    I think Ken meant to say that you UNDER estimate the stupidity of the American electorate.
    I am not surprised by, nor would I doubt, anything he said.

      He is practically a member of our family and one of the smartest guys we know.

      Nobody will ever over-estimate your fawning of Ron Paulestine – a lover of NEPOTISM.
      60 Minutes report also revealed that members of Congress are permitted to use leadership PAC money to hire their own family members. As Kroft and Schweizer point out, most corporations have nepotism laws that prevent the hiring of family members. And while congressional rules bar family members from serving on a congressman’s official staff, lawmakers are free to hire family to serve on their campaigns.
      Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) put his daughter, grandson, daughter’s mother-in-law, grandson-in-law, granddaughter, and another relative—six family members in total—on his campaign payroll. The Paul progeny received a combined $304,599.

      This is from 60 Minutes. You like?

        Oct 21, 2013 21:17 PM

        You’re a funny guy if you think I am impressed with 60 Minutes. I wonder if they also pointed out that Ron Paul refused to participate in the very lucrative congressional pension system, and called it immoral. This alone makes up for that $300k chump change many times over.
        ALL of the mainstream media is there ONLY to mislead the masses. Got it, James B. Masses?

          Oct 21, 2013 21:37 PM

          That is what I undertand Matthew. Thanks!

        Youre a funny guy James b.
        Liberty cousin, Liberty or death, ever hear that expression?
        Why would people say that you think?

        Oct 21, 2013 21:35 PM

        Did. not know that.

      Oct 21, 2013 21:30 PM

      I have only had more fun than this than when I am engaged in one other activity!

    Oct 21, 2013 21:04 PM

    JERRY, YOUR KILLING ME WITH YOUR JOKES.

      Silverman….thanks…….plus,,,. Al, has promised me that I would not be cut off,…… or at least not before Frankie……..(just joking frank)…

        Oct 21, 2013 21:22 PM

        Hi Jerry, Franky could be in charge in Washington and they would think it was business as usual, they might even want to raise the debt ceilingf

      Thought it wolu’ndt to give it a shot. I was right.

    Oct 21, 2013 21:34 PM

    Al – why are you surprised that the debt would be increased over the weekend.
    Im sure there was a lot of partying going on Saturday night by our government.
    Dont you remember when the GSA threw an 800k party in Vegas?
    Do you think they actually let up on this?
    Not to mention Michelle and all her white parties for elite college proffessors and hollywood liberals.
    Its party hardy in DC on our dime

    Oct 21, 2013 21:37 PM

    I am so glad they are printing and printing and printing, soon I will have my chance to feed at the trough, TOTUS PORCUS! DT

      Oct 21, 2013 21:09 PM

      Why should The US government pay the same interest rates as the rest of the public, I think The Fed should allow The US government to pay negative rates on it’s debt, I don’t for see any problem with that, it seems totally logical to me. DT

        Really?

    Sen McCain will call this a SURGE;
    Sen McConnell will describe it as business as usual;
    Sen Reid will blame it on the Republicans; and
    Sen Grahm will blame it on Arabs!
    See, it’s really not that hard to figure it out!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Oct 21, 2013 21:51 PM

      Oh yes, and Sec of State Kerry will call it stealing and lying—BUT NOT IN THE CLASSICAL SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Oct 21, 2013 21:28 PM

      No BJ it really is not!

    They were borrowing from other accounts (illegaly) for a few months. There was no more room to borrow. So the ceiling needed to be bumped immediately. When it was, those accounts were replenished. No funds changed hands, only an accounting gimmick.

    Bottom line, they were spending more than they were disclosing and using an accounting gimmick with other govt accounts to cover it. The bump in disclosed debt was simply the realingmnent of accounting balances.

      Gosh, I wish I would have had that inmrofation earlier!

    This is off-topic, but the KE Report weekend comment indicator is flashing a buy signal. There was just 31 comments for the last weekend show. This is nearly 40% fewer than the low we saw for the first weekend in August. GDX bottomed three days after that low and then rallied nearly 50% in the next 7 trading days.

      Oct 21, 2013 21:48 PM

      Take with a grain of salt, by the way.

        Oct 21, 2013 21:57 PM

        Thats great stuff, Matthew – you truly are the “professor”!…:)

        Feb 03, 2014 03:13 PM

        It’s imriapteve that more people make this exact point.

      Matthew…………I AGREE……..this is a new LOW…………….
