Ron Paul on CNS News 2009.03.05

[zrac09]

from the left and right i have heard

audit and regulate the fed. maybe abolish them altogether...whom do they serve anyway?

[joel1923]

We should have elected Ron Paul as our President...

[JSparkleZ2]

I think that between now and 2012 Ron Paul should start teaching classes in economics, world history, american history, constitutional law, foreign and domestic policy, monetary policy... Fuck it he should really just open a college...

[akihabro]

The doctor is in. Listen to him, he's right!

[ehullsner]

I hope and pray that people will understand that those recieving welfare are not looked down upon it is those that believe it is the government's job to give the welfare that I look down upon. We need to understand as a people that dishonsty and cheating need regulation not Markets and Free People! Ron Paul is the most honest man in the current political world!

[MaurDL]

I would argue he's the most honest man in recent history, if not ever.

[NoBailout4Banksters]

How bout this for a slogan?

2 Pauls make it RIGHT!!

Dr. Paul/Dr. Paul 2012

That would be a REAL Dream Team!!

Now that would be History Making we could get behind. Father and Son for President and Vice President.

"Switch to Gold, the Fed WILL Fold"

I think he should drop the idea of people looking to the federal government for services from "cradle to grave". I've never met a single person who does believe this and socialist we aren't when it comes to caring.

[njThaze]

I think what Paul refers by saying cradle to grave is: social security, the idea of national health care, fdic, welfare, medicare, medicaid, fed gov bail outs, etc. all of these policies supress freedom of the individual because the gov takes $ from the producing for these programs. obama wants to eliminate charity support from private people (ending tax writeoff) to get charities to seek gov handouts. this is the march of socailism we need to fight. look at walter reed to see gov healthcare.

[33115566]

I've never received nor sought any services from above mentioned programs. I would like my SS taxes back eventually. Charity deductions have been abused. Just because the government puts services in place doesn't mean you have to use them. Be like Paul, look down on anybody using government services.

[njThaze]

it is not the governments job to provide charity services for citizens. that would be a role best filled by charitable orgs. u make an ad hominem thinking I look down on those who receive welfare instead of providing a logical counter argument. with roughly $70 trillion due in entitlement spending in the coming yrs I would not rely on Social sec. this gets the the inherent problem of your cause, socialism=central economic planning does not work whether it is by the fed res, bush, obama, fdr, etc

[2012Ronpaul2012]

excellent stuff!

[codernur]

I this continues RP will become the spokesman for the GOP. Because he's the only one that knows what's going on.

[gregkillborn]

greatest politician in united states history. Period. This man is the only hope for our country to get out of this depression. Im personally doing my part to let people know that this man is going to be the greatest president if elected. RON PAUL 2012.

CNS News, thank you for interviewing Congressman Ron Paul.  It's always good to hear his common sense reasoning.
