He took questions from the HS crowd about his 10% proposal. That was one thing. I was pretty banged up watching it.

I didn't like the interview. It was all about the "10% opt out" that RP talked about at CPAC (in passing). I took his comment at the time to be more of a rhetorical question, but Stossel had RP on discussing nothing but that, as if it was some kind of serious policy proposal.

Paul didn't have enough time to explain why we would be better off with something like that, and therefore half the audience sounded scared to death of not having access to "free government programs" like financial aid.

toober?

I thought RP was being rhetorical too when he said the 10% thing. The more important part of that speech was the idea of OPTING OUT.

Or that one young African American kid that asked the question. Which of course looks like "Ron Paul doesn't care about the poor." I liked Paul's answer "there would be more jobs in a free society and costs would be cheaper". If you goes into the "why" so quick their heads would explode. The one kid asked about "will I access to roads?" Small steps.

I think Ron Paul explanations to all the questions were simple. Personal responsibility is a personal choice. And that's the main idea of that "proposal". Its a foreign concept to the majority of my generation and younger.

He explains it was a rhetorical question. But the theme of the whole show was pretty much how a free society does things better. So it made sense to stay on that topic.

Unless they had pre-agreed to discuss that. he said he said it rhetorically and that he had discussed it being part of a platform should he run for President.
Putting the idea out their for discussion is a good way to get feedback and flesh the idea out prior to putting his chips down on the idea.

I agree with that. And if that was the deal, I just thought Ron, or Stossel should've taken the time to explain, for instance, why federal financial aid is not only immoral because it takes money from me to finance your education, but also, and just as important, that it is one of the main reasons why the cost of school has been inflated so much.

Putting the idea out is one thing...but RP's issues are very nuanced and need to be explained in more depth, especially for those young kids who've just got done being taught for 12 years that they must rely on the gov't.
