now what?
this is a good response to the idea that the free market caused our collapse
i love how they are so concerned with what is popular with the people. they understand that to get votes, you need to hand out entitlements and not take them away.

By far my favorite line, “There’s no checks and balances whatsoever.”
I love it.
@greggorant - i loved it when she tried say that gold has no real value.
Gold has tremendous value if we were to use it for practical purposes, ie, things requiring conductivity. Other than that, did that dude suggest that we were still bankrupt from Roosevelt’s New Deal? I couldn’t tell what he was trying to say there, but I think he said that.
@OneMoreCuriousMile - i believe he was reffering to the entitlements that we still have (welfare, social security, etc…) that were started in the era of the new deal, and that we cannot realistically afford to fund. another new deal would only add to the list of entitlements that are not properly funded.
as for gold, this man believes in the gold standard. what he should have pointed out, is that our dollar has little to no value at all. we got rid of the gold standard, and now our dollar’s value is whatever we claim it to be. what she was saying about gold, is actually really true about the currency we already have.
