No Amnesty For Wall Street

75 Responses

By RonPaul.com on September 27, 2008

by Chuck Baldwin At the time of this writing, the U.S. House and Senate are poised to pass a $700 billion bailout to Wall Street. At the behest of President George W. Bush, the U.S. taxpayers are going to be on the hook for what can only be referred to as the biggest fraud in [...]

Ron Paul: My Answer to the President

17 Responses

By RonPaul.com on September 25, 2008

Dear Friends: The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived. We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and malinvestment is to [...]

Ron Paul’s Joint Economic Committee Statement

7 Responses

By RonPaul.com on September 24, 2008

“Mr. Chairman, I believe that our economy faces a bleak future, particularly if the latest $700 billion bailout plan ends up passing. We risk committing the same errors that prolonged the misery of the Great Depression, namely keeping prices from falling. Instead of allowing overvalued financial assets to take a hit and trade on the [...]

Say NO to the Bailout

112 Responses

By RonPaul.com on September 23, 2008

Say NO to the forced redistribution of billions if not trillions of dollars and the de-facto nationalization of our nation’s entire financial system. Say NO to the special interests who are working to destroy the dollar and eliminate global confidence in America for decades to come. Say NO to any sell-out congressman or senator who [...]

By RonPaul.com on September 22, 2008

President Bush: “The risk of doing nothing far outweighs the risk of the [bailout] package!” Wold Blitzer: “What do you say to the President who wants you and your fellow Republicans and Democrats to quickly pass this 700 billion dollar bailout package?” Ron Paul: “Well I think that’s a mistake because we don’t have the [...]

Ron Paul on the Financial Crisis

105 Responses

By RonPaul.com on September 18, 2008

“Our problems start with the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is a monopoly and it controls interest rates artificially low, causing people to make mistakes. That’s the basic source. But then on top of that in the housing market we had the Community Reinvestment Act which told investors that they had to loan to risky [...]

Surrender to the Printing Presses

1 Response

By RonPaul.com on August 5, 2008

In his latest essay Dr. Ron Paul accurately diagnoses the government’s money dilemma and prescribes a painful but effective cure. We the people are in agreement, but our decadent politicians and bankers have decided to prolong the “easy credit” bonanza for as long as they possibly can. Are they oblivious to the risk of total [...]

Memorable Quote

“Inflation, indeed, throws a veil of illusion over every economic process. It confuses and deceives almost everyone, including even those who suffer by it. We are all accustomed to measuring our income and wealth in terms of money. The mental habit is so strong that even professional economists and statisticians cannot consistently break it. It is not easy to see relationships always in terms of real goods and real welfare. [...] Inflation is the autosuggestion, the hypnotism, the anesthetic, that has dulled the pain of the operation for him. Inflation is the opium of the people.”— Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson
