As a rule I find discussions of economics and monetary policy to be, frankly, boring. I have not let that stand in my way of trying to grasp at least the core principles of Dr. Paul's arguments in support of Austrian economics, commodity based currency and the elimination of the Fed. I want to be able to at least address those issues should they come up in my proselytizing... er, ah... campaigning for him.
All that being said, I found an interesting article following a link from an article on the ever entertaining Wonkette Ron Paul RSS feed (http://wonkette.com/politics/ron-paul/index.xml)
