Am I The Last Person on Earth to See This Video? Keynes v. Hayek The Rap War

This one of the best videos I have seen in a while, even though I seem to be the last person to see it. My favorite parts: Keynes' Book as the Bible in the hotel room and the bartenders named Tim & Ben. Hayek's argument is so superior to Keynes...I don't see how anyone could support Keynesian economics after they've been proven so WRONG.

I Love The Judge! Freedom Watch At Its Finest...

Great show from Judge Andrew Napolitano and the Freedom Watch crew last night. Ron Paul, Jim Rogers, FED rap videos... Who could ask for more!!! Please disregard the fact that this appears on Fox News. Even a broken clock is right twice a day...

Ben Bernanke-Every Breath You Take

It's videos like this that make me love my generation. This is from students at Columbia Business School. I believe they made it around the time Ben Bernanke became FED Chairman...so circa 2006. It's great in a variety of ways...it includes a Police song parody, it intelligently makes fun of the FED & Ben Bernanke, and they obviously knew things were getting bad way before the rest of the world.

Excuse You, Megan McArdle


"Republicans stashed him (Ron Paul) in this job because they don't want him making more important decisions. He cares passionately about monetary policy, which most Republicans don't care about. But when you look at his speeches, he doesn't understand anything about monetary policy. He might actually understand it less than the average member of Congress. My personal opinion is that he wastes all of his time on the House Financial Services Committee ranting crazily."

Megan McArdle, libertarian blogger and economics editor of the Atlantic

This quote appeared in a recent Slate.com article about Congressman Ron Paul. The "libertarian" source for their story said the above quote.

There is no possible way this woman is a libertarian...or, she has no eyes or ears. I take issue with her absolute disrespect. Watch this video from CNBC today and tell me this man doesn't know about monetary policy. I challenge you to find one other person in Congress that could talk in this much depth about monetary issues. Also, you may want to take a look at a post I wrote a few days ago The Great Recession Was Not a Surprise. My personal opinion is that you, Ms. McArdle, waste your time ranting crazily about someone you apparently know nothing about.

We've Come Along Way, Baby...

A Sunday New York Times piece called Rep. Ron Paul, G.O.P. Loner, Comes In From Cold highlighted the progress the Ron Paul movement has made in this country over the past 3 years. From being largely ignored by the media in his last presidential run to Tea Party Godfather and new Chairman of the House Subcomittee on Domestic Monetary Policy...Dr. Paul and his Campaign for Liberty have come a long way. It feels good to know the hard work is paying off. I've only been working for liberty for 3 years. Dr. Paul has been at it for nearly 40 years. His commitment to the Constitution is inspiring.

Barack Obama & George W. Bush Discuss the FED

This is my first attempt at making an Xtranormal video. It's pretty fun creating your own cartoons with robot voices. In this video, President Barack Obama & former President George W. Bush come to the conclusion that maybe the FED isn't such a good idea. All feedback is welcome! (Just don't be too harsh)

The Arrogance of Ben Bernanke

Forget President Obama, the most powerful man in the free world is FED Chairman Ben Bernanke. And, if you watched his interview tonight on 60 Minutes (which of course, you didn't because you're not over the age of 65), it's apparent that he knows how powerful he is...and he wants you to know just how smart he is. He's going to make all of your troubles go away. He knows EXACTLY how to control this economic downturn. Yeah, his record so far makes me have complete faith in his decision making skills.

Question from CBS' Scott Pelley: "You have what degree of confidence in your ability to control this?"


Answer from Ben Bernanke: "100 percent."
