I can not believe there are still people like you that follow the government without questioning anything… If you would actually study a bit of history and current politics; hell, you might acutally learn something. And HAHAHAHA you actually believe Ron Paul’s interests are in China? …man, people are stupid. Wake up… you’re just part of the herd.

FTW??!?!?! PAT BUCHANAN?!?! What a joke…

But then the fact is, this is more than just a national problem now. We are in debt up to our eyeballs. We have a federal deficit and a national trade deficit that are sucking credit out of our economy at a huge rate. That’s what’s destabilizing our economy. It’s not the Fed doing it. The Fed is at its limit of how to keep an economy in such poor shape from going over the edge. Sure they helped get it here, but is the answer to go to a gold standard just in time to pay off all these massive debts? I question the timing more than the answer.

Sure, let’s go to a gold standard just in time to pay off the communist Chinese for all they’ve done for us. That makes sense, right? Let’s not protect our industries. Let’s not protect our vital national interests and resources. Let’s just go to a gold standard and not ask whose best interest that move is in. That’s what Ron Paul would have you do. He’s pulling the wool over your eyes with his ideology while his strings are being pulled by the Chinese. He is as much the Manchurian candidate as Obama or McCain.

Then he has the gall to criticize Obama when he does just one little piece of what he promised to do in his election campaign? Hell, Ron Paul threw his support behind Chuck Baldwin, who was even more agains fair trade than Obama. Would he be stabbing him in the back now if he won the election? I guess that answer is, yes!

I don’t get this whole notion that we will end the fed from an audit. Nobody supports ending the fed in congress, they just want answers. THE MOST they will do is strip their powers, they wont just “end the fed.”

How could tires made on the other side of the world, then shipped to Albany, [Georgia], be sold for less than tires made in Albany?

Here’s how.

At Cooper Tire, the wages were $18 to $21 per hour. In China, they are a fraction of that. The Albany factory is subject to U.S. health-and-safety, wage-and-hour and civil rights laws from which Chinese plants are exempt. Environmental standards had to be met at Cooper Tire or the plant would have been closed. Chinese factories are notorious polluters.

China won the competition because the 14th Amendment’s “equal protection of the laws” does not apply to the People’s Republic. While free trade laws grant China free and equal access to the U.S. market, China can pay workers wages and force them to work hours that would violate U.S. law, and China can operate plants whose health, safety and environmental standards would have their U.S. competitors shut down as public nuisances.

Beijing also manipulates its currency to keep export prices low and grants a rebate on its value-added tax on exports to the U.S.A., while imposing a value-added tax on goods coming from the U.S.A.

Thus did China, from 2004 to 2008, triple her share of the U.S. tire market from 5 percent to 17 percent and take down Cooper Tire of Albany.

Is this what Ron Paul wants? Does he want to turn us into China? Does he want our factories to pump crap into the air we breathe and the water we drink? And these tires the Chinese make are crap. You take your life in your hands if you put those POS on your car. Is that Ron Paul’s America, Wal Mart America?

Up and down the line Ron Paul agrees with the Communist Chinese. He wants all our foreign bases closed. We just finished closing hundreds of bases all over the world as part of BRAC. We continued closing bases well after 9/11 when we were attacked by the air and were not able to successfully intercept a single foreign controlled airplane. Our defense spending has not gone down one dime since all those bases were closed. All that has happened is our defense contractors have gotten richer. And this is Ron Paul’s solution for rising defense costs? This is how he proposes to make us safer? What a bunch of bs.

The Communist Chinese don’t want us devaluing our dollar. They don’t want us running up a huge, $9 trillion deficit with them and then paying them back with money that’s worth less than what we were loaned. And what’s Ron Paul’s stand on that? Ron Paul wants us to go to a gold standard. He doesn’t want the Chinese to get cheap, worthless dollars back either. He wants us to give them all our gold!

The Communist Chinese don’t want us to have any tariffs. They want us to throw our markets open to their cheap baubles and beads. They want to be able to raid our nations industrial might. They buy our factories and put them up in their country, staff them with slave labor and ship it across the Pacific Ocean to us for cheaper than we can produce it ourselves. They have stripped us of our industrial might this way. And what does Ron Paul say? He’s all for the Chinese. He wants the same thing.

Now you tell me, is that “conservative”? Is it conservative to sell out your country? Is it conservative to look after the interests of Communist Red China before those of your own United States of America? He’s always happy to talk about those “black helicopters”. He’s always happy to tell you to fear those in your own government first. Don’t fear the Chinese, fear your neighbor. Fear the police. Fear the military. But he’s not a traitor? He’s a conservative, right?

We need to take serious steps to put a balance to global financing. We can’t just rely on other countries resources and capital to provide our economic needs. Its foolish, its dangerous, and it’s habit forming.

You are correct, free trade only works if both parties participate. The whole idea of free trade is that both countries will buy goods from each other but this is obviously not the case. If anybody begs to differ, they obviously don’t understand laissez’s principles, and how a free market is supposed to work.
