John Anderson interviews Ron Paul and Byron Dale.

This interview raises some very important questions that need to be addressed.

  1. The biggest question for Ron Paul is that, "If we are printing up our own money then why do we need to borrow from anybody?"
  2. How is taxing the people more going to solve our economic problems?
  3. If Ron Paul believes as a nation that we are broke how can we rely on taxation to pay off the debt? 
  4. How we you get out of this mess when you pay off debt it destroys the money supply?  If we paid off just $10 Trillion dollars of this debt we would completely wipe out our money supply and we would still have $47 Trillion dollars of interest bearing debt.  Even if we had $57 Trillion dollars worth of money and used it to pay off the debt which clearly destroys the money supply then what would America use for money and where would it come from?
  5. With our current catastrophic debt why is Ron Paul concerned weather there is any gold or not stored at Fort Knox?  Gold has been de-monetized for 70 plus years and there has not been any connection with gold to money or debt for over 70 years.
  6. If Ron Paul believes that we should go to gold then why doesn't he tell us how much gold it would take to run the economy.
  7. Why does Ron Paul define the value of gold in the very 'paper' dollars he does not like?
  8. How does Paul define wealth?
  9. How does Ron Paul define value?
  10. Must all "true" money be gold?  If so, does that mean that silver could not be money?
  11. If gold were our money and the banks loaned it all into circulation, at interest wouldn't we have to pay it back with interest?  Where would we get the gold to pay the interest?
  12. Gold comes out of the ground.  So does rock, sand and iron.  While we are fixing this economy, wouldn't it make sense to have jobs that weren't limited to producing gold?  If we used infrastructure instead of gold (both wealth) to support our money, wouldn't we solve many problems at once?
  13. If Ron Paul just wants to tax people that are already broke to fund government where does his allegiance lay?
  14. If we can print up our own money why don’t we have the money to pay our bills?
  15. How can we be flat broke if we print up our own money?  Ron Paul said "As long as we can print the dollar we can keep this con game going"??  If we can keep the con game going we must not be flat broke.
  16. What does selling the gold from the central banks have to do Fort Knox?  What is the connection?  One is a private banking corporation and the other is a government owned Fort.
  17. If Ron Paul was on the Gold Commission and paying attention why didn’t he know that they value the gold at $42.222 dollars per ounce because that is the statutory value of gold set by law in the United States?
  18. If Ron Paul wants the gold to backup our money then why would he want the government to sell the gold to investors?
  19. Why does Ron Paul care how much gold there is because today there is zero relationship between gold and money?
  20. If Ron Paul wants to us to use gold for money or have the gold back up our money then why would he think its a good idea to sell it off to investors?
  21. What kind of money are the investors going to use to purchase all this gold?
  22. How can we be printing too much money, when we are not printing enough to satisfy the demand for it? Why would money lose it value when the demand is greater then the supply?  Why would any thing lose it value when then is such a great demand lose for it?  If our money is indeed losing its purchasing power when there is clearly not enough of it to satisfy the demand for it there must be another reason it is losing its value.
  23. When Ron Paul says we can look really wealthy from borrowing more money and we could clearly look prosperous from it.  How can we be printing too much money but on the other hand Ron Paul says we are borrowing to much of someone else's money?  Which one are we doing because both things absolutely cannot be true.
  24. Ron Paul says we are borrowing money from the bankers, who say we have to pay it back or they won't loan us any more.  Why are we in debt at all, if we are printing up too much money?  Shouldn't the government just spend the money it prints and not borrow and pay interest to the bankers to have money to spend? If we are printing up our money why don't we just pay for our stuff when we get it?  Why is there any need to borrow period?
  25. The facts are we are either borrowing someone else's money or we printing up our own.  Both things cannot be true. Ron Paul should decide which one it is?
  26. How can we be the greatest debtors in the world if we are printing up our own money?  Why would a government who can print up it own money need to borrow money from anybody?
  27. If you can purchase anything in the world including oil and gold with our money, why does Ron Paul say that our money doesn't have real value? 
  28. If the people want real value in their currency wouldn't they have exactly what they want?  Can't the people purchase anything they want in the world with this currency?
  29. Ron Paul believes the problem is that we borrowed too much money from the Federal Reserve. He also says that the government has printed up too much money. Which one is true?  Is it the private banking system printing up the money that we use or is it the federal government printing up the money use?  He sure must know that the Federal Reserve Banks are private for profit banks.
  30. Ron Paul is a little confused when he says that the debt was eliminated by 1942 or near that time?  In 1942 the Federal Government debt was 79.2 Billion.
  31. Where is the mandate in the U.S. Constitution stating that we must use gold or silver?  We now have documentation that "coin" meant at that time period of the founding fathers, to coin paper money, coin leather money, coin land, and more.  The constitution says to coin Money but at that time to coin meant create money.  At that time period they used the word coin as a verb and they also talked about coining leather, coining paper money and coining land.  The Federal Constitution in no way says that the federal government was to coin only the metals gold or silver.
  32. Is Ron Paul against having money created as a payment?
