Oh, boy.

Things aren't nearly as dire as you think.
Housing market is trending to rise this year. There's a turnaround coming, and with that, the rest of the world will lift.


No. Things are, in fact, much worse then what you want to believe. It is only a matter of time until the Dollar, and all other paper currencies not backed by anything, will fail. You can look back to any time in history and see this. The fact is, that when you base your currency on a perception of value instead of actual value then the currency will continue to lose its value over time until it really isn't worth anything, except for its weight in paper. This is exactly why we need to go back to the gold standard, because gold always has value and that will never change. You can't produce more gold from thin air like you can with our fiat dollar. The government counterfeits every day and that is OK, but if we ever tried to do so it is illegal? Oh, and once the dollar fails it will be immediate with no real forewarning and everyone will be left wondering, "What happened?"....

I do have hope that Ron Paul could change things, but it may already be too late. :/

Ron Paul would turn our country into China. Look up his website. It's all there. He wants to completely deregulate the entire EPA, and dissolve public schooling. Next time you go to China, or shit, just go to LA and take a deep breath, and understand that that is what Ron Paul would do to the entirety of America. He wants us back to industrial America with coal factories, cotton mills, and no kids in school.

He's for giving homeschooling families 7k per year to teach their own kids. How fucked up is that?

 

Oh and by the way, I used to be for Ron Paul. Like lots of other Americans, there is so much we agree with. Unfortunately, there is also way too much we disagree with, and that is why he will never be a contender.

 

Economy is getting better, unemployment is going down, housing market is going up. It'll take a while, but we stopped the nosedive, and our exports are going up again. It's still a rocky road, but we'll make it.
