Representative Paul's primary focus is on the federal level. His plan when put into operation involves general down sizing of bureaucracy through... incorporation of compatible agencies, elimination of entitlement programs that are strictly politically motivated, competing precious metal backed currencies(decentralized banks), the use of our military as originally intended as our defensive force, withdrawal from politically based "world" organizations, elimination of foreign aid & ending our nation building program. These are a but a few of the problems Ron & his administration would be tackling & I realize that many other problems exist, such as government ACCOUNTABILITY. If the American public stands behind representative Paul our sovereignty as a freedom loving nation will be once again, our standard of living would rise consideribly plus the benefit of gaining back so much of our lost PERSONAL freedoms!

Ron Paul understands monetary reform, and the debasement of the American currency. We’ve taken on $7 trillion in debt since the late 1980's. Since 2001, our currency has lost 40% of its value. Do you even know the debt from the war, then the cost to help the vets coming back?
Which is why you get rid of the Federal Reserve. The monies from the fed, after proper monies have been distributed to those under the law what is left, will go to the general fund. His background in economics make another major component of Ron Paul’s platform is getting rid of the “inflation tax.” Under a fiat currency system, the argument goes, the government has an incentive to increase inflation in order to profit from it. I was discussing this with a fellow supporter of Ron Paul (and about the gold standard), albeit with a willing admission that monetary policy since the early 1980s has been very good. Yet, as of this current period in time any money we save already loses 10 percent...there is no reason we should have any inflation, period. Here are some points...
Inflation is done to expand the money supply. Also expanded to increase borrowing. Borrowing must increase to create further debt. Debt must be created to support growth. Growth must be supported by increasing the money supply. The gerbil on the wheel is man working to pay the debt on a dollar he needs to borrow or purchase with. The cycle does not stop.
Practically every dollar in circulation created was via the way of debt. When a borrower takes out a loan only the principal is borrowed but the principal & interest must be repaid. Where does the money for interest originate? It doesn’t. Interest siphons money out of the economy as it is used to pay interest. The more debt created the more interest demanded, which reduces the money supply, which contracts growth, and so on. This is why the mortgage market was a house of cards. The fed, and wall street are nothing more than Ponzi schemes. Thanks for the question.
Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom - VOTE RON PAUL 2008!
