(Audience member) Can I ask you a question?

- I envision a lot of people losing their jobs

and that the funding put forth by the president

to try to bail out companies will not work

because it doesn't offer a better system or a competitive product.

If we say: "We're gonna bail out General Motors"

if they don't have a project that we can look at and say:

"Yes it is better than Toyota, it will enable us to survive."

But I don't know what they're putting out.

I think they're gonna put out just another rendition of a chevy

I've never seen any product that I feel would be non-competitive

meaning: cheaper, faster, better, lighter

If your products aren't that, you'll sell a few.

And people don't have the purchasing power to buy your car

unless you give the banks money to lend them money.

What Obama is doing, to me, doesn't make sense.

industry is the core of American enterprise

and if you give money to industry, they will hire people.

But if you give money to people, they will purchase things.

And then industry will take care of that.

but don't give it to industry, That's not the answer.

Unless industry presents you with a blueprint of a product

that's competitive. Does that answer your question?

(Audience member) Well I was thinking in terms of the collapse...

Do you see just a collapse of the financial system?

- Or do you see it going on more than that, where we have

basic systems coming down, like the electrical grid, things like that.

How bad of a disaster are you envisioning that it will take?

I envision millions of people with lack of purchasing power

If they cut back, they would have mass riots.

being in the house by 9 o' clock in certain districts.

They don't want them walking around in the streets.

So they'll be imprisoned or put in their house.

Or: "Stay in your house and you come out tomorrow morning at 7, that's OK."

They will regulate the time. It's called fascism.

But fascism won't work for a long period of time.

If there is no purchasing power, insufficient purchasing power

they can't maintain a police force or army.

So fascism, unless you take over all the industries and everything

and then operate the government by big business.

But they don't need it, they don't need to do anything.

They make the laws, you obey them, or you're out.

I see chaos, riots, all kinds of trouble.

because government doesn't offer anything.

Government, meaning: In order for a money system to operate,

you have to tax some people to get the money.

If most people are not working, you can't tax them.

So you have to cut back on medical care, education...

all the other areas that the system can't support.

Chaos means when the government steps in finally, and says:

"9 o' clock is the time you go into your house."

That's what I mean by "Government". There's no real government.

as I understand it. I don't see any change.

He's building a bigger army, sending more munitions out there

in the war zone. We have bases all over the world.

They're not dealing with the problem, in other words.

The problem is: All nations need access to resources.

If you deprive them of that, there's going to be trouble.

if the treaty doesn't serve the interest of that nation.

because it doesn't serve our interest. You understand?

But the signing of the treaty temporarily quells a lot of noise.

He just has a lot of advisers but they're all advisers

within the monetary system, that's your problem.

It's like, in the early days of primitive society

the guys would advise people to get their bow and arrows together there

We don't have an area in Washington called "Problem Solving".
