Ron Paul just said basically what I was thinking about making a You-Tube video of. People seriously need to hear those words and understand them... if we are to ever improve the economy.

In the ongoing financial crisis or "credit crunch" there has been a "flight to safety", to U.S. Treasury, i.e. government, securities. Banks are reluctant to lend to people who have credit risk; they would rather hold U.S. Treasury, i.e. government, securities.  This behavior under financial chaos reminded me of a piece of this video 4 minutes, 9 seconds in. The video says: "Tragically the people living in such chaos often go to those best able to put an end to it and beg them to take over and restore order. And who is best able to put an end to the chaos? The very people who started it."

This series was fantastic. Thank you so much for posting it.

Ha! 'Bout time, right?  <g>

  I was pushing my grandson in the stroller.  I thought about pulling a "Ted" and posting a picture of him instead.  I may still do that.

(I seriously can't believe I'm a grandmother....)
