Ron Paul Says: “Pay Off The Country’s Mortgage”, Your Thoughts?

Ron Paul has earned his right as being the president of the internet with his obvious popularity amongst the web. His thoughts and ideas provoke many to question him, whilst thousands are backing his every word with reason.
The unfortunate American policy of “tax, borrow and print [money]” is pushing this country into a financial ruin, says U.S. presidential candidate Ron Paul.
Paul quite rightly said that the country’s financial issues, that he described as a crisis, is one of the more significant problems that is concerning many accross the country.
“This country is mortgaged. Our government is mortgaged,” Paul said during a meeting with The Gazette’s Editorial Board.
“The wealth is not there. The only thing they can do is print more money. We’ve lost three million manufacturing jobs. They’re overseas and they’re not coming back,”
“More taxes won’t resolve the financial woes, but stopping foreign aid would help”, he said.
I doubt by that comment that he meant that all foreign aid was a bad idea, but I can see the point he’s trying to get across. If US were to stop aiding other countries and perhaps started aiding their own country, the financial mortgage crisis wouldn’t be as critical as it is right now.
“The way to neutralize this is to send money to nobody,” Paul said.
Interestingly, Paul noted that most American foreign aid never gets to the poor people it’s intended to help, which is a valid and somewhat worrying point. But the government can’t just halt loans, can they?
Ron Paul has expressed his views to country about the war President George Bush tangled up in, in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“I would just come home. We made a mistake. We went in there under false pretenses. It’s sad. It was not worth 3,300 American lives and 25,000 casualties. We need to change course. We’re continuing to do the same thing — send more troops. Just back off. You don’t need any money for that.”
An interesting fact is that George W Bush, the current president of America, has borrowed more money than all the past presidents combined. More on this can be read here.
Dr Paul seems like a very intelligent man, but would his views really benefit the whole of the states? Do you agree with Ron Paul‘s views? Let us know.
