01/30/10 Stockholm, Sweden – Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) delivers a speech in the clip below entitled, “Is That All There is to a Recession?” He provides ample evidence and explanation as to why, “the correction is just barely started and has a long way to run.” The insight is definitely worth passing on.

If Ron Paul had a speech coach he’d be invincible. His ideas are amazingly sound, his policies simple enough for a child to understand.
He has been consistently beaten by smooth talking media savvy puppets. Common sense doesn’t match charisma and glitz in the twenty first century. Ben Franklin was a fat old nerd and he wouldn’t poll well either.
Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is one hot babe. If brain cells were toothpicks she wouldn’t be able to start a campfire, but she looks great in running shorts.
The people get the the government they deserve. They don’t deserve Ron Paul.
Hold on to your hats. Unless I heard wrong, he predicted a currency collapse followed by hyperinflation. To my knowledge Dr. Paul’s predictions have never been wrong.
He stated the problem really well but I don’t agree with his solution. I doubt there is a solution except pushing reset.
Right on Scott! *S*
Dr. Paul suggest no taxes (3rd video. 4:40 time mark).
OK, someone educate me. How gov. can offer judicial/national defense and etc. without tax collections?
The gov’t has always had the power to collect taxes and levies from the states for the things you suggest. When the gov’t adopted the income tax, it began a levy on individual labor. It has since absorbed powers and responsibilities from the states to the point where it collects taxes from a regressive source, and allocates that money inefficiently and inappropriately.
Great comment Scott! Love it!
Ron Paul is saying things that most people can’t handle, and don’t want to hear. That comment about ‘the government you deserve’ kind of sums that up. Maybe Peter Schiff, also an Austrian, will prove to be more interesting a showman to the vapid public-at-large…
