble did.

And Ash is right, if you want reasonable responses, summarize the video, don't just leave it there.


only those who hoped to continue making money off of the housing bubble didnt know it was a bubble and that it would burst. if it was obvious to ME that it was problematical it was obvious to actual experts in these things.

You're not "leaving" anything. All im asking you to do is click a link watch a 3 minute video. If that is such an inconvenience for you, then it just proves how lazy and overly entitled human beings are becoming.

ron paul thought (and thinks) that government-backed agencies that actually saw a decline in their market share during the bubble caused the bubble. not only is this stupid in its own rights, but it definitely cannot account for the exactly contemporaneous commercial real estate bubble.

ron paul is a clock that isn't merely broken, but actively moving at the wrong speed. every so often he is almost close to right, but it only lasts a second.

I did my part; You are not doing yours. My opinion is not relevant, this is about the video and what others think about it. Im looking for feedback to see all possible options here. So far, the feedback is terrible.

Not summarising videos or leaving an opinion proves just how lazy and overly-entitled human beings are becoming.

I think you've been here long enough to know that a one-liner OP with no opinion from the person starting the thread is the fast way to get 1) crap responses and 2) a lock as soon as a Mod wanders by.

Or if you are using a slow mobile connection it may be difficult to view the video.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

That is because Runny Ron is terrible...

It's not hard to predict a housing bubble, if you're not hoping and dreaming about scoring big on the property market, hell I predicted the bubble, I also predicted the collapse of the USSR, back in the day, but I'm not a politician, so nobody pays attention.

Hard part is doing something about it. Or at least offering to do something about it. Runny's policies are terrible, he'd send the US spiraling into an economic pit that it might never recover from.

That's why people are giving you terrible responses.

What does my viewpoint matter? Im looking for alternative viewpoints to test against my own. I already know my opinion. What I don't know is what other people may think about this. Maybe Ron Paul stole someone elses work, maybe he just got lucky. I wont know for sure until someone gives a decent answer so I can see all sides of the issue and form an objective opinion rather than a biased one.

And No, I dont think he is a prophet. I just figured that was the best catch title.

what is paul's solution to bubbles?

get rid of the fed so that we can have constant but smaller bubbles that only destroy the wealth of a portion of the people at a time instead of pretty much everyone that we have in the isolated (but bigger) disasters of today.

Try not to be so clever. As for putting your opinion in the OP, it's kind of a requirement. All you did was slap down a link and ask for thoughts. That's not how things are done here, not properly (actually, they're done that way all the time, which keeps the Mods busy). And seriously, you have been around long enough to know this.
