The federal reserve didn't exist before 1913. "The country" would be fine. The government, however, would shrink considerably.

And Ron Paul has written books about how to "End the Fed". Feel free to read them. Much more info and research than I can provide.

This guy also supports the bailouts and the principle of the Federal Reserve.

Here's an article where he calls for (partially) nationalizing banks, and denounces a position of "Free market purists":

Thanks for the link. I liked what he wrote. What he does not point out is that if the Fed were issuiing stock, then they would be public and open to an audit. Not a bad thing.

Yep, you disagree with his views, so I guess I was right in the beginning. You're a racist.

I find it really funny to see the libs squirm and call people "stupid" when they disagree with them. I disagree with BO, but I don't think he's stupid. I just think he is manipulated and misguided. Maybe the drugs he took as a youth messed him up, but even so, I don't call him stupid.

Hey, wait!!!!!!

The only one to use "stupid" was Herman Cain, about questions why he doesn't support a Federal Reserve audit.

Oh wait, he said "stupid people are ruining america".

Thanks for the link. What he said in that video is quite different than simply calling someone stupid because he doesn't agree with them. In the video were pointed out clearly STUPID things that people have said. Quite different.

The fact that Mr. Cain was an honered geust on the Glenn Beck show, should scare the hell out of a lot of people.

I certainly hopes he never has the opportunity to be President of the United States.

The wheels of government turn very slowly, and the public is used to that. Ron Paul wants to dump sudden wholesale changes on the masses, and turn a lot of big programs upside down. Needless to say that prospect makes a lot of people nervous. I like Ron Paul but he just will not grab the momentum he needs to pull it off. Plus he gets all squeaky and high pitched when he's excited or frustrated. Not good. Cain's ideas are different but not too over the top. Many folks relate to what he's saying, evidenced by the latest straw polls.

You caught me. The stupid part was in another thread and I let the threads run together. When I find it I'll copy and paste it here.

Beck did indeed do some shock jocking, but he also talked common sense on many issues. Many of his guests talked common sense as well, including Herman.

As far as him being the POTUS, I haven't seen too many folks that wouldn't be better than what we've got. Donald Duck comes to mind.

A Cain presidency would probably throw us into a depression of the sort we've never seen, but it would be interesting to see two black men compete for the presidency. That would make some racist heads explode.

Let me see.... Someone coming in and freeing American business from the strangle hold of the current administration throwing us into recession? The logic of that is beyond the comprehension of someone who understands how business works.

For one thing, the United States is not a business. More important, Cain's comments during the campaign seem to show that he has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to public policy. One might think that such a successful businessman would have a better handle on such things, but he has shown otherwise.
