Despite those warnings, Woodrow Wilson signed the
1913 Federal Reserve Act. A few years later he wrote:


Yes, so it was so convenient for him to have written "unwittingly"! One word to unhook what he had done to the world, he must be the happiest man among all humans throughout the history of the planet. That is such a magical word used by a magical man in wonderfully magical way!

Even if Ron Paul would have been elected, he will be ruined one way or the other. No chance, if any, for him to save anything. The intoxication is beyond credit or fiat money for so long that it is cultural or maybe even genetic.

BTW, I just caught a Ron Paul ad on Bubblevision (CNBC), first time I've seen a TV ad for him. It was half over before it registered and diverted my attention from the computer, finally realizing what it was. I imagine it will be available on Youtube shortly.

While I support Ron Paul so does Scott Burns in the Dallas Morning News:

Unfortunately IMO the US is going to embrace even more socialism and any candidate against that aim will not stand a chance. Best option is to get money out of the US before capital controls are imposed.

Ironic how China and Russia learned from socialism and changed to embrace capitalism as the engine for state wealth while limiting social program growth. The US,western europe and other social democracies will reach the same endpoint as Russia and China did[bankruptcy]. It just takes longer.

All of this is rather very clear if you read Atlas Shrugged.
