Paul says the biggest issue of the day is foreign policy "and a war we're not winning," but he says government spending is linked to the war -- and that spending is influencing the value of the dollar. "If the currency goes down, it's an indication that there's something very significantly wrong with the economy of that particular country and I think you're seeing that right now," Paul says. "If you look at many great nations and great empires, when they faltered their currency faltered. That's what they saw when the British pound lost prominence, the British Empire fell apart."

The political pandering just has no boundaries for Dr. Ron does it?
loon alert.
"I'm o.kay, just scraped my knee a bit."
Let's ask Saddam and the Republican Guard if the war is turning into a rout for Americans... Everyone join hands, and let's listen for the voices of the spirits...
Oh, right, they're dead. War's won.
is being kind!
“Paul says the biggest issue of the day is foreign policy “and a war we’re not winning,” but he says government spending is linked to the war — and that spending is influencing the value of the dollar.”
War tends to pump UP the economy. People living beyond their means ... credit ... SUBprime mortgage ballooning interests rates causing foreclosures tends to pump DOWN the economy. As for Iraq, poor Ron Paul ... to earth Ron Paul ... to your dismay ... WE ARE WINNING!
Did he (ron paul)have his own likeness minted on the currency ?
So does that mean that the empire is back now, along with the pound?
If you are impressed with Ron Paul, you are easily impressed.
Where’s a tin foil hat picture when one needs one ?
Guy’s a nut.
What we need is a pledge from this Don Quixote that he won’t go a-tilting at 3rd-party style windmills. That would put the hildebeeste in power. And she will do whatever it takes to get him to run. That is the most crucial matter in the world today, IMOH.
Not winning......hahhahah
No British Empire?
Hopefully Paul will get Rosie O”donnell’s Conspiracy theory vote
In a word, yes. Besides, all it would take for hildebeeste to slurp at the White House trough again would be any name perceptibly to the right of her heinouss, placed on the November 08 ballot. The protest votes alone would shoo her in. I'm certain that her people are working on it with time, money and ass-kissing.
This is evidence that the dude is a loon. Paul has got huge Ego problems. Scary that he is even in Congress. But then someone has got to support the Wild Texas Shrimp Industry with tax money!!!!!
. “If you look at many great nations and great empires, when they faltered their currency faltered. That’s what they saw when the British pound lost prominence, the British Empire fell apart.”
*******************
The British empire fell apart because they didn’t treat their colonies as equal British citizens.
Foreign states have voluntarilly joined the Union, because we give them equal protection under the law. Some have postulated that Canada would have eventually joined the US if it werent for the war of 1812.
What does government living beyond its means mean?
Saying that War pumps up an economy is like the theory of broken windows. If someone throws a rock through your window, you have to replace it. That means you spend money, which helps the economy. However, you are worse off. The net effect is negative.
Pretty hard to say that the destruction of capital requiring people to spend their own capital to bring them back to the same level is productive to an economy.
I wonder if I should do this. I have a pair of black MC boots with red boot laces. Does anybody else here have black boots with red shoelaces? Do you feel like bashing and stomping on idiots? Yeah, I met the nicest bunch of lads around.
