Ron Paul is 10 times better than loony mcbama.

@beebop46n2 I've been working as hard as possible to spread the word. I know I've turned a few people onto him and I hope those people will turn it on to others.

Ron Paul supporters we need to step up our game and inform the masses on why it's so important that Ron Paul wins the election in 2012. I've been trying to spread the word. All this stimulus plan did was makes things much worse for the American taxpayer and citizen. We need someone that supports the citizens and not government control.

Obama talks about the economy in a way that says we have to do something. But when he says "we," he means the government. And the government isn't a help to jobs and the economic faulure. The government is mostly responsible. And they've made it worse.

The WORST is this: the more the government destroys the economy, the more they have to use as an excuse to intervene.

Strong government interference is like an illegal drug. We're addicted, but it isn't at all helping- Not anyone. Not at all

He was right about the bill not helping the economy long term. In fact, the people it supposedly "helped" often became too dependent on the government's money, while the dollar lost its value. I've heard specifically this about schools in SC. You can't just print money. This harms us more then helps a few people, when it comes to what it does total.

When Obama says that the government has to do SOMETHING, ask yourself if it's the government's job to create jobs and "save" our economy.

Ron Paul is right on his speech on this. High debt with other countries is not only dangerous because we could suffer a huge economic crisis. We speccifically have a high debt with China. Their sinister evil government has given us money that they potenially STOLE from their people and if they ask for China's money back, it will be both harmful to their citizens and harmful to us.

Debt with communist-dictorial governments that are our potential enemies of us, is danger for us and our economy

he is dead on. its going to take something drastic to wake up all Americans to the scams their governments have been a part of.

[acriscio]

It's not like this is anything new. This has been going on since the beginning of this country: if you want the people or their representatives to allow something that they wouldn't otherwise allow then you need to make it complicated enough so that no one will understand. The entire existence of a lawyer class is proof of this. We're all taught that Hammurabi's code was so important because it was the first time that the ruler decided to follow a set of regulations that everyone knows about.

That is right. They are doing atrocious things. Go Ron Paul 2012
