Its refreshing to hear ron paul speak. It should ashame most other politicians. Be hard pressed to really refute what he is saying. Always hard to find a a reasoned argument against what he says. My only beef with the guy is the gold standard. I havent read his books so im not exactly sure of the practical or feasibility in what he thinks would happen. And i dont know enough to know wether we having a standard screws us in a playing field where no one else does or if it creates confidence and incentive for others to have a standard. And if its too little too late since the printed cash to gold cant clearly sync up. And im not sure about progress without being able to just increase the money supply. But the idea of endless progress could be the problem. Might be nice to have little to no gain at slower rates. Might make people happier and live better than chasing the illusive idea of progress. But i'll stya open on the idea until i can definitive decide for myself. But the guy is pretty solid. One of the best principled politicians ive seen. Im hoping his son will follow suit.
