Where is Ron Paul?

Filed under: Society — bblackmoor @ 18:07

It is interesting to look back over interviews given by Ron Paul and people like Peter Schiff (former economic advisor to Ron Paul) in the past couple of years to see how utterly oblivious the US government has been. There have been voices of reason: Dr. Paul, Schiff, and others. They have been ignored. They are still being ignored. And the idiots in Congress just don’t get it. The house is on fire, and rather than put out the fire, they rush to build more rooms, as if this will keep the fire under control.

When interest rates are artificially low, below market rates and insidious malinvestment and excessive indebtedness inevitably brings [sic] about the economic downturns that everyone dreads.
(Ron Paul from committee floor, House Financial Services Committee, 2007-02-17)

And the idiots behind this mess blame the market for it.

Where is Ron Paul when we need him?
