adrock3215 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Yeah, his foreign policy is wrong. But you got to admit, he is mostly right in this clip and he's the only one even mentioning the gold standard and pushing Austrian ideas within the political realm. Bernanke has no clue how to respond; he knows the Federal Reserve system is a joke. As a side note, Rick Santelli (the guy shown talking at the end, reporting from the floor of the Chicago Board Of Trade) is an admirer of Rand and frequently mentions her on air. He is one of the best personalities consistently on CNBC. Edited March 1, 2008 by adrock3215 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the best personalities consistently on CNBC.He was just on CNBC saying "Hank Rearden of Atlas Shrugged must be turning in his grave". Not Rand, not Galt, but Rearden: that definitely speaks to familiarity with Rand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake_Ellison Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ron Paul is absolutely right there. But guess what, if I were in his seat, and he was in Bernanke's, boy would that be a youtube video for the ages. Now, if a smart Objectivist were in Bernanke's seat, there's nothing anyone could say to win the argument, no matter who's in a position where he's able to dominate the conversation. That said, Ron Paul made a rational, honest argument, didn't resort to the usual evasive tricks these people use, so good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
