thanks for posting that. it was good info and got me a bit angry which is important b/c we all need to stay on top of this stuff and keep our inner fires burning. i just finished reading ron paul's "the revolution: a manifesto" and when i was done, i read it again- some of the best views on monetary policy i've ever encountered... ..and on another note, thanks for your tunes sir. best sing-a-long songs for lonely road trips hands down!!....
 

someone please delete this spammer. ugh...
 

Down with the New World Order!
 

Thanks for bringing this interview to everyone's attention... Some very good points and worth watching the video and/or reading the transcript!!
 

Interesting Ben, ..This is indeed a nation of technocrats, or oligarchy of experts. So many interveiws underestimate the capacity of the public to comprehend the economy or make rational goals for our nations future. The IMF isnt clean either. A good movie to watch about the IMF and its relationship with Jamaica is "Life and Debt" The World Bank is a monopilization in itself. If anything, support micro loans. You can't spend your way out of debt, but you cant let the ecnomy correct itself either. While I beleive in capatlism, we all have to admit that there are flaws within its own structure. Go out and educate yourselves, continue public discourse, and make an influence in politics. Hold our representatives accountable through understandance and constant criticism. Vive la Mucisa Politica! ..Ps: got my fan club stuff in the mail last week, thanks ben
 

i love that you put this up. thanks
 

I've been seeing this coming for years, actually, hasn't it always been this way? I mean, it may be coming to light to the general public FINALLY...but I think our government has been crooked for a really long time. I grew up in the 80's, and felt like big brother was watching even before all of this crap. Don't get me started, I'll start sounding like a conspiracy theorist LOL!
 

I'm putting Ben Folds in charge of me. :)
 

My thought for the day is when will you pay me back or at least send me my welcome pack for joining your website over a year ago. I'm not the only one, if you look on the websites blog pages, it's covered in people complaining that your website was down for most of 2008, and ALOT of people still have not received their 'Welcome packs'. This is a joke. Either pay me back or actually send me my welcome pack. My membership has now run out, and I paid for NOTHING.
Its a pity your fans dont get to hear about this, till they join your website, and read the blogs, THEN realise what a mistake they've made.
 

Too busy spouting political beliefs that running a business. . . I'm shocked.
