Ron Paul has touted himself as the strongest fiscal conservative running for the Republican presidential nomination, and according to one new analysis, he may be right.

The Texas congressman ranks as the one candidate among four whose announced policies would leave America with a lower national debt than it would have under a status quo course.

That's the tentative conclusion of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a nonpartisan fiscal watchdog group, in a report evaluating the tax and spending policies of Representative Paul, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum.

The Alaska Dispatch has this same story from the CS Monitor with an even better headline:

Ron Paul, fringe candidate? Not if you want to reduce national debt (http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/ron-paul-fringe-candidate-not-if-you-want-reduce-national-debt)

"Some budget experts say these numbers regarding the Federal Reserve show only one implication of Paul's proposal. The bigger issue would be this: How would the economy function if the nation had no central bank to manage monetary policy?"

these poor misguded people...
