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. :/

He's for giving homeschooling families 7k per year to teach their own kids. How fucked up is that?
|
You mean reimbursing them for their school costs that they payed for through taxes but do not recieve the benifit? How evil is that.
|
You do not spend 7k a year in taxes for kids to go to school.
And furthermore, kids SHOULD be in school. They should be learning with OTHER kids, interacting with strangers and other people and adjusting to society. school is where kids learn AND grow socially and societally.
Furthermore, your point is invalid because the stipend doesn't extend to private school. I can claim the 7k if I teach them myself, but not if I send them to private school. It is a crazy world when people think they deserve to be paid for teaching their own kids, which I would call complete and utter neglect.
AND further furthermore, he wants to dismantle public schooling completely. So how is your point even relevant when no taxes would even go to public schools that don't exist?
