Ron Paul Asks Congress: 'If Debt Is The Problem, Why Would We Want $2.4 Trillion More Of The Same?' (VIDEO)

Video - Ron Paul from the House floor - July 19, 2011

Listen to the first few minutes of this one.

"When a country is indebted to the degree that we’re indebted, the country always defaults. We will default because the debt is unsustainable."

"If we don’t understand this, this default will not be because we don't send out the checks. We will send out the checks. It will be defaulted on because people will get their money back, or they will get their Social Security checks and it won't buy anything."

Because Congress is addicted to debt just as a crackhead is addicted to crack. And both will lie, cheat, steal, and whore themselves to get what they need...

I may not think that Ron Paul is the best candidate for president at this time...or even that he should be in the race. However, I sure would like to see him comfirmed as the head of the FED (Federal Reserve) in a conservative Republican administration. Rep. Paul would either initiate a comprehensive audit aimed at major reforms, or even better, he would propose that it be eliminated completely. But back to his main point: The current debt is very, very bad; $2.4 trillion more debt will be disasterous!
