****This is really Dr. No’s Retirement Account. It boggles the mind that so many self-anointed “bright” people can be this gullible.****

It seems to me that it is the Ron Paul haters, on this forum, that are reduced to using unintelligent arguments against him.

Ron Paul has refused the “very generous” congressional pension. So to make this kind of charge against him is rather dumb.

Beyond that, Ron Paul is a successful private physician with most of his personal investments in Gold.

In case you hadn't noticed, under the Bush Presidency the international value of the US Dollar has collapsed to amongst the lowest levels in history:

The commensurate increase in the Dollar price of Gold (now at nearly $800 per ounce) has left Dr. Ron Paul as one of the wealthier Congressmen in the House of Representatives.

Perversely, the only way that Dr. Paul would even need some ill-gotten "Retirement Fund" at this time is if he WINS... and his anti-inflationary policies, once enacted, restore the value of the Dollar and reduce the Dollar Price of his Gold investments.

But I think that Dr. Paul would be okay with that.

“Ron Paul has refused the “very generous” congressional pension. So to make this kind of charge against him is rather dumb.”

This brings up a good point. Why does Congress have one retirement plan and the general public has “social security”?

Yet, they won’t allow the gp to privatize their social security funds.
