My wife and I both work. We have two children (2 & 4). Neither job provides health insurance. We cannot afford private health insurance for the family. If one of gets sick we lose money from time off from work as well as carry the additional financial burden of Dr/ hospital bills. Our solution has been not to get care and tough-it-out.
Now, I strongly agree with your ideas on the FED as well as others; however, why is health care of Americans a privilege and not a right?

Ron please run in 2012. We need to get rid of the Fed and all the illegal taxation currently stealing worker’s incomes. The currency is currently on the brink of ruins, and we need someone, like yourself, who understands the issues to take over and fix them; and restore the government to the powers it enjoyed when the United States was debt free / had limited inflation.

Dr.Paul,
Please run in 2012! I tried to vote for you in 08 but I didnt have the option to write you in.It is time that COMMON SENCE came back to Washington. It hasnt been there in a very long time. Start campaining NOW! Take every opportunity to get on TV,radio everything. Preach your values and stand on them. Tell the American people that they deserve an honest person running this country that cannot be bought. I am in the south and in 08, the only time that I really saw you on TV you didnt have nowhere near enough airtime, not even half of Obsama/McCains. GOD BLESS!!

This man is amazing ! He supports the Constitution and thats rare with politicans today ! I would move to Texas to vote for him in Congress if I could afford to. He is a man with some good old fashion common sense. Something this country needs more of instead of what we have in the White House now. Obama is spending more money than anybody has to date. He is sending more of our boys to die instead of bringing them home. Ron Paul is correct in saying if we would bring ALL our boys home from around the globe and stop trying to police the world, we would find less hate cast our way. We have stupid laws, wide open borders, and government running amuck on our rights and civil liberties ! Ron Paul For President 2012 and 2016 ! Let me help if I can !

Dr Paul,
I really hope that you can face the ridiculous media outlets again in 2012 for the sake of all of those who aren’t willing to compromise their freedoms. You will have my vote even if you don’t run. I will just write it in manually somewhere and know that I won’t regret what I did. We don’t need a cool leader of the band, we need good music. We must all educate those around us and share as much information as we can as a society to improve and define our future. I am extremely thankful for all you have done to educate and share all that you have learned in your fascinating careers. Still hopeful for a better future,
-Joel

I sincerely hope for the sake of not only the US but the rest of the world (I’m in Australia) that you are successful in 2012.
The effects of the actions of the Federal Reserve and reckless government Deficit spending over the past 30 years can be felt across the Globe. The fact that all currencies are tied to the US dollar means any changes made in Washington have a ripple effect around the globe.
The way of life for everyday people struggling to pay household bills, save for their first home in an inflated property market has changed dramatically. It is strange that it is now considered routine for both parents in a family household to have to be in the workforce just to make ends meet. The downstream social effects this has on the development of todays children will be considerable.
I sincerely hope that you can inspire the people of America to vote for you and bring control of the worlds monetary supply back under the control of the people, only then will we all be truly free and able to work together for the betterment of all mankind.
Josh:)

“Wake up” – In fact, I am of the opinion that things were deseigned well BEFORE JFK was assassinated. Let’s go back a little farther. To about the time senator Aldrich snuck in the bill on a Christmas break starting the federal reserve. You asked yourself “who is behind Obama?” and “Whose puppet is he?”. Now, I have been accused of being off my rocker and little crazy, but my personal opinion is the international bankers and the fed. Rothschild was even once quoted as saying, “Give me control of a nation’s money supply and I care not who makes it’s laws”. In fact, it is MY personal opinion that it spans party lines. Republican, Democrat, it doesn’t matter they are all controlled by the same people, and it boils down to the same thing since time began…money and power. There are, Thankfully, people of good character that still know how to fight for the Constitution such as Dr. Paul. What’s even MORE amazing to me than the fact that we are becoming socialist, is that so many Americans are SUPPORTING it. They might not even know it is socialist because, of course, our educational system has been dumbing down everyone since the creation of the Federal board of education. In fact, I think that was their job. Before the board of education we had some of the highest ranks worldwide and now we aren’t anywhere near the top. I submit that this is all part of the plan at a new world order, and a one world government.

I agree with you joe, people need to be shown what they are fed, before they decide to eat. Eyes need to be open, before shit hits the fan, which is already happening. This has been planned all in the longrun, and hidden from the public. If you disagree with our president, “your either a terrorist, or racist”. Rushing bills and keeping hush is the governments specialty, Where the fuck is the freedom of act bill? Why are they beating around the bush every dam time we ask a serious question? This is shown that they have an agenda, and don’t want publicity or say that it is National Defense. We all know whats going on, But whos to say if this bill does pass (HR1207) that no one is getting paid off from the gov. to make up a audit? Billions/Trillions. Money talks and Most political Men in congress live off that. Greed. Is there anyone we can truely trust? Thats why i turn to Ron Paul, at least hes honest. Along with his brother. I agree with everything you stated, Americans will believe what they are told and/or given. Peace.

Of course what you say is 100 percent correct especially when we are fed a Daily Dump of news from some silly newscaster named bianca or what have you on a daily basis. We have to be prepared when the dung really hits the fan! The news outlets are all dungsters, and we can trace these dungmongers back to the source of the dungstery and geuss who that is? I’ll give you a hint. It ain’t Dennis the crazy dungster or Hussein Achmad Chan!
This is why people really seem to me to be mindless sheep. If they were not sheep they would have woken up a long time ago and Ron Paul would be in the white house where he belongs!

Everything was being designed since the killing of jfk, economic failure by structural design, market control, take a look of all obamas administration, who do they work for? wallstreet. builderburg group, do research, and understand that everything is orginized and meant to be for the people to run out of desperation to our government. Understand that the government owns almost everything they made look like it failed now. Its all orginized and people are getting paid off to lie, and corrupt, and change our constitution of the usa. Thus explaining why people are saying that this is a socialist country, Militias are forming agian, and why the bankers choose a “black man” who speaks really amazing to sell this shit to us. If you oppose then your supposed to be a racist? OMG come on. Whos behind obama? Whos puppet is he? Who owns the media corporations? Whos being fed what? Be openminded and stop believing that the government is going to save everything when they created it in the first place. Research President Andrew Jackson. What did the centeral bank try to do to him? Kill him for control. Ron paul is the only real senator that i see speaking up, and thats why i support him. Congress isnt buying this federal bullshit, so contact your local senator and ask him to pass the HR 1207 bill, which audits our “above the law” Fed reserve & or Treasury. Do researcg and understand. Im not saying be a terrorist or extremist, defend the constitution and its rights. For we are the people. Not the gov. http://www.infowars.com

Ron Paul’s interview on healthcare reform today, was way off base. He stated that the reason for healthcare inflation was due to government design. Let me remind everyone, the government does not pay for all healthcare, 46%. If his statement were true, then private insurance would be extremey affordable….wrong. Next, he proclaimed that we need to allow market forces to take affect in controling costs. He is right that over the years, the line item amount paid to a medical provider has been reduced by 50%. What he failed to mention is that providers have compensated their losses in income by providing more services. In a sense we are victims of our own free market economy. So , we need a catalyst for change. We have tried free market and self reform and those have not worked. Why not have some outside intervention.

I have to agree that government does not pay for all healthcare, but I must respectfully disagree that if they did, private healthcare would be extremely affordable. I think the opposite, in fact, is true. Especially if the government mandated their healthcare. Private insurance companies would be on the road to collapse. Next…the government does NOT pay for ANY healthcare…WE do, with our unconstitutional, unapportioned income taxes…so why should I have to pay for everyone’s healthcare? restructure the welfare department instead. These are the people that it was put in place to help. Instead it is given to people sitting on their rear-ends not working for generations. Sure, there are people that use it for what it was made for. Most just shake the system down and it has come to be more of a lifestyle than what it was intended to be, which is a temporary help. Hasn’t this administration caused enough debt for us? I DO think that the increase in healthcare costs from providers was, at least partially, caused by increasing frivolous malpractice lawsuits and other frivolous legal action. In order to pay the increasing cost of malpractice insurance. Now, as I said, this is not the whole of the problem or even the majority, but it contributes.
There are also documented cases from France and Canada, places with nationalized healthcare, that come here to our hospitals and get things done because their own national healthcare wouldn’t give them treatment they needed. Also, have you read the healthcare bill? It’s full of nothing but giving the government more power over things they should have no power over or be involved in. One other important fact is, free market made this country great. the problem is NOT free market, the problem is the government over-regulating the market. The market will take care of itself. If things fail, then they fail. In a true free market, costs MUST be kept reasonable or the people will go somewhere else. The government running healthcare? You have to be kidding me. These are the same people that have lost our social security money. As far as government healthcare goes, ask a native american. They have been on government healthcare for a long time. There’s a reason why they say they hate it. The fact is that the Federal government is already in places that it has no business being in. I confess that I am no economist. I’m just a regular guy that goes to work everyday, trying to make ends meet, but i’m smart enough to know that what I DON’T need is more government involvement in things they shouldn’t be in and more taxes taken from me to pay for it. Respectfully….

Big government doesn’t work. Layton is incorrect in the statement: “We have tried free market and self reform and those have not worked. Why not have some outside intervention.”
Here’s why: (1) We have NOT tried the free market. This country has never had a free market. Politicians have interfered with the free market (to our detriment) as long as we’ve had politicians. (2) I’m not sure what was meant by “self reform.” Perhaps Layton meant government regulatory bodies attempting to reform business or business practices. If that’s what you mean, of course it didn’t work. How can a bunch of out of touch politicians in Washington know how to create regulations (self reform ?) of an industry in which they have absolutely no knowdedge? They can’t. (3) It’s governmental intervention that CAUSES problems in the first place. (I suggest you, and everyone else, log on to mwhodges.com and get yourself a real education on economics and how it relates to politics). And finally (4) In relation to health care: since when has adding a whole new layer of government bureaurcracy ever LOWERED costs? (Hint: NEVER!).

You’re right James….but I think that we did have a little bit of a free market at one time (I could be wrong), because it was what made this country great and the powerhouse it became, but you’re absolutely correct. As long as politicians have been in Washington, they have done nothing but take all the things that really work with this country and lay them to waste. They are the ones that enabled all the manufacturing jobs to go to taiwan, china, mexico, etc…We lost everything when we went from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, of course that’s not the ONLY reason but I think that’s what caused the most damage to our economy. We no longer have the ability to reasonably sustain our economy from within. That’s what I think, anyway. I’m gonna check out that site you brought up. I don’t really know as much about economics as I’d like to, or as I need to, but I do have eyes and a brain that is capable of thought and it’s not hard to see that anytime the government gets involved with anything…it’s a recipe for certain failure.
