For the Ron Paul haters, Can you explain how he predicted this financial crisis all the way back in 2003?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQ3JNcMDWwg&feature...

Regardless of how you feel about is Social policies and so on and all the other smears you toss at him, please tell me how he knew this. (Watch from 1:59 to 3:00 if you don't believe me) Doesn't this make his prediction of the collapse of the dollar a little more troublesome?

Update:

BOBO, I'm glad you said it because I was ready for it. But you shut it down for me. Nice job!

Update 2:

Jimmy G, if "anyone" knew this was going to happen back in 2003, please site who knew this. The people that where saying there is a problem, I guarantee you were not Keynesian ecconomists. I know you can't, so don't try it. Keynesian ecconomics is about to fall.

    Ron Paul is a visionary and revolutionary, exactly what America needed and what the elite fear most.

    He predicted it more generally since the 70s. However, he had a speech in 1999 which was pretty on point, as well.

    He follows Austrian school economics, which predicted it, not the Keynesian economists who drove us off the economic cliff, never having seen it, and now are still leading Obama around by the nose.

    Cause he makes random predictions over and over again. He has to get one right . He Also predicted something similar to a great depression. Which is nothing close to what we are in now. Matter of fact, the economy is projected to bounce back around end of 2009. He could not predict that!

    Anyone with a modicum of economic knowledge knew this was going to happen back in 2003. Unluckily for us Bush not only allowed, but encouraged corporations to rape the average Joe, thanks to massive tax cuts for them.

    When are people gonna learn that as long as Corporations remain greedy cutting their taxes will not help the average American the slightest bit.

    M&R, watch it as the liberal socialists amongst us may tie in the Ron Paul prediction to Ron being a member of a secret society!

    Source(s): Good Christ, what will the lib socialists come up with next???

    the problem in our society is that it votes for what it WANTS to hear, not what is NEEDS to hear.

    FIX THAT and we will be fine.
