    After effect of UCLA rally

    Curriculum should include alternate viewpoints to mainstream economic thought

    By RAMSEY UGARTE
    Published April 8, 2012, 11:25 pm in Opinion ColumnsOpinion

    Presidential candidate Ron Paul spoke to a crowd of more than 5,000 at UCLA on Wednesday, presenting economic views he claimed you won’t often find in the classroom.

    While it is impossible to fully outline economic theories such as Paul’s in one column, students must realize there are valid competing models to our banking systems and the printing of our currency.
    I am no economist, but it concerns me as a student when alternative ideas are ignored, especially in an academic setting.

    I am further baffled that general education requirements at UCLA do not require some schooling in the theory of money, its value, and when or why it is printed.

    By understanding the value of our dollar, or lack thereof, students can be more engaged and effective in how they invest their time and work – differentiating between a financial asset and what may be a meaningless piece of paper.

    Paul’s unique intellectual perspective has gained serious footing. Alternative views such as his and others surely deserve a place in the classroom.

    Specifically, Paul spoke to students about promoting a free market, Austrian economic philosophy as opposed to the Keynesian economic philosophy that has dominated intellectual thought and economic policy since the 1930s.

    Current economic theory taught in our classrooms and textbooks is wrought with the Quantity Theory of Money, which states a change in the money supply will cause an equal change in prices. Our currency is described as fiat, which means our dollar is not convertible to a commodity like gold or silver and thus has no intrinsic value.

    You’ll also read about Keynesian monetary theory, which essentially encourages government influence through a monetary policy in which central banks can effectively respond to economic fluctuation by increasing or decreasing the money supply – very much reflected in the active U.S. policy by President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression and thereafter. Many see this philosophy as stable and successful.

    Much less often, if at all, will you be educated in the Austrian philosophy – a gold standard and the danger of a fiat currency where a central bank like the federal reserve can relentlessly print money untied to any precious metal. Without a standard there is potentially an infinite amount of money that can be printed and thus the threat of hyperinflation.

    Even less often will you hear of the theories of UCLA economics professor Mike Sproul and his real bills doctrine that states there exists no fiat currency as long as money is backed by assets, regardless of its convertibility to a precious metal such as silver or gold.

    Although Paul’s and Sproul’s doctrines differ substantially, both describe a currency backed by precious metals, or in Sproul’s doctrine, assets tied to an unchanging commodity.
    But the gold standard gets a bad rap in textbooks as an archaic theory.

    It seems as things are changing that a different approach to government has gained serious steam – one that may fundamentally change the way economics is taught in our higher education systems.

    “You would have never dreamed of getting an applause for bringing up Austrian economics,” Paul said in an interview after his speech.

    Students have a desire for the truth, and economics students have perhaps only been getting half of the picture so far. If we are truly being educated to address and heal this ailing economy, an honest and far-reaching understanding and history of our dollar and the varying theories behind it would be nice, and probably helpful.

    Constitutionally INELIGIBLE Candidate MITT ROMNEY Fights with Reporter After Being EXPOSED



    Jan 9, 2012

    He is ineligible just like Obama. Romney's father was a Mexican Citizen when Romney born. This means he is NOT a natural born citizen. As Obama will be forced to leave the White House, Romney will have to drop out!

    Now, please pick up the phone and go to Phone from Home!.

    Second, please go to http://www.ronpaul2012.com and donate if you can.

    Finally, please spread this video aggressively! Remember, Romney is for special interest groups and he would be in office illegally just like Obama is.

    Ron Paul campaign statement on Rick Santorum withdrawal

    Angel Clark
    Wilmington Elections 2012 Examiner

    On Tuesday, Rick Santorum suspended his bid for the presidency.

    The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released the following statement concerning Rick Santorum’s decision to end his bid for the Republican nomination for the presidency.

    Below please find brief comments from National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton:

    “Congratulations to Senator Santorum on running such a spirited campaign. Dr. Paul is now the last – and real – conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. We plan to
    continue running hard, secure delegates, and press the fight for limited, constitutional government in Tampa.”
    Santorum took a break from campaigning on Monday after his daughter was hospitalized on Friday and some are saying he suspended his bid because of the negativity around his campaign. Santorum had the second highest number of delegates as recorded by most of the main stream media. There were rumors out there that if Santorum lost in Pennsylvania on April 24, his political career would be over. Many expected Santorum to leave the race before the primary in Pennsylvannia.

    Santorum's departure leaves Romney against Gingrich (who admitted he would vote for Romney) and Ron Paul. This leaves Republicans with a choice.

    Go with Ron Paul, the 'Champion of the Constitution', or go with Romney, who can't beat Obama.

    On Wednesday the topic is The New World Order and
    surveillance.

    George very often says good things about Ron Paul and his name will certainly come up on these 2 shows. If you do not know what station it is on in your area, just go to the link and click on "stations". Many stream live on the internet but most of the nation can hear it on the radio (well over 500 stations carry Coast To Coast AM)

    Ron Paul Wins Precinct 60% To Romney 40%

    Submitted by Steven of Virginia on Tue, 04/10/2012 - 17:31Ron Paul 2012


    This is a repost, but now that this is a two man race, I felt it would be worth taking note of this special win in Virginia.

    I am an active Ron Paul volunteer from Lynchburg, Virginia.

    Something very sweet happened on Super Tuesday that I want everyone to know. Our group of dedicated volunteers celebrated with BIG SMILES because of what happened here in the heart of Virginia.

    Remember Virginia only had Dr. Paul and Mitt Romney on the ballot due to the other guys not submitting the qualifying signatures with the State Election officials. Well Romney won the beauty show 60/ 40%. However in Lynchburg Ron Paul won 51/49% and sweeter still- Lynchburg's newly created voting precinct on the campus of Liberty University voted for Ron Paul 60/40%, just the opposite of the state.

    Here's the sweet irony: Lynchburg Virginia is the home of Carter Glass, the same Carter Glass who as the 6th Congressional District Representative and Democrat who co-authored and introduced the U.S. House Bill in 1913 known as the Glass-Owen Act, aka THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT, which after approval in both houses and President Woodrow Wilson's signature established THE FED.

    Liberty University now owns the Mansion and surrounding land of Carter Glass (Montview), a sublime, poignant and sweet symbol of things to come. In Mr. Glass's own FRONT YARD which is now the campus of "LIBERTY" University, the FED was overwhelmingly rejected!!!

    From SYMBOL to SUBSTANCE WE FIGHT ON!!!

    NOTE: I could not find any images or proofs that a $50,000 Treasury note was ever printed.

    Feel better Newt Gingrich's Utah Filing Fee Check Bounces

    Submitted by namealreadyinuse on Tue, 04/10/2012 - 16:34Ron Paul 2012


    Five Republicans have filed the necessary papers and $500 fee to qualify for the June 26 Utah presidential primary election, but with Rick Santorum dropping out of the race Tuesday, only four will be on the ballot.

    Or, make that possibly three... Newt Gingrich’s check bounced....
