Ron Paul: Energy Exploration is None of the Government’s Business
48 ResponsesGovernment and Gasoline by Ron Paul As we head into the summer driving season, and gasoline prices are again creeping up, the administration has announced plans to explore opening up more off-shore areas for exploration and drilling.

Ron Paul: The “Right” to Healthcare is Based on Theft and Coercion
39 ResponsesHealthcare and Economic Realities by Ron Paul With passage of last week’s bill, the American people are now the unhappy recipients of Washington’s disastrous prescription for healthcare “reform.” Congressional leaders relied on highly dubious budget predictions, faulty market assumptions, and outright fantasy to convince a slim majority that this major expansion of government somehow will [...]

More Spending is Never the Answer
8 Responsesby Ron Paul Last week, the House approved another increase in the national debt ceiling. This means the government can borrow $1.9 trillion more to stay afloat and avoid default. It has been little more than a year since the last debt limit increase, and graphs showing the debt limit over time show a steep, [...]
Ron Paul: Legalize Competing Currencies
37 ResponsesLegalize Competing Currencies by Ron Paul Much has been made recently about the supposed economic recovery. A few blips in a few statistics and many believe our troubles are all over. Of course, they have to redefine recovery as “jobless” to account for the lack of improvement on Main Street. But the banks have money, [...]
