this monetary policy based on fiat money, is also responsible for the violent business cycle which caused the housing bubble

it shocks me that conservatives that rightly distrust the government with most of their private and economic decisions, allow them to run the entire economy and control our money supply, with barely any criticism.  instead the left blames the right and the right blames the left.  and neither side will change a thing.  Ron Paul was the only presidential candidate that even discussed the issue of monetary policy at all.
