None of them has talked about sound monetary policies simply because most of them do not really have a good understanding of economics since they are mostly politicians who take positions on relatively easy topics for them to discuss such the war on Irak, terrorism, or abortion.
Also, the fact that most Americans do not talk about it led politicians to believe that there's not any real interest on the subject.
Personally, I support Ron Paul's stances on this and other topics. His willingness and ability to discuss these topics are major plus for him.

The mainstream media is part of the over all plan to get rid of Ron Paul but he keeps bugging them with all kinds of things like the amount of funds he keeps bringing in for his run.
I am so glad to see someone else is looking at Ron Paul Archives and what he has to say....watch his interview videos as well...if more people learn of this and what Ron Paul stands for the more likely he will become the first president in a long time with a knowledge of what it takes to run the central government of the USA.

Ok you can't have it both ways. if you want American manufacture you have to make imports more expensive. There are only two ways to do this one is tariffs the other is to devalue the dollar. Now tariffs mean that other countries will not want to ship their goods here and will be less willing to accept ours. A lower value dollar insures that our goods are cheaper. With the higher prices manufacture at home will be more appealing to businesses and so more jobs and more exports. The buying potential of the dollar while lower will be spread out because less will be going over seas.
Economics is a very complicated affair and is never black and white. A high value dollar means our exports are expensive so the labor costs must be reduced. Higher volume of manufacture can not be sustained because the price limits the market.
Your man may be a good OB though if he had been he would have stayed in the field. What he is not is an economist.
They likely have not because it is better to have people think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Whoever wrote the article does not know what they are talking about.
"Simply put, printing money to pay for federal spending dilutes the value of the dollar, which causes higher prices for goods and services"
The government DOES NOT print money to pay for federal spending. The money supply is controlled (or rather influenced) by the Federal Reserve Board. The Fed is very independent of both Congress and the President by design.
"Borrowing money to cut the deficit is only marginally better than raising taxes"
The deficit is borrowing. When there is a shortfall between tax revenues and speding (all the time), the treasury sells bonds (IOU's) to anyone who will buy them. The interest rates on those bonds are set by the market.
Inflation is bad for the country and the economy but calling it a tax is just confusing. It is not a tax.

Have any other candidates been on television trying to defend themselves about Pork Barrell legislation, while practicing it full time in his own state.
I been telling you kiddies about him. It gets proven every day.
Paul: I want to keep government out of our lives, just give us the money and the boondoggles in our state and leave us to live in our little OZ.
Go ahead kiddies, make us all laugh at your lame defense.

That is a weird definition of a tax, in your link. No one else views it that way so NO they are not talking about monetary policy under a cute nickname.
