Ron Paul: Government Caused Mortgage Crisis; Cannot Solve It



Ron Paul Points Out Stupidity of Bailouts and Government Manipulation of Economy.

"Many Americans today are asking themselves how the economy got to be in such a bad spot.

For years they thought the economy was booming, growth was up, job numbers and productivity were increasing. Yet now we find ourselves in what is shaping up to be one of the most severe economic downturns since the Great Depression.

Unfortunately, the government's preferred solution to the crisis is the very thing that got us into this mess in the first place: government intervention." Click to read entire article: Bailouts will lead to rough economic ride

Libertarians have always understood what Republicans and Democrats seem unable to see: to work properly, a country's economy must be free from government interference. Yes, there should be government safeguards against the use of force or fraud by business people and corporations. But presidents and senators and congress people and bureaucrats and lobbyists and lawyers have no way to make the economy somehow magically better by interfering with the natural workings of the marketplace.

In Ron Paul's commentary cited above, he points out that government interference is what starts artificial economic imbalances in the first place, makes it impossible for corrections to happen quickly and easily as they would in a truly free market, and ultimately guarantees economic crisis. It is neither logical nor moral to blame Wall Street for what the government causes, as Barack Obama does. The culprit is government.

What is needed is an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which spells out that it is not a function of government to guide the economy, and prohibits any government activity aimed at economic influence. You do not live in a free country if the economy of your country is not free of lawmakers, lobbyists, bureaucrats and other political power-wielders.

Until Americans start listening to Ron Paul and other libertarians who understand economics, there will be continued and probably ever-worse economic crises. Government is creating hell. But the day will come when enough Americans will stand up and join Ron Paul in demanding of government: "Get the hell out of the way."






Speaking of "lifting higher", for the last election year studied (1998) some of the highest percentage of votes for Libertarian Party candidates were for candidates who had been studying free of charge the lessons of: Course in Political Miracles

“I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me." (Prayer from A Course in Miracles)

I love me some Ron Paul. Especially with this issue. I love how high and might politicians get when they think government is the solution to the problem government caused.

Is Sarah Palin's Joy Ayn Rand's Ideal?

Lesson 50: "I join Ayn Rand, educating spiritually." Government worshippers are in control of most universities, virtually every public school system, and almost every major media market. The general public has been thoroughly brainwashed to believe that if there is a problem, or the illusion of a problem, government solutions are the answer ... a new government program, a new government bureaucracy, more power to government. Because almost all avenues of education and information have been under the control of government worshippers, the vast majority of people are stuck in thinking habits which will never for long periods of time serve liberty. Because people's underlying thinking habits will rise to the surface again and again, any libertarian political victory can only be short-lived ... unless people's underlying way of thinking is changed. As much as I might hate to admit it, thorough re-education of the public cannot not be a number one priority for libertaria...

Ron Paul is Wrong; Mitt Romney is Right!

"Ron Paul does not believe we went into Iraq because of 9/11. But Mitt Romney obviously believes we did. So who’s right?" ~Gary Benoit The strained arguments of some libertarians that Dwight Eisenhower is somehow responsible for the 9/11 attack in New York is equivalent to arguing that President James Buchanan was responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre of the Baker-Fancher emigrant party on 9/11 in Utah. It is truth in the sense we are all responsible for everything in our world. This is a very valuable truth, wouldn't you say? The twisted leftist argument is that Islamic Jihadists would not have declared war on Western societies if it hadn't been for Western government policies reaching back through the years. But anyone who studies the Koran knows this argument is bullshit. The Koran demands that war be waged on "infidels" until everyone on earth is either converted to Islam, enslaved by Islamists, or killed. Mitt Romney is right. The United States...

Libertarian Mantra Exposes Obama Cruelty

President Obama has no choice but to offer you up as a sacrifice to his god.  His worship of the illusion that there can be a "common good" for society which transcends the good of individuals in the society demands your sacrifice. Yet libertarians fiddle. Are you amazed that libertarians blab about marijuana while the economy of the entire world is crashing?  Are you astounded that libertarians nit-pick about bedroom issues while the entire populace is being reduced to slavery?   Many libertarians spend their time forever addressing puny little issues which (a) make them look to the public like petty teenagers, and (b) serve only to side-track the public’s thought from an infinitely more important underlying truth. Okay, let's suppose you want to do some real good for the libertarian cause.  How about addressing  the one and only truly meaningful issue?  Maybe a little story would illustrate what libertarians should be talking about. One upon...
