PAUL: One year to go – Washington Times

Via PAUL: One year to go – Washington Times (and twitterer @tomjdalton): I firmly believe the American people are serious about cutting spending and fixing our debt crisis now. Those struggling to make ends meet and provide for their families while also trying to save for the future know we must change course immediately. I’m not running for president merely to trim a little here and there from our bloated federal budget. Instead, I have offered the boldest, most specific and […]

Sometimes, a US presidential candidate inspires: “End the Fed”

There is no greater threat to the security and prosperity of the United States today than the out-of-control, secretive Federal Reserve. Imagine that parents, overwhelmed by debt and months behind on their bills, sent their spendthrift teenagers out each weekend for a night on the town with credit cards and blank checks. Would anyone be surprised if this family never got their finances under control? via End the Fed | Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee. As I have said over and […]

Is it teatime?

Tuesday will see the USA hold midterm elections. According to The Telegraph: Tea Party candidates are poised to storm Washington in the midterm elections, when the conservative movement should win enough seats to form a powerful minority able to push its political agenda. The key elements of the Tea Party programme are, we are told, balanced budgets, smaller government and free markets. According to one US citizen I spoke to over the weekend, a typical Tea Party meeting comprises ordinary […]

The Revolution: Ron Paul vs Alan Greenspan

Post Image

Ron Paul’s manifesto, The Revolution, is a remarkable read, not least for his account of Alan Greenspan: Few Americans during his tenure knew that Greenspan had once been an outspoken advocate of the gold standard as the only monetary system that a free society should consider. Not long after my return to Congress in the election of 1996, I spoke with Greenspan at a special event that took place just before he was to speak in front of the House […]

FT.com / US – Detroit reels as $14bn rescue fails

The high profile effort to agree legislation to lend $14bn to the US auto industry collapsed on Thursday night, leading the Bush administration to hold open the possibility that it would seek funds from its financial rescue plan instead. Efforts to agree a deal in the US Senate ended in failure when Harry Reid, the leader of the Democratic majority, said negotiations with Senate Republicans were at an end and warned that millions of jobs were at stake as a […]

Mises.org: “Has Capitalism Failed?”

Post Image

Reflecting on the demise of Lehman Brothers and on Bank of America’s purchase of Merrill Lynch, I revisited an article by recent US presidential candidate Ron Paul, posted on mises.org: Capitalism should not be condemned, since we haven’t had capitalism. A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. It’s not capitalism when the system […]

“Challenge to America”

From “Challenge to America: A Current Assessment of Our Republic” by Ron Paul: Third Way compromise, or bipartisan cooperation, can never reconcile the differences between those who produce and those who live off others. It will only make it worse. Theft is theft, and forced redistribution of wealth is just that. The Third Way, though, can deceive and perpetuate an unworkable system when both major factions endorse the principle. Further: It’s important to understand how we got ourselves into this […]

At least Ron Paul is getting a platform for some divergent comment.
