Ron Paul talks about real issues we face as a nation in his “State of the Republic”.
(Be sure to get to the last video where he talks about civil unrest, martial law and solutions!)
Here he mentions the “the establishment politicians” which should be noted references both sides of the aisle that put party before people.
Hits the nail on the head here “Some of them concede that it could be a jobless recovery. That will establish a new definition for a recovery.”
And a key point: “Official unemployment is at 10% … Free-market economists claim the actual unemployment rate is closer to 22%”.
Then Doctor Paul questions the wisdom of our monetary policy makers and their faulty thinking which (like in the 30’s) is leading to more big government regulations and less freemarket.

Dr. Paul: “We have lived, as a nation, far beyond our means and the message is, for the foreseeable future, that we will be forced to live beneath our means as this debt is paid.”
This is key: “Welfare demands and senseless wars can be financed for long period of time through inflation, as long as trust in the currency lasts.”
“… The next event will be a dollar crisis. A full-blown dollar crisis will be worse than our current financial crisis.
And: “China is quite active in investing in natural resources around the world, including Iran. While we live in the dark ages and believe only our military presence and military threats can protect our access to oil…”

What happens if the dollar tanks? VERY sobering comments by Dr. Paul…
“The social unrest will elicit cries for government to exert unusual force to head off a complete breakdown of law and order. The ultimate trap will be set for a system of government claiming to protect a free society. If more power and police authority are not given to the federal government, it will be argued that only anarchy will result.”
“… a lethal threat to civil liberties. Already we have permitted the notion that a single person, the Attorney General or President, can decide who is an “enemy combatant”, thus denying that individual the right to habeus corpus, permitting indefinite detentions without charges made. This attitude toward civil liberties has changed significantly since the fear built around 9/11.”
“Yes, I know declaring one an “enemy combatant” is reserved for the radical Muslims engaged in terrorism against the United States. To be reassured by this reasoning is quite dangerous and naïve. Logic should not lead us to equate suspects with terrorists, and include American citizens, and yet this has already been set by precedent. Under difficult circumstances, our political leaders will not be hesitant to use these powers to maintain order. Tragically, the people may even demand it.”
What can be done about it? Must we wait for the inevitable and expect to restore our liberties in a street fight against the overwhelming power of the state? Not a good option!
The GOOD NEWS? Congressman Ron Paul has answers!
“We must immediately:
- Balance the budget by reducing spending
- Change our foreign policy to that of non-intervention
- A full audit and more supervision of the Federal Reserve leading to abolishing the Federal Reserve
- Legalize competition to the Federal Reserve with competing currencies
- Regain respect for civil liberties and privacy while reigning in the CIA
- Wean ourselves off the dependence of wealth transfers by government
- Abolish crony capitalism—no subsidies, no bailouts, no regulatory or tax privileges to protect the powerful elite especially the military industrial complex
- Eliminate the income tax, inheritance tax and taxes on savings and dividends.
“None of this can happen without the restoration of Congress to its dominant position of the three Branches of Government as was originally intended by the Constitution. The Executive and Judicial must be reined in, and Congress must assert its prerogatives over all legislation curtailing all unconstitutional agendae through budgetary controls.”
