Some may say that Ron Paul is crazy. Is he really though? I don't know, but he does speak his mind and is not afraid to say something that may make him look bad to some. I don't think his idea really is to get people to like him. Which may have something to do with why he didn't win the primary election. But his outspoken mind is something that I believe should be applauded. I think the place where people usually say something that can cause a negative reaction is usually on blogs, the Internet, and on youtube. It's not something you really see on Capitol Hill.
I found a great video showing exactly what I am saying. He is not afraid to speak his mind at all. Check it out...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv6rQ0U01Yc . In this video, Ron Paul critiques and questions Chairman of the Federal Reserve System, Ben Bernanke. Ron describes that we have run into a problem (the U.S.), and that our lack of understanding of the Great Depression of the 30's is one reason for our economic crises. He claims that there was excessive credit, and bad investments in the 20's that led to the depression. The problem stems from price fixing, which over time and in different economies has proven to be unsuccessful. When you price fix you become Socialistic, and history has shown us that Socialism does not work. He also says that the prices should come down, because that is what the market says it should do. He estimates that there is probably only 15% of Americans that care about the constitution, and even less in Washington. His ending line is, "we can't end inflation with more inflation."
Ron Paul, is he crazy? Maybe. Smart? Definitely
