Logic and reason in economics and politics, goog god Dr. Paul; do you even want to get elected?
Best of circumstances the rest of paul's peers (and I use that loosely) are smply too dumb to get this. Worst case they'll just ignore him and continue robbing the public blind.
As good as it always is to hear the good doctor speak it remains an exercise in futility.
I think people are waking up to the lies and empty promises they usually get from windbag politicians. Logic and reason are hot commodities these days. Don't count him out yet. Money talks, remember. He is at Romney's heels in fundraising so the MSM can't ignore him forever.

I love Ron Paul but i doubt his intellectual speeches will have any affect on the majority of congress because the majority of them are bought out by big companies.
so what companies own obama ?

That is why I recommend getting rid of the so called "Free Trade" agreements and Tax the heck out of imported products. Raise the cost of imports to ABOVE the cost of American made products.
That was what tariffs are all about.

Fine. Let's raise tariffs.
I think we do need a little isolationism to protect U.S. jobs.

The wealthy people are our employers, they create jobs. The more revenue the goverment takes from employers, the less jobs they can create.
The government is the problem not the solution

If he isn't elected POTUS, America is truly lost and I fear for her future. Ron Paul may be the only true American left in congress.

Get rid of entitlement and end all wars, I like that idea. I really hope America wakes up and elect Ron Paul in 2012 but most people, including my friends, are just ignorant or just don't care. It's an uphill battle but hope he prevails...

As others have likely noted, I think the whole concern over 'debt' is nonsense whipped up by those who controll the masses. "We" don't owe #. They owe it, and much of it they owe back to us.
For years institutions like the IMF and World Bank have shackeled citizens of third world countries with det they did not ask for, debt created from wealth plundered by their so called 'leaders'. Look at most of Africa, Haiti, Bermuda, South and Central America, etc. Now this model is finally being played out in the 'first world', with these lower-rung periphery countries like Ireland and Greece, Spain, much of Eastern Europe, etc taking the first hits. But they are preparing us in N. America for similar measures.
These international rule makers are speaking of 'austerity' for the United States as well. They want to change the narrative so that the people believe this debt is 'our' fault, the people. N, no one will take personal blame. It'll always be a neighbor, and immigrant, a political rival who is to blame. But we will blame each other. That is the plan. They want US (you and me and the dude next to you) to blame each other instead of holding THEM accountable.
So when do we hold them accountable for this enormous debt they have created in their own names, for their own projects, enriching themselves in the process?
This 'debt' is not ours. This 'debt' is an illusion meant to justify the dismantling of our social infrastructure, and eventually our servitude.

Wishful thinking but it ain't gonna happen (unfortunately). Too many people reply on government handouts.
I would much rather see a Public Service for Government Benefit program. Send those wanting the handouts off to fight our wars. Time served is benefit-time earned.edit on 25-7-2011 by TXRabbit because: spelign

I completely agree with Ron Paul on not raising the debt limit. Why does the government operate this country so stupidly? If I am broke how is another credit card going to help me? Another credit card just leads to future failure.
If we default so be it. This country needs to live like an average American. We will just have to deal with the consequences.
Another credit card gives you the better chance and relief to focus on paying back debts, without the harassments and threats from the first credit card bank, as long as you are sincere enough to sort out your finances to get out of debts.
Ron Paul and many others here may be rich and had no debts before,
