« Ron Paul's Plan To Fix The Economy »
(Originally posted last week, but it was quickly buried and not seen by many readers.)
Really, there are no words for an interview this good (TechTicker Clip 6:10). Best one of Dr. Ron Paul I've ever seen.
Description and video rom TechTicker:
Long a proponent of small government and a staunch opponent of the Federal Reserve system, Paul's main point is that increased spending and higher deficits are not the solution to our problems, but their cause.
"You can take care of people, but never with a deficit, never by expanding the spending," the Texas Republican says in this exclusive video interview, taped in the Capitol Hill Rotunda in Washington D.C. "The more we do to interfere with the correction - the longer it lasts."
Had he been elected, Paul said he would be doing "a lot less" than President Obama and blames Keynesian economics - which advocates increased government borrowing and spending during times of duress -- for our nation's current ills.
While admitting a transition to what he views an "ideal society" won't be quick or simple, Paul's economic prescription includes:
- Allowing bankruptcies to occur vs. rewarding failure with bailouts.
- Stop inflation by dismantling the Fed and returning to the gold standard.
- Encourage savings and liquidate debt.
- Deregulate.
- Give tax credits to those who take care of themselves, or the doctors who provide their care.
- Cut government spending, especially on international endeavors. "We spend hundreds of billions of maintaining our empire around the world. Let's bring that money home," he says.
Please help by emailing this video to a few friends. Promoting much greater awareness is the only way we're ever going to stop the heist. Sending just 2 emails can make a tremendous difference. Thank you!

I'm with you all the way, Jess. Where do I sign up?
Been away for a few days, but the site looks great -- lots of interesting developments of late on the anti-bailout front. The anti-Bernanke campaign could be effective, especially if the MSM picks up on it.
Also, while I'm at it, I notice that my comment above lists my email address along with my name. I don't know why that happened, but would you mind terribly if it were taken down?
Many thanks.
