The current price of gold is telling us that paper $ is failing. The stock market is manipulated by corporate/government interests, no longer a reliable indicator of economic health. We don’t manufacture anything here anymore…we are a consumer society…Keynesian followers approve, and believe that we can spend or bail out the sinking ship. But all they are doing is paying the Visa card bill with the Master card, and at the peril of human civilization as we know it.

It’s good that Ramsey teaches how to get out of debt, but better to question the system that makes it so easy to get there in the 1st place. Ramsey is a mainstream/Fox news shill working to keep us in a false paradigm. Get out of the Ponzi market and the failing real estate market. Get real $ and food. Remember Joseph and the day that money failed. “The prudent see danger comming…”

Sorry to go on like this but it troubles me to see Gods sheeple being lied to by wolves. False hope is worse than no hope. Our blessed hope is Jesus, and His 2nd coming.

Here is my review if anyone is interested…I sat there at my church trying to jot it all down.

Too much baggage is being thrown on the “Hope” bandwagon . . .

I can hope to win the powerball and our president can hope the country and economy gets better, but hope will not make it happen– luck for me and tough spending cuts for him . . . I don’t have much hope for either.

However, hardwork and perseverance– with those words we have a shot!

I think Dave is refreshing. He brings an honest and very direct message to people, but at the same time laced with a sincere love to truely help people. I also agree that Hope and Faith are the core values we need make it through this crisis. Go Dave! Really glad he used “Stupid” too…wouldn’t be a “Dave” message without the word stupid thrown in there ;-)

Milton Friedman was the economist who has most influenced the economic views of modern conservatives and libertarians. Ronald Reagan was probably the most well-known modern politician who subscribed to Friedman’s theory of the free market. Adam Smith who wrote “Wealth of Nations” is another theorist who is ultimately the person most responsible for the American way of life.

Dave was contrasting two major schools of thought – one that says government is in charge of wealth creation and the other theory that believes that the creativity and diligence of the individual is responsible for wealth creation.
