    These videos clearly display that ACORN staff are very dumb. That should put to rest any crazy birther theory of election fraud. One requires solid brains to pull off coordinated election fraud at large scale.

    House Ways and Means Committee member Charles W. Boustany Jr., R-La., on September 11 asked Oversight Subcommittee Chair John Lewis, D-Ga., to open an investigation into allegations the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (“ACORN”) is training individuals in tax evasion methods and determine if the group should remain tax exempt.

    I really admire Dylan Ratigan for his courage and intelligence to try to uncover the truth and inform people of the fraud that has gone on in our financial system. And for investors I think it is very important to understand that the govt has done little if anything to fix the basic structural problems in the economy, of too much debt relative to peoples’ incomes. The govt has tried to prevent the normal business cycle from running its course, in which the recession would clear out the excesses in the economy and lead to a more sustainable recovery.
    They have instead tried to cure a debt problem with more debt, which I believe is very dangerous. Unfortunately though those in power are the same people who mismanaged things and helped cause the financial crisis.
    So in my opinion, one of the few ways for those of us who understand the severity of the problems to protect themselves is to invest in gold related assets, because gold should continue to rise from the Fed’s Keynesian efforts to prevent deflation. I recently read some good articles on these topics at http://www.goldalert.com that I think are useful for investors to have a look at. They discuss in detail the inflationary consequences of all the money printing, as well as the potential impact on the gold, the dollar, and the future of the world economy.
