Pelosi and Paul really don’t share the same foreign policy. Pelosi would still have us policing the world, Paul wouldn’t.
Where has Pelosi called for us to police? Certainly not Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Tawain, Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Somalia, Burma....
Problem is, even if Paul were made President tomorrow, the system is far too deeply entrenched to do a thing about it.
Basically, there is on the order of 13 trillion or more paper dollars in one form or other in various economies, there is simply no way to back all of that with gold or what have you.
And that leads to the other issue, if the above is true, the only way to keep things moving is via inflated growth around the globe, the two go hand in hand.
