"With this understanding and clarification, Ron Paul is correct. Government is regulating more and more and more. Regulated industries tend to capture the bureaucracies that regulate them, ie the drug industry influences the FDA, farmers influence the agriculture department."


Friedrich Hayek noted that we were headed down this path in his 1944 piece "Road to Serfdom". If anything, we have picked up the pace since then.

I can guarantee to you that Ron Paul has read Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom”.
