Ron Paul To Ben Bernanke: "People Lose Trust In The Government Because You Lie To Them About Inflation"

Anytime Ron Paul sits across from Ben Bernanke you know sparks will fly. Sure enough, they did: starting 50 seconds into the clip below, Ron Paul, guns blazing, asks the Chairman if he does his own shopping, if he is aware of what true inflation is, and if he knows that Americans don't trust the government because they are being lied to about inflation. And it only gets better, once Paul starts brandishing a silver coin. The punchline: "The Fed will self-destruct anyway when the money is gone" - amen. And ironically letting the Fed keep on doing what it is doing will achieve that in the fastest possible way. In fact, letting the system cannibalize itself with no further hindrances may be the best option currently available - just go to town.

grandstanding bs. the Fed and other agencies clearly state the data and their methodology. You can argue whether the methodology is correct but all the implied "you lie" crap is just political posturing. Note, i'm not speaking to the video per se, but to statements Paul and others made on this subject.

Ron Paul is the only one to speak the truth. It's time to wake up people. To 1:12 look how many countries are starting to turn away from the doller.
