It is indeed true that the majority of Ron Paul supporters are not economic experts. However, this is also true of those voting for other candidates.

The credentials of such alleged “third rate economists”, at least from articles produced by The Mises Institute, are listed at the following link:

http://www.mises.org/faculty.asp

Clicking on the link to each individual listed describes in some detail their education and accomplishments respectively.

I don’t suppose you’d care to actually discuss any of Ron Paul’s unsound economic principles would you? Unless you’re one of those anti-paul cultists who does nothing but spew one sentence allegations about him all over the internet.

824

Yes, amazing. Thomas Di-Lie-Renzo and a bunch of other bitter nobodies. Holy shit - Grove City College – don’t they give out a free box of steaks for every semester paid? – Pace University, State University College at Buffalo, and the Mises Institute. Who needs those fucking morons at Harvard and Princeton?

You got me. Where do I sign up??

What exactly permits you to categorize economists?

Ok douchebag, let’s talk economics. Tell us what you know about it–until then shut the fuck up.

Some people may be cutting and pasting from the internet, as you say, but many of them because of Ron Paul are motivated to learn something about the Austrian School of Economics and that is not a bad thing. Maybe you should do the same thing and educate yourself as well and then tell us what specifically is “third rate”.

You’re just another forum tool that knows jack-shit about anything, who’s incapable of forming and expressing an opinion–in other words, you don’t contribute any value to these threads.

You are done.

Lifticunt, if I wanted your opinion, I’d run off to lewrockwell.com and read it for myself. So keep those cut-and-pastes coming, big guy.

You apparently teach in Minneapolis? Where?

Maybe, when you declare yourself “teh winner”, you should stop and take a look in the mirror first?

Unfortunately, this board is obviously not the place for serious discussion, given the apparent adolescent behavior present here.

So, basically I am correct. You haven’t stated anything of value yet. Economics, jacky boy! What do you know about it?

It is vroom’s new catchphrase. I don’t understand it either.

Thank you, but I got to your level of understanding using the Samuelson/Nordhaus textbook.

Having read your post on inflation I am not looking forward to further postings covering economics from you.

Not that there will be any.

Just Paul bashing, dismissing ideas you do not even understand.

Okay, so maybe the Paulies are off on their economics. And maybe they are overestimating Pauls chances of winning. And maybe just maybe they act like a bunch of cultists…They still…um…Um I forgot where I was going with all this. But, either way Paul is not winning so why are we wasting our time?[/quote]

Well, it seems like you do care, since you’re spamming and spamming and shitspewing and spamming- can’t you just troll away?

Seriously, you don’t like him, then fuck off. By now, everybody knows what a genius you are and how you pity Ron and his supporters. It’s not like anybody misses you and your incredible insights here in this thread.

His commentary looks accurate.

Yep. It looks to me that folks are wanting to be convinced… and will swallow any economic swill that comes by in support of their guy.

When, in the history of the planet, have we turned back the clock and said that a previous point in history was perfect? Oh, yeah, the economic system of yester-century, that was perfect… let’s put that back in place forever.

They all come with strengths and weaknesses.

Well first of all “we” did that quite often, the myth of the golden age that then fell apart is actually quite common, the bible has one of the more imaginative descriptions.

Then, when it comes to economics, what has been true 2000 years ago is still true today, so we may have a better understanding of it, but the main principles still apply.

Furthermore, a highly regulated society and economy may have its strenghts if you happen to be one of the ruling class, otherwise neither Imperial Rome nor Imperial China where great places to live.

No, economic and cultural stagnation, if not decline, caste systems and the occasional famine and epidemic.

The Eastern Roman Empire, with it relatively unregulated economy and its rock hard currency lasted 1000 years longer than overregulated and inflation ridden Western Rome.

You are right though, great empires never turned back the clock.

They fell.
