More Wisdom From Ron Paul

[OnePimpTiger]

Former presidential candidate Ron Paul criticized President Obama's economic recovery proposal but said Saturday that blame for the financial crisis is deep-seated and includes Republicans who failed to hold the line on spending during the Bush administration...

...In the video, Paul said he wondered whether Republican opposition to the spending is too little, too late.

"It is like they're born-again budget conservatives," Paul said. "Where were we in the past eight years, when we could have done something? And you see our last eight years that has set this situation up. So we can't blame the Democrats for the conditions we have.

"We have to blame both parties and presidents of the last several decades to have generated this huge government."

Paul said that he agrees that the economy needs to be stimulated but that he doesn't think the federal government should be doing it.

"Sure, we want more spending," Paul said. "We need a lot more spending in the economy, but it has to be done by market forces, by individuals, by businesses making proper decisions."

It continues to amaze me how someone as straightforward and (from what I have seen) brilliant as Ron Paul could be elected the Senate. I thought Washington only allowed morons but I guess they needed at least one exception to the rule

Ha...he's definitely the exception and not the rule. We would be lucky to even have a handful of Pauls in there.
