Financial Fallacies   Location: Unknown  By Ron Paul  The recent
market volatility brings my mind back to the time after
September 11, 2001, and to a time earlier, around the bursting
of the dotcom bubble which came to a head around mid-March of
2000. Everyone, from travel agent to janitor, wants to know what
the market closed at. Was the Dow up 500 or down 500? How much
money was lost today? Which companies are on the rebound?  Times
like these are difficult for ordinary people. There's no doubt
about that, but the reason the hardworking, down-to-earth
American is in this position isn't because of some "fat cat" CEO
or some "greedy" Wall Street trader. The fault for our current
mess lies squarely at the feet of the government, and more
specifically the Federal Reserve. Mr. Paul has gone into
tremendous detail about the benefits of sound money and
eliminating the Federal Reserve. I won't go into much more
detail, if you want to read about that topic
