1) If I had my life savings in a bank that failed, would I lose the savings?
2) Could a company by "too big" to fail?
I'm still learning....

If Ron Paul was President/had been sworn in....
he'd be assassinated by now....
Those are some filthy rich boys
he would put out of work. The entire country of Israel would probably be gunning for him since all the military and financial aid would be cut off.
And could you imagine the screams of ((((Anti-Semite)))) that would be coming from the ADL?
The Rothschild clan would be on the warpath as well.

If Ron Paul had been sworn in as President!
1. The troop pull outs from Iraq, Afghanistan, and the closure of hundreds of foreign American bases would have begun, saving billions of dollars already.
2. Competing currencies would have started to make American money once again a thing of real value.
3. The Fed would be under the control of the U.S. Treasury and Congress.
4. AIG, CITI, Bank of America, Fannie & Freddie Mac, and all the other corrupt financial institutions would be in receivership.
5. Homeland security would be eliminated and local militia's would be re-started.
6. All un-Constitutional alliances with international organizations would be made null and void.
7. The IRS would be dismantled and money earned would stay with the original earners, helping local economies to grow.
8. The Bill of Rights would be strictly followed.
9. Most drugs would be legalized and under a doctors supervision.
10. Thomas Jefferson's vision for America would live on!

9. Drugs
Would the FDA say they were under dr supervision or the patient? Most?
Most of these wouldn't be
Most of these wouldn't be passed sadly. It would depend on how even congress and senate were. Which I doubt the senate would pass the majority of these since they are mislead like the public or either campaigning for institutions for money/connections/etc...

just bask in the glow for a second
I would have to give up being an atheist and believe in miracles
But then everyone would blame Ron Paul for the terrible mess that was created by government over the past many decades.
Better for a freedom loving man to be elected during the depths of economic calamity than at the beginning of the collapse.

1) I doubt it because the logical step would be to slowly reduce the FDIC insurance levels and have people spread their money out eventually hoping for a high reserve level and no need for an FDIC.
2) If hard money or competing currencies were implemented and regulation pruned, there would be alot less super-corporations and alot more medium and small sized because competition would work to level the playing field rather than the gamed, lobbyist owned system we see today bordering on soft fascism.
Decentralizing everything possible would get rid alot of these mass failures in any system and "too big to fail". A monolithic pyramid structure is compatible with our Constitution or the survival of our nation.

2) More insight on this one
2) More insight on this one please.
a) When it giant company fails, and all assets are liquidated and does this recreate the jobs and wealth?
b) How would Ron Paul's economic policies reduce the number of corporate monopolies?
Things Don't Happen Overnight!
Some examples:
I live in the western USA. This area was first settled by Gold miners looking for free money. Gold! Even though it was very hard work.
That eventually brought trains, stores, roads, all types of expansion and associated industries to the west.
As Gold mining eventually became controlled by the government in 1933, miners began slowly to do other types of work, like logging, farming/ranching, in short turning natural resources into sell-able products.
Factories of all types were built. Banks flourished! Super highways were put in.
To answer your question, Ron Paul the economist, would eliminate most government regulations that hinder the small business minded people and as the layoffs and closers of giant companies progressed, thousands of small businesses would spring up, dealing goods and services to each other, without any crippling taxation, and using Constitutional type money that got its value from supply and demand from a FREE market economy.
Free market competition between competing companies would eliminate most monopolies. There already are strict laws in the U.S. preventing absolute monopolies. Ron Paul has already proposed legislation in Congress to abolish the biggest monopoly, the Federal Reserve Banking system, by simply allowing competing currencies and eliminating the "Legal Tender" laws.
Thanks for the questions.
