Ron Paul has been constantly wrong on most stuff relating to the economy. His ideas of what he wants to do to the country will destroy it.

Ron Paul says he wants a smaller government. I suppose he doesnt realize what his actions will do to the country. He says he wants to get rid of many government agencies including the DOE, DHS, IRS, FEMA, DHHS, and the federal reserve.. What is he thinking? These are horrible ideas. The DOE oversees the US energy, inspections, research ect. The DHS keeps us safe. FEMA responds to disasters. The federal reserve is a very important body of the government. Doesnt he realize that by abolishing this he will destroy the country?

The federal reserve is what keeps the US government going. We need a strong independent federal reserve. Studies have shown that the more independent that are the lower the inflation rate is. He keeps calling the Fed wrong or that Bernanke doesnt know what hes doing but thats just plain wrong. He also wants to bring back the gold standard but thats another failure too.

He voted against the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Does he want another Enron scandal ?

He wants to get rid of the income tax and fun the government through tariffs. Thats insane. Tariffs reduce trade and there will not be enough money to fun the government. His idea of a small government does not work in the twenty-first century, maybe in in the 1800's.

He wants to have a national sales tax. There wont be enough money raised to support the government. Maybe if we abolish government to the point that the is almost no it might work, but thats not realistic. Sales taxes are regressive taxes that hurt the middle and lower class and favor the upper class. maybe he doent know that or he is in someones pocket?

He was also against TRAP. TARP was instrumental in saving the US economy and has worked fantastically. Since then the US has made a profit off it and kept the economy together.

QE1 and QE2 have also worked to stimulate the economy. Ben Bernanke can also prove how it has worked and why we needed it. There is proof that it has worked.

It appears that Ron Paul is continually wrong about the economics of the country. Now that the debate has just passed it seems that the Ron Paul fascination is in full swing once again.

Regardless how you feel, Paul is about the only one so far that has brought up the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
He is saying things that WE think, yet other pols are afraid to say.

Damn, you are ALL about the kool-aid...I honestly didn't think people like yourself existed. Really, it is a little mind boggling that someone can be so...just wow. Well, have fun with your licenses, prohibitions, gropings, endless regulations, domestic spying, and prison country...

Gorgi, Paul is a pure constitutionalists. He finds that those organizations are unconstitutional.. Which really they are but I understand in this day and age they are a necessary evil (or are they...).

I will say though on the tariffs issue.. Making it more expensive for companies to manufacture goods and then import them into the states might provide incentive for production within the US.. Especially if their tax rates go down for manufacturing inside the us...

Jobs stimulate economy... Manufacturing stimulates economy.. Industry stimulates economy... If there is nothing left but a pure consumerist society.. we are doomed to fail.

He certainly couldn't do much worse than the government has been doing for awhile. He has different ideas than most of the rest of the politicians which makes look pretty good to me. The government certainly hasn't been doing real great with the economy so...

So.........the bottom line here is that everything Ron Paul would do would ruin our economy?

And..............................how is that different from all the things the other guys are doing, even if you are right?

I think the bottom line here is that people want someone honest, someone who actually cares for the US, and someone who is willing to take the difficult positions despite the political costs. He is that person, no matter how you feel about whether or not his strategy will work.

The tired and true strategy is turning America into a broke, economically ruined police state. And Im supposed to worry about what Paul is going to do?

Ahhhh...Ron Paul must have hit a sore spot last night.

So predictable.

What he wants to do for the country is pretty much the only way out. It won't destroy it but it would be hard as hell for a long time and a lot of people wouldn't like that. Do you see any alternatives? I don't see anyone else in Congress or the White House coming up with any real ideas or solutions. Their stance seems to be the quick fix or let it slide.

I don't mean any disrespect, and you are surely entitled to your own opinion.

From everything that you've said and that I have read about, I thought you were being sarcastic.

I'm not an American citizen, but I still know that the federal reserve is as federal as federal express.

look up the facts on the DOE. Don't go any further than that. Find out what their original mission was. Then find out how close they came to accomplishing that mission. Then if you have time, look at how many people are on the DOE payroll. Or is that where you work?
