Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

When Ron Paul Is Right, He’s Right

by @ 2:03 pm on September 28, 2008.

I’ve been fairly critical of Ron Paul’s political instincts, especially his recent decision to endorse Chuck Baldwin for President, but when it comes to the impending Paulson-Bernake bailout, he’s one of the few voices in Congress talking about what’s really at stake.

Here’s video from the Joint Economic Committee hearing late last week:

And here he is on Fox with Neil Cavuto:

The consequences of this bailout are something that nobody is talking about, but which we’ll all have to deal with. For all his faults, Ron Paul is one of the few people on Capitol Hill talking about the consequences of this bailout over the long-term.

    Agreed, as crazy as he can be, at least he seems to know the economy most of the time.

    Doug,

    I doubt Ron Pau has lost any sleep regarding your views and for that matter neither have I.

  3. Doug Mataconis Says:

    Darel,

    That’s fine, because I don’t lose any sleep thinking about what either you or Ron Paul thinks about me.

    Have a nice life
