i totally agree with ron paul. but he won't be heard in the usa.
today, usa is in such an economic shape that ending the shameful neo-colonialist empire, dropipng the huge war machinery, huge industrial involvement in everything from the construction of 1000 bases to staffing them and producing ammo, would cause a social catastrophe. not because of people's views of foreign policy – no! essentialy, an informed public opinion does not even exiest, maybe in other matters but not on foreign lands which americans know precious little about. it will be because not 1 in 5 like now, but 1 in 3 or 4 americans will be jobless, and it is because not 1 in 8 like now, but 1 in 5 will have to survive on food stamps. at that point, food riots may start.
nothing to worry about – at least not in the next 7 years of barack w. bush, the next war president.
the times when, truthfully or not, JFK could step in front of the microphone and state: our country is not seeking world domination through the force of arms, our country is never going to attack anybody first, are long gone.
still, the hegemony of usa, after 20 years of bloody, unnecessary wars (with the weakest countries on earth, of course! ), will be history. there will be no more money for wars and america will reinvent itself to hopefully again export things other than aggression.

The hideous truth is that this empty suit-person almost single handedly took the reform out of health care reform, has introduced and somehow passed more legislation to abet the cornucopia of crime that is our banking system than anyone else in congress, and has stalled the funding of any, if not all, modern programs that would give financial lifeboats of one kind or another to families in need. He did it by pretending he was a Democrat and by hanging in there long enough to get appointed, almost by default, as chair of the banking committee. And he gets elected in a state with the fourth lowest per capita income in the country by consistently “bringing home the pork.â€
Billings needs a baseball field? That’s no problem for Max. Stick it on the nearest bill, regardless of relevance. Missoula wants a biking path? Easy as spitting. But you poor souls who are being screwed by the credit card company that got you so deeply in debt and then raised your interest rates so high that you had to sell your house to make the payments? Tough titty.
Max voted against a ceiling on credit card interest rates. You’re going bankrupt and about to lose your house because you got laid off and missed two payments, you deadbeat you? Max voted against allowing bankruptcy judges the leeway to lower interest rates or principle on mortgages in a way that would allow families to stay in their homes.
Can’t afford health insurance at today’s exorbitant rates? Max devised a plan whereby if you DON’T buy from one of the existing health insurance companies who trade your health for their profits you will get smacked with a whopping fine by the IRS, and they get to charge you whatever the hell they please. Hey, it’s your own fault; you should better manage your money.
There is a massive change underway in the mobile media market as it becomes unshackled from the operators’ portals that have dominated it for a decade, all without having made any significant inroads into the content use of mobile users. The new capped data packages, fuelled by further competition, will see a total revamp of the mobile media market. It will no longer be based on portals but on direct services by content and services providers via open source phones and mobile-friendly Internet-based services. The next step is the continued emergence of m-commerce and in particular m-payment services.

I am all for bringing our troops home. We are in such an economic mess here. We need to correct the problems with the economy and get jobs for the unemployed. http://www.signsofcerebralpalsy.org
I respect Ron but war will always be with us…it's a FACT. It would be worse for the economy if we got hit again like 9/11 or worse. That is a fact as well. Let's finish the job and leave. But we need to make sure America is safe always.
Let them come home to be with their families. Why can't we achieve that peace? All we need to do is to do what is right. PEACE is RIGHT! Sprinkler Fitter

I'm beginning to think that "bringing the troops home" might not be such a good idea after all, especially after reading this.

Mr. Paul is right on the wars, right on the economy and right about ending the FED. I just wish there were 434 more like him in the Congress.
