It'll have wonderful effects through the system, like McMansions will go unsold and future building will be more modest.

I used to have a graph of the United States debt valued in gold from 1900 to 2017.

When we correct, it's going to be Weimar.

Basically, an ounce of gold will be around 1 billionth of the debt if it repeats, and only for a short period of time, and it's done it 3 times. That means, like $30,000 today. It was $800 in 1980 and the debt was 800 billion. You're going to be able to buy a house for what seems like nothing, but the taxes on it will be tremendous, and food will be terribly expensive. Most everybody will be destitute, and will be selling homes and cars just to eat, but they won't be selling them in terms of dollars. It will be chaos.

Worse, because Weimar was a calculated patriotic move to get out of WW1 debt.

This will be the Globalists dumping their shit on the whole country unplanned.

In 2011, Ramaswamy was the beneficiary of the Soros Fellowship, which was used help cover the costs at Yale for a future law degree.

His connection to anything Soros related raises serious red flags, especially with Ramaswamy never bringing up that connection. ...

Well said, when, not if.

The chickens care coming home to roost. And great will be the fall of this Republic.

He's getting traction. I would put his chances at better than Ron Pauls' in 2008. No one had heard of Ron Paul (who was a sitting congressman) until the first Republican debate. He became a movement. A real populist who created the real tea party before it was taken over by the neocon's.

That's not to say Vivek has any kind of chance. We'll see what happens to his stock if the RNC ever gets a debate put together.

Right now he has my passive support, but I'm not blowing thousands again on a lost cost (see Ron Paul campaign).

VIVIK RAMASWAMY: ‘Most Republicans favor reform. I favor revolution. Any politician who says they’re going to “fix” the deep state is delusional. The only solution is to shut it down. We require a President who knows exactly how to do it on strong legal & authority. I will lay out detailed shutdown plans for the FBI, Department of Education, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.’

Yes, this!

The Republic is already dead. We need to restore it.

Apparently you cannot appeal to reason, morality, or anything. People need to suffer to get off their asses. The MIC has bankrupted this nation in collusion with the banking system.

Yeah. Bee has it nailed.

Just saw an interview of him.

He's unelectable. Too professorial, even worse than Al Gore was.

No it is not dead. There are at least two reasons this Republic still exists. 1. People believe in it. 2. The framework is there. The Republic does need rebuilding but it will never be rebuilt without the Constitution as a framework and it will never be rebuilt if people stop believing in it.

The problem is that less and less people believe in it every day, and more and more people want to tear down the Constitutional framework. So we are headed towards destruction unless these tides can be turned.

Iowa isn't exactly the Rap Capital of the World, but apparently Ramaswamy thinks it is. I hate this kind of mindless pandering from politicians. The more I see, the more Ramaswamy reminds me of Beto O'Rourke.

No, the problem is "there's nothing wrong", that's what you are saying, isn't it?

If you don't recognize a problem, you won't fix it. People are in denial, and have been for my entire adult life.

We have a president that wasn't elected who is selling bribed by having his son refrigerator art and you insist the republic isn't dead. It's dead. Our military knows, our FBI knows, our DOJ knows, the Congress knows, the PUBLIC knows. It's fucking dead but as long as people play fucking pretend and ignore it, and cover their eyes, and ears and scream lalala I can't hear you, it won't be fixed.

Stop denying the reality.

if he’s the nomination i’m out.

So far with everything he has said I like Vivek. He got into politics after having to deal with woke shit running his company. His only challenge will be getting people to look past his name and that his parents are from India.

The democrats aren't going to allow a "person of color" to run, it would destroy the "republicans are racist" narrative.

Vivek said he would strongly consider pardoning Hunter Biden.

WookieMan says

We'd see the worst recession of anyones lifetime outside of someone that was 5 during the great depression. Government is bloated, but this is frankly one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard of. Guess what happens 40% of restaurant close. 50% of those suppliers close. 20% of truck drivers lose their jobs. The chain reaction would be devastating.

You'd rather be a slave the the political class?

WookieMan says

So take 500k federal employees paying say $10k/yr in federal taxes. Erase that.

A wopping $5 billion.

No, we just get people to recognize corruption and criminality, and deal with it.

The problem we face, is our government are the biggest criminals.

https://sashastone.substack.com/p/episode-17-vivek-ramaswamy-and-tucker

Wow, at 34 minutes in, Ramaswamy really starts to knock them out of the park!

I think he really hit on something when he points out that the religion of wokeness/climate/lgbtqwtfbbq is a symptom of deep void in people. They are lost and don't know where to turn, and this is something they can turn to, even if self-contradictory and harmful.

The right answer is to give them an affirmative vision of the future based on family and nation, drawing from the founding principles of the US.

@FortwayeAsFuckJoeBiden One way to look at is like Ramaswamy says in the interview in the comment above.

Those people lost sheep. They desperately need a positive vision of the future.

But you know, I still have not heard even one presidential candidate talk about the harm that the Federal Reserve does and why it should be disbanded.

Ron Paul did.

I stand corrected.

God bless Ron Paul.

Patrick says

God bless Ron Paul.

I think Ron Paul is a genuinely good man. I once thought John McCain was at one point too, also Al Gore and John Kerry. Those people certainly are not.

Be cautious with Vivek Ramaswamy. He might just be a complete piece of Neocon shit. I thought Ilhan Omar couldn't be that bad at one point. I mean, a Muslim, at least she'd be against AIPAC - not really. She's as much of a warmonger as George W. Bush, John Kerry, Barack Obama, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, or Nancy Pelosi.

These people sell out, or they are sellouts to start with.

I don't even trust Ron Paul to be honest. I can see him pulling his punches, because if he actually went full out, he thinks he would be destroyed. He's probably right. Paul even said that if he was allowed to win the RNC nomination, he was pretty confident he'd have been murdered to prevent ascension to the presidency so his run was all for show.

Nobody knows he said that, and I'm not going to find the video where he said it. You have to be willing to die to really educate the public and as I get older, I get more willing.

For those who don't like rap, Vivek also plays classical piano, quite well. He's pretty educated and talented, and Trump's most ardent supporter. They should run together imo.

If you're not immediately suspicious of absolutely everyone running for public office, why not? I think the public should be skeptical of anyone that says they want to hold one of the most powerful positions in the country.

richwicks says

Federal Reserve IS the government.

Federal Reserve is the government of the us and the world in a financial sense.

I only watched a few clips on YouTube and Ramaswamy did well on TV.
He alone defended Trump.
Those other loser assholes up on stage were only slightly less ridiculous than the Fox dickheads.
I suspect that Brett is a flaming undercover fag.
