If ron paul is elected as president will it already be too late?

Question

the dollar continues its decline at a faster pace - china is now looking to diversify by buying other bonds /currency- inflation is on its way globally according to the world bank- oil prices are at record levels and are expected to continue - the subprime fallout is still seeing losses even with the fed lowering rates and with inflation coming they cant hold on for long -and the next fallout for americans could be credit cards -are all the things ron paul has been predicting happening right before our eyes and will it be too late to fix if he gets in office?

well it is not hard to balance a budget without a deficit - it is actually the 2 things he would be able to do as president very easily being that the budget must go thru the president for approval as per the constitution - and as a congressman he has never voted for deficit spending or unbalanced budgets in 20 years -so no its not magic its constitutional and the right thing to do

Answer 1

Sadly, it very well may be. And it is just as much the republicans' faults as it is the democrats'. They did not do anything to stop it, and putting Guiliani (who would have been considered a democrat 20 years ago) as their front man in the election doesnt do anything to help the problem.

Ron Paul is very wise, though, and he has the numbers to back up his statements. He is more of an economist than a politician, thus he has the facts to back up what he is saying. I think it is him and only him who will be able to reverse the doom we are headed for. And he is the only one who could beat Hillary, for all the other GOP candidates dont seem to know where they stand. It is too late for any of the other candidates to do anything about this, but Ron Paul could possibly be the guy to redeem America.

Ron Paul in '08!!!

Answer 2

I do not see Ron Paul being elected, but it is never too late for change...remember, we the people are America and as long as we have a voice and a vote, things can change.

Answer 3

Why does everyone like Ron Paul so much?

Answer 4

The person who has least chances of election will make outrageous promises. I suggest u convass a tax ( promise tax) be imposed on politicians money value of promise.
Dollar is declining bcuz US has lived on the earlier momentum of inertia and confidence built over the earlier yrs. Every thing has erosion and depreciation . Us has overmined the accummulated confidence other economies

Answer 6

It's not too late.

But as you can see from the smartas$ remarks most of the neo-convict and demo-rat supporters don't see a problem.

They can blame themselves when they vote for anybody but Ron Paul.

I'm voting for fiscal common-sense, I won't be to blame.

Answer 7

With a 2% rating, I wouldn't hold my breathe if I were you.

Answer 8

Yep...did you ever wonder how one person can do all that he's promised in four short years? with all the opposition he's bound to encounter, he'd have to be a magician!

Answer 9

Edited a second time to say:

Man, I must have pissed some people off. What's the matter, my points hitting a bit close to home for those who hit me with thumbs down?
----------------------------
Quite a few thoughts popped into my mind when I read this, so let's go through them...

1. Right now I think we're starting a down period, something we haven't truly seen (though we've had a few recessions) since the Carter administration in the mid to late-70s. We'll get out of it, eventually, but it might require a definite restructuring of the way people think (ie: you are NOT entitled to a $250,000 home, no matter what you may believe in your mind).

2. While he's my favorite candidate, Ron Paul has NO CHANCE of getting into office. While the majority of Americans don't fit into either party (since the parties have been hijacked by the far left and right leaning members), they seem too afraid to actually do any research and find third-party candidates whose views might fit theirs better. That's the problem with Americans -- we feel it's our RIGHT to vote, neglecting that RESPONSIBILITY goes along with it. The responsibility to know who you're voting for, the responsibility to do extensive research and the responsibility to keep up with current events. It's so nice to say we have the right to vote, show up at the polling place, grumble about waiting in line and vote down the line... it's also nice when Democrats pick up retirees at nursing homes, shuttle them to the voting booths and tell them "if you don't vote democrat, you'll be turned out in the street and they'll take away your social security." A while ago, during local elections, someone asked me who I was voting for in one of council races... I told him I wasn't since I didn't know the candidates and didn't really have time to do the research necessary to make a good decision. He proceeded to get up on his high horse and tell me I should "vote for someone." Isn't that just the problem? So many people go to voting booths and click a name because of the R or D next to it. They listen to advertisements on the radio (don't vote for Amendment 120 because they'll take medicare funding away and give it to rich people...), they listen to an idiotic co-worker, or they'll simply vote down the party line without taking a moment to think about WHO they are voting for or WHAT they believe in.

3. Both of those things being said, yes, it is too late. We, as a society, have forgotten that we have a civic duty to this country. We try and twist out of jury duty, we find small loopholes to justify breaking the law and we ardently refuse to keep up with current events or do any research before voting. We're a disposable society where nothing has meaning anymore (take, for example, my friend's daughter who has had five cellphones in the past year because her silly father keeps buying them for her when she breaks them, loses them or drops them into water). We can keep repeating over and over to ourselves that we can make a difference but unless there's some radical shift in society, things will never change. That's just not the way human beings work. In order for there to be change there would have to be a massive public revolt... a surge in reading newspapers, a massive increase in critical thinking and the will to research the best candidates... there would have to be the demise of an antiquated two-party system that divides rather than unites. Not only would more Americans need to go to the polls to vote, more Americans would need to vote INFORMED. Our public education system would have to be revised to help children learn what duty we have to keep our republic going (not a democracy, bad).

Now stop and take a second and think... will that ever happen? Ever? We can't even convince people that enough scientific evidence supports both evolution AND the fact that man-made greenhouse gases are speeding up the Earth's natural warming cycle. If we can't convince people that both of those are not just possible, but highly probable, what makes you think we'll be able to tear them away from mind-numbing tv and McDonalds to get them to perform their civic duty to America?

One last thing... I fervently believe that anyone seeking public office should be banned from running -- especially for the office of President. Anyone who wants to become a politician is inherently corrupt, power-hungry and manipulative. The only people who would actually benefit Americans by being elected are the people who go "Run for office? Me? Are you nuts?" Since those people will never run, you'll be stuck voting for egomaniacs that can be bought for the right price.

Edited to say... While writing this I started thinking of two quotes that I wanted to get the wording correct on...

The first is by Alexander Tyler: "A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury."

The second by Alexis de Tocqueville: "The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money"

There you have it. The deficit will never be erased and the budget never balanced because we've become the exact entitlement society eluded to in these quotes. We've become an entire nation of "rob Peter to pay Paul" with our favorite candidates offering us the most money out of the kittie (think about the bridge to nowhere in Alaska). We've had a long way to get to this point and it'll be even longer if we hope to dig ourselves out of it. Politicians are entitled to their (our) money and gosh darn it, they'll find ways to spend it.

Instead of trying to develop true ecologically-friendly, less expensive forms of fuel... let's go to war. Instead of trying to preserve our country's national treasures like the Everglades, lets outfit Podunk, Iowa with the latest and greatest defenses against terrorism like biosuits and night vision goggles (cause... you know, those cows out in Podunk... they're emitting greenhouse gases and you need those night vision goggles to go cow-tipping). Instead of cutting the pork out of the budget, let's justify why we have it in there in the first place and defend it to the last breath.
