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....
So, a “revolutionist” believes aid should be cut to fellow human beings purely on the principle of some simple differences. Revert to an isolationist society simply because of money and other useless things running out. Once again, he seems dedicated to cyclical perpetuity through instituting “new” government. Which will simply devolve because we have not changed anything beyond the surface,

I don’t see how anyone can justify any of this foreign aid.
How much money were we giving to Pakistan while they hid bin Laden?
Call it buying friends or worldwide welfare we simply can’t afford it!!
With the deficit, the Bush Depression, and the burden of maintaining an empire for the corporate freeloaders I don’t see how we can afford any of this!

How does a country with 14 trillion dollars in debt afford to give so much aid to other countries?

Only %.9 of our funding goes towards foreign aid as opposed to our %9.6 which goes to defense.

You need to study, my friend. USA has the THIRD largest cache of oil underneath our very own soil. Our own government is holding back on oil drilling. You have to read the papers more and not watch TV. Nothing can be learned from TV. TV news are not the whole truth. Must news is left out.
Get to the library and read technical journals. Improve your mind. We DON’T need to support foreign interests. That especially includes all Middle East and Asian countries.

I believe that much of the aid does not go to the people anyhow.

Ray-gun was right about ONE thing: build a Star Wars shield to keep the bastards out. And per Ronny Paul, cut off ALL foreign aid.
We don’t need these shits at all!

I agree, cut off all the wellfare to all foreign countries. If they want aid let them do it by our Constittution. Become a State and Join the Union. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Ron Paul is 1,00,000,000 percent correct! Fuck the foreigners. USA has undeveloped oil resources that will make us entirely free of all foreign oil. And we have our very own food supply.

I’d venture to guess you agreed 100% with what obama said during his campaign several years ago. ” My first priority as president is bringing troops home from iraq and afganastan.
We’re waiting……
Oh wait, HE’S ON VACATION!

pipersmitty87 got it right.
Yes, Ron Paul was ignored by the media. Why? Because Europe’s Reuters News and America’s Associated Press are both owned by the Rothschilds, by the world’s banksters. I define “News” as Nincompoops Exploiting Wide-eyed Simpletons.

The entire footage states that how the world has changed now. Since there was opposition from all sides, the first step that was taken was, reduce opponents and make them friends. But this was not practical. In fact, it was mean.

We the United States of America are the most evil, destructive and most depraved nation and society in history. Sure we may believe Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany, Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union or Pol Pot’s Cambodia are examples of the pure embodiment of evil but their dictatorships harmed only their own people than a global network of people brainwashed by a nation similar to Star Trek’s Borg Collective. I would rather live in a monarchy than in a democracy.
