 Sen. Mike Lee And Rep. Kevin Brady Attempt To Bring Back The Gold StandardPosted by GumboPot  on 5/9 at 9:21 pmquote:  Of course it drew fire from the liberal wing of congress...they don't want the spigot of endless money to enable their endless spending to be closed shut. quote: quote: Link to article. The bill. Reply • Back to Top |
| Is there any reason I shouldn't like Mike Lee? Don't know much about him, but every time his name comes up I find myself liking this guy. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Same here. I seem to recall him and Rand aligning on many issues. Reply • Back to Top |
| After reading about him... The good: The youngest senator who is a constitutional lawyer, eagle scout, and anti-patriot act conservative. The bad: "Ground Zero mosque is a poke in the eye to victims." I do not support gay marriage; nor gays in military. It appears the mormon is strong in this one. Reply • Back to Top |

Not to hijack this thread but what's so wrong with this: quote: It absolutely is. Couldn't they build it at least a couple of miles away from where Islamic Fundamentalists slaughtered 3,000 innocent people? Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Yep, sounds like the common sense is strong with this one. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It was 2.5 blocks away. If that's too close, you're being too sensitive. Reply • Back to Top |
| It's block away from Ground Zero. The building includes a mosque, fitness center, pool, classrooms, kitchens, a theater for lecturers and performers. I believe in the whole "religious freedom" thing that you apparently abhor. These people are in no way connected to the terrorists of 9/11. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It should be 2.5 miles away. I still think that's too close. I will admit it's pretty ballsy of them to do that, but I don't think that they should do it. Just my opinion. Agree to disagree. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Oh wonderful...that's really eye opening. quote: Yes, because after one "post" you know me. Great observation. I am for religious freedom too...but I think there should be an exception in this case. Especially given the circumstances. Again, agree to disagree. quote: They are probably great people. But they should have more sensitivity around the worst event on American soil. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: If you peruse the bill you will find that gold is only one metric that the Fed will be charged with in it's evaluation of the dollar. The bill also stikes the Feds current mandate of "maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long term intrest rates". The new mandate is "long term price stability". I interpret that to mean, all things being equal, a bottle of coke bought today for $1 will cost $1 fifty years from now. It also means that the federal government will have a difficult time of taxing us though inflation. Reply • Back to Top |
| Agree to disagree. I think my overall point is not that the city should stop it but that they should have the respect to build elsewhere. That is my point. I'm not debating this any further. Reply • Back to Top |
| The 911 families cared, which is why I cared. Reply • Back to Top |
| I think some in this thread need to read what I've written. No where did I say that the city should stop them from building it. I just think they should move it (on their own) somewhere else. Obviously that's not going to happen, so whatever. Reply • Back to Top |
| If you don't build churches where Christians have murdered people you'd be watching mass on the internet as it streams from Antarctica. This post was edited on 5/9 at 9:54 pm Reply • Back to Top |
quote:There were no muslim Americans killed on 9/11? There were no Americans who believe in religious freedom killed on 9/11? Every person who died on 9/11 has a family that believes all mosques are linked to terrorists? Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
