In an article entitled A Sad State of Affairs, Congressman Ron Paul had this to say:
“It is both annoying and sad that there is so little interest by anyone in Washington in free market solutions to the world’s economic problems. True private ownership of property without regulation and abusive taxation is a thing of the past. Few understand how the Federal Reserve monetary policy causes the booms and the busts that, when severe, as now, only serve to enhance the prestige of the money managers while most politicians and Wall Streeters demand that the Fed inflate the currency at an even more rapid rate. Today’s conditions give license to the politicians to spend our way out of recession, they hope.
“One thing for sure, as a consequence of the recession and the 9-11 tragedy, is that big spending and deficits are alive and well. Even though we are currently adding to the national debt at the rate of $150 billion per year, most politicians still claim that Social Security is sound and has not been touched. At least the majority of American citizens are now wise enough to know better.”
Considering that Ron Paul seems to have such a good handle on the nature of the problem, his lack of support for NESARA, the only practical, comprehensive plan offering a general solution to the root cause of many of America’s problems, is indeed a very Sad State of Affairs. He is mistaken in believing that NESARA violates existing contractual obligations and is thus “anti-libertarian” and “unconstitutional.” That singular point is meticulously examined
on this web site. Perhaps, in the light of a failing economy and the ineffective actions of Congress and the Fed, he will reexamine his position. We’d like to think that Paul himself has not really studied the bill, but is only depending upon a misinformed staff to formulate his current position.
However, if we surmise incorrectly and Paul does indeed believe what his aide Jeffrey E. Deist (jeff.deist@mail.house.gov) has told us, then in the absence of true populist leadership in Congress, the people have no choice except to send in replacement players.
