I suppose you're entitled to your opinion regardless of how silly I find it..
Ron Paul is FOR the people IMO.....

I didn't see much fact in your OP..
Tarp is good?
Quantitative easing works?

Gorgi, Paul is a pure constitutionalists. He finds that those organizations are unconstitutional.. Which really they are but I understand in this day and age they are a necessary evil (or are they...).
I will say though on the tariffs issue.. Making it more expensive for companies to manufacture goods and then import them into the states might provide incentive for production within the US.. Especially if their tax rates go down for manufacturing inside the us...
Jobs stimulate economy... Manufacturing stimulates economy.. Industry stimulates economy... If there is nothing left but a pure consumerist society.. we are doomed to fail.edit on 6-5-2011 by DaMod because: (no reason given)

He certainly couldn't do much worse than the government has been doing for awhile. He has different ideas than most of the rest of the politicians which makes look pretty good to me. The government certainly hasn't been doing real great with the economy so...

Facts? Yes, let's talk about them, shall we?
For starters, how about your sources for said facts?
Washington Post?
Bloomberg?
Youtube?
CNBC?
A Federal Reserve article that has nothing to do with Ron Paul?
Wow, you really are clueless... you believe everything that the mass media and Youtube tells you?
Look at the man's voting record.... he's never once voted against the People and has always voted in a way that keeps American's at heart.
You sound exactly like what most on here would consider a Gov't shill. You don't know that the Federal Reserve is a private bank? You have the balls to say that they are an important body in government??? They are the root of the problem my misunderstood friend. All I can say is, Wow....
Government produces NOTHING. Anything related to Federal Government is a COST to the people with nothing being produced and no revenue being returned, just expense after expense.
You sound extremely ignorant, arrogant and very uneducated about the facts and how the government has manipulated every possible situation they could for the benefit of a few. You are either one of those few or someone paid by them IMO because the average American does not think like you do. You definitely don't understand the completely negative impact of Sorbanes-Oxley, nor do you understand the role of the Federal Reserve, especially if you think they are part of the government. You have a lot to learn, and thankfully, ATS is a great resource for getting REAL FACTS instead of being spoon-fed the dribble you are referencing in your sources.
Good luck here on ATS... you'll need it.

Ron Paul has been constantly wrong on most stuff relating to the economy. His ideas of what he wants to do to the country will destroy it.
Ron Paul says he wants a smaller government. I suppose he doesnt realize what his actions will do to the country.
He says he wants to get rid of many government agencies including the DOE, DHS, IRS, FEMA, DHHS, and the federal reserve.. What is he thinking? These are horrible ideas. The DOE oversees the US energy, inspections, research ect.
The DHS keeps us safe.
FEMA responds to disasters.
The federal reserve is a very important body of the government.
Doesnt he realize that by abolishing this he will destroy the country?
The federal reserve is what keeps the US government going.
We need a strong independent federal reserve.
Studies have shown that the more independent that are the lower the inflation rate is.
He keeps calling the Fed wrong or that Bernanke doesnt know what hes doing but thats just plain wrong.
He also wants to bring back the gold standard but thats another failure too.
He voted against the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Does he want another Enron scandal ?
He wants to get rid of the income tax
and fun the government through tariffs.
Not only do I not want a North American Union, I want us out of the U.N., the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA. NAFTA has nothing to do for free trade. It’s a pretense to lower tariffs, but it’s a reason to go talk to the WTO to raise tariffs. We need free trade. That’s very, very important. But you don’t get that by world government.
Thats insane. Tariffs reduce trade and there will not be enough money to fun the government.
His idea of a small government does not work in the twenty-first century, maybe in in the 1800's.
He wants to have a national sales tax. There wont be enough money raised to support the government.
Maybe if we abolish government to the point that the is almost no it might work, but thats not realistic.
