Neil Cavuto: A mess that’s getting messier, and reason enough for Texas Republican Ron Paul to say, “The U.S. should stop getting in deeper and cut all financial to Egypt now.” The Congressman joins me now on the phone. Well, that would be a big move, Congressman.
Ron Paul: Well, it would, but I’d include everybody, because I think we just get ourselves into too much trouble. This is a typical example of what happens when we run an interventionist-type foreign policy; we get in the middle of these fights. But we’ve been in the middle of this for 30 years over there. We’ve given Mubarak $60 billion, you know. And so we’re responsible for a lot of the mess that’s over there.
Neil Cavuto: What if we did indeed pull out or stop giving them money? The argument is someone else comes in to our detriment. What do you say?
Ron Paul: Well, that may be, but you don’t know whether it would be to our detriment. Somebody else is going to come in, the big fight now is for us to be charge. I mean, if Mubarak survives, we want to be on his side. If they get a new guy, we want to be on their side. And I just think that doesn’t work, because eventually the people rebel. For a while it seems to be stable, but it’ so artificial.
I mean, all that money going over there, they have a 450,000 man army that will probably be turned against the people unless they take over the government, and there’s a lot of wealth there for a few people, and the people are suffering. It just sets the stage for this. They should be forced to live within their means and take care of themselves. But I would do that with all countries, I wouldn’t just cut off Egyptian aid, I’d cut off all aid to the Middle East, and maybe that whole area would be better off for it.
Neil Cavuto: Well, the argument against doing that, Congressman – we’ve heard this so many times – is that in this case the Muslim Brotherhood through groups like Al-Qaida and the rest would get an enormous influence in the region, a region rich in oil, and we’d be having to kowtow to them.
Ron Paul: Yea, that is the argument. But have they ever thought whether the growth of groups like this is because they have a target, and the target is us, our puppet governments? I mean, we didn’t have to worry about radical mullahs in Iran until we put the Shah in, and then it took a couple of decades and finally the people rebelled and there was a revolution and there was a blowback to us and an unintended consequence.
So yes, I think we have to worry about the radicals, but we have to understand how they get their motivation; and their motivation, how they arouse the people and radicalize them is when we take over. I mean, I think the big issue here is how long is it going to take for this to happen in Saudi Arabia and for people to say that’s impossible, I think they’re kidding themselves. Now that would be big news and that would be major. Maybe that’s why some people are discounting that and I think oil went up 6 to 7 dollars in the last trading day.
Neil Cavuto: That’s right.
Ron Paul: So there’s something significant going on, there’s a lot of concern there.
Ron Paul: On the fear of just that. Great, Congressman, thank you very much. Good having you.
Ron Paul: Sure thing.
Processing your request, Please wait....
Ron is wrong, borrowing money from china to give it to dictators to fund their military to violently put down opposition is what the usa is supposed to do. When the rest of the world gets angry at us for not minding our own business we just need to go broke waging undeclared wars to show them how f’n crazy we are and not to mess with us.
In fact if someone harbors alleged terrorists we should release rape gangs to rape their women to scare them into not raising children that think usa is bad.

They are taking pledges for 100 dollars to support Ron Paul’s campaign in 2012. Their goal is to get 100,000 pledges for 100 each for a total of 10,000,000 dollars for campaign support. If Ron Paul has 10,000,000 dollars for his campaign, there is no way he will lose, considering he already has a 41 percent approval rating, which compares to Obama’s 42 percent.
To pledge to donate 100 dollars when Ron Paul confirms he is running, go to

The U.S. has given Egypt 2 billion dollars every year since 1979. Calculate. That is 60 billion dollars. The U.S. could have used that 60 billion dollars. Logically, why would you give Egypt 60 billion dollars (They say “most” went to military)(Do you not think the dictator did not keep money for himself? You know what 60 billion could have done for the U.S. infrastructure? You know the national debt is 14 trillion dollars and counting?

Time to break the CON – Laws are meant to be broke especially before they break you. When the power of love is greater than the love of power we will know peace. Right now the Government is going to have to get out of the way to peace. 911 was an inside job, take a closer look.

I love Dr. Paul…but honestly, how in the hell will he get through a general election when Fox news makes him out to be the crazy uncle you keep in the closet. Just like they did in 2008…just watch, Fox will portray Paul as crazy, even though he’s the most honest and thoughtful of all the politicians up on the stage…This will be interesting…..

1.2 million is the figure I found. But the purpose of this funding was to keep the Israel-Egypt peace treaty intact and from what I can tell was preventing wars. This is a small price to pay in comparison to the billions we spend funding our wars.

I’m Arab and American and I’m for cutting off all aid to the Middle East (cut off aid to all Arab countries and to israel). When the US gives aid to a country like it did to Egypt, the White House then dictates the policies of that country and threatens to withhold that aid if the leader of that country doesn’t adopt the White Houses’ policies. We need leaders in the Arab World who are independent of the US. Also, I’m against israel sucking financial aid to harm the Palestinian People.

People are going to vote for whoever is promoted by the media. Ron Paul is never going to become president, unless he sells out his ideals to get more funding like his son did. And his son still is just in the Senate, even he is probably too fringe to make it to the presidency. However if someone came out who was really dominating in his presence like Jesse Ventura he might have a shot. Because people look for ‘strong leaders’ since they’re afraid to lead themselves

Once again Ron Paul speaks true common sense. For crying out loud if the American people do not support him and elect him as our next President we as a Country will be doomed with our corrupt politicans/corporations.
