Ron Paul says it like it is: There is no “right” to health care. Obama Care will be picked up by a national bankruptcy. The IRS is recruiting new agents to steal more money. Central planning has failed. A much larger economic crisis comes. And every country in the world is technically bankrupt. Ron Paul is America’s leading voice for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets and a return to sound monetary policies.

    Sound advice. I would also advise taking your children with you to the grocery store. Show them the different types of food in the store, e.g., the kind of processed food found in the innder aisles versus the green produce and organic food found in the outer aisles. Explain to your children what kinds of food are good to eat versus what kinds of food are not good to eat. Very important in teaching the next generation of humans.

    Not that im complaining about the standard of living that we all enjoy these days, but if you think about it, the standard of living was really good even in the 50s and 60s other then the medical comunity wish of course is better today. Most of the time the standard of living is going up because we are told that to be happy you need more stuff or bigger better stuff. That cant go on forever.

    I’m not sure if U R doing your kids a favor by reinforcing the “standard of living”. manipulation. Particularly as U R telling them to expect less. Not that I have any suggestions as to how to do things better, in that regard.

    @Helioforge I know your comment to be true …absolutely …thank-you for sharing your astute insight with this huge youtube audience …the businesses that are the driving force here are the ones that call themselves recyclers …ie the companies that have lobbied and obtained municipal contracts to curbside recycle city wide and we as citizen of these communities are compelled to donate highly valuable post consumer commodities and pay the tax dollars required pay for these contracts
    TY again

    @superbob2 Thats a point , 80 hours/week…, that many foreigners(3rd world) should know before coming to the USA. It is expensive to live here and they will be working the hours just to survive. They think that everyone here is rich and live like the people on TV.The foreigners(3rd world) are even more detached about energy constraints. Many of them think about becoming rich. It aint going to happen as peak oil is going to increasingly put the economy into reverse.Reality is not always pleasant

    Industry wants us to use resources once, and recycle it to their inventory for free, to process and sell back, over and over. Keep your leaves, metal, whatever they value, stop cycling matter for corporate benefit, cut off these material supply lines!

    first thanks for sharing your opinion…

    and talking the walk simply adds clarity

    @geraldcaron Cars will cost way more in the future because it takes oil to mine and transport the materials needed to build the car…..

    Then you could explain to the child that because the price of energy is very likely to go up, that it will have a great impact on the cost of those SUV and Mc Mensions. Now the SUV is $40 000 and gas is $4 a gallon. In the future, chances are the gas will be $20 a gallon but the SUV will be $2000. See, it would be wiser to try to focus on the employment of the future since the next generation will have a great lifestyle if the skills they have has a high value.

    @superbob2 Of course Jevon’s paradox is an issue. It basically says that the more efficient a society is with using a resource, the more of that resource ultimately they will use……

    @MrEnergyCzar I agree 100% about efficiency with resources. I for one can not understand when people turn the thermostat up to 80 in the winter instead of putting on winter clothes. I think part of the re-education process is getting people to really look at the way they live and is that cost really worth it. Is it worth having a McMansion if you are never home because you are working 80 hours a weeks to pay for it. Quality vs Quantity argument.

    The truth hurts but a reality check shows us that buisness as usual in Washington is going to collapse our goverment, social fabric, way of life and bring a suffering to the American people never seen before in the short history of our Nation! God help America! Sincerely. James Sasse.

    It’s time for you, me, and every other average Joe out there to stand up and make our voices heard. RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! Get rid of the messiah from Chicago and replace him with a man that has more integrity, dignity, and patriotism than that fool we currently call our president. Ron Paul 2012! The people’s president!

    @17masonry Just wait for the neocon scum, rino republicans to discredit them like they did during the presidential runs. Remember Hannity saying the polls were rigged. Ron was rigth & predicted all the things we are now seeing it will get worse before it gets better. Obama is expediating the collapse of our dollar, look at Greece same problems there.

    Why didn’t we elect Ron Paul? Could someone remind me? I didn’t support him initially, but I have seen the error of my ways. When you think about it, the only thing that has changed from Bush to Obama is more spending, more taxes, and larger deficits. And when you can top Bush in deficits and spending, that’s impressive in a bad way. If we want real change, we’re going to have to elect someone like Ron Paul.

    The state of Hawaii issued a VALID BIRTH CERTIFICATE PROVING that Obama was born in HAWAII. There is ZERO EVIDENCE that he was born outside the United States. This is one of your CHIEF CHRIST-RAPING LIES, racist lying simon!

    Obama has NO SAY WHATEVER in whether documents may leave the state archives building. Hawiian officials, with the FULL BACKING of the state’s REPUBLICAN governor, have VERIFIED the authenticity of the information on that birth certificate.

    Replace (dot) with .

    Read the comprehensive report about Obama’s fake Certification of Live Birth on Fight the Smear site, Obama’s tailor-made COLB issued to him in 2007 by the state of Hawaii which has also issued a Certificate of Hawaiian Birth to a 37 year old China-born man and why Obama refuses to allow his Long Form or Vault COLB to be disclosed.

    Bullshit. Barack Obama was BORN IN HAWAII in 1961. His birth certificate proves this. Case closed, racist lying simon.
