He predicted all of those things because he knows what he's talking about! I'm sure some of the same people who say things like "Ha! Ron Paul is crazy, getting rid of the EPA?"....."Putting us back on the gold standard? This guy doesn't know anything about economics", all of those people who call parts of his current platform crazy would have been the same people calling his predictions crazy at the time they were made.
His predictions were almost all true, but nobody listened. Why not give him a chance to be president and really make some significant change, before it's too late, and people don't listen again? What could have happened if they listened to his warnings that he gave in 2002? Imagine what potential he has to change things as president in 2012.
I think his insight into economics and foreign policy is astounding. If anyone else was able to predict these things based on what they knew, I have yet to hear of them. This video proves to me that as our President, he would be able to figure out the outcomes of different economic and foreign policies, and would be able to judge what is best for the country as a whole. Not everyone would prosper from his policies, some would lose jobs, but the lives that we would save and the positive relationships that we would build with the world are worth it! The waste he would get rid of within the Government would save us a lot of money, which we then would be able to apply toward our economy and infrastructure.... even many social programs which I still believe (more often than not) victimize people instead of help them get back on their own feet. He is more than qualified. I mean... look at the people we've had for Presidents in the last couple of decades! How were they BETTER qualified than he is, especially knowing what we know now?
