Texas Straight Talk ~ A Weekly Column
Congressman Ron Paul New Every Monday at http://www.house.gov/paul or phone 1-888-322-1414 for recorded message. January 19, 2009: "Strengthening or Weakening the Economy?" "Freedom is our strength, government is our weakness." The economic situation continues to deteriorate this week as past and future bailouts were discussed on Capitol Hill. The debate was over the accountability of already disbursed TARP money, and on whether or not to release remaining funds. Banks that had already been bailed out before are looking for more money to fill the black holes that are their balance sheets, warning that they are simply too big to fail. However, whatever ‘devastating’ consequences these banks are dreaming up and pushing on Capitol Hill regarding their own collapse will be nothing compared to the collapse of our currency if … Complete Article: http://www.house.gov/htbin/blog_inc?...ngdetail.shtml Last edited by peaceandlove; 01-26-2009 at 10:48 PM. |

Texas Straight Talk ~ A Weekly Column
Congressman Ron Paul New Every Monday at http://www.house.gov/paul or phone 1-888-322-1414 for recorded message. NOW available in audio at: http://www.house.gov/paul January 26, 2009: "Stimulus for Who?" This week the House is expected to pass an $825 billion economic stimulus package. In reality, this bill is just an escalation of a government-created economic mess. As before, a sense of urgency and impending doom is being used to extract mountains of money from Congress with minimal debate. So much for change. This is déjà vu. We are again being promised that its passage will help employment, help homeowners, help the environment, etc. These promises are worthless. This time around especially, Congress should know better than to pass anything of this magnitude without first reading the fine print. There a many red flags that I have found in this bill. At least $4 billion is allocated to expanding the police state and the war on drugs through Byrne grants, which even the Bush administration opposed, and the COPS program, both of which are corrupt and largely ineffective programs. To help Big Brother keep a better eye on us and our children, $20 billion would go towards health information technology, which would create a national system of electronic medical records without adequate privacy protection. These records would instead be subject to the misnamed federal “medical privacy” rule, which allows government and state-favored special interests to see medical records at will. An additional $250 million is allocated for states to nationalize individual student data, expanding Federal control of education and eroding privacy. $79 billion bails out states that haphazardly expanded their budgets during the bubble years, but refuse to retrench and cut back, as their taxpayers have had to, during recession years.

NOW available in audio at: http://www.house.gov/paul February 02, 2009: "Cures for Our Economic Disease" "the best cure for a recession is a recession" I have recently had several opportunities on various news programs to discuss the economy and what is wrong with the so-called economic stimulus package. I have said over and over what we shouldn’t be doing, and now I’d like to explain what we should be doing. But to improve the situation, you must first have a solid grasp of how we got here. Government policies and central planning created the housing bubble, now going bust. About a decade ago the government made expanded homeownership and affordable housing a public goal. Through Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the secondary mortgage market the government incentivized creative, low down-payment, more widely available mortgage products, and discouraged the market-proven lending standards of the past. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates artificially low, which added more fuel to this fire.

NOW available in audio at: http://www.house.gov/paul February 09, 2009: "Freedom From Government" "Money is the Trojan horse that government uses to infiltrate and infect organizations." President Obama signed an executive order last week continuing the faith-based initiatives program created by former President Bush. When the program was created, I warned that giving taxpayer money to private religious organizations would eventually lead to political control and manipulation of them. This week has provided some evidence that this was a justified concern. The logic behind funding faith-based initiatives seemed reasonable to some. Private organizations are much more effective in charitable endeavors than government programs and bureaucracies. Therefore, why not “outsource” some of the government’s welfare-state activities to these worthy organizations? This appealed to many conservatives, especially … Article continues: http://www.house.gov/htbin/blog_inc?...ngdetail.shtml Last edited by peaceandlove; 02-17-2009 at 06:20 AM. |

Much has been made by the new administration of the idea of national service and volunteerism. While service to one’s community is certainly admirable, it is not the federal government’s place to “encourage” or promote volunteerism. Moreover, there are troubling signs that national service could transition from voluntary to mandatory, or de facto mandatory, such as the requirement of service in order to be granted a diploma, or something along those lines. Involuntary servitude was supposed to be abolished by the 13th Amendment, but things like Selective Service and the income tax make me wonder how serious we really … Article Continues Here: http://www.house.gov/htbin/blog_inc?...ngdetail.shtml Last edited by peaceandlove; 02-23-2009 at 08:14 PM. |

This week the Federal Reserve responded to the American people’s increased concerns over our monetary policy by presenting new initiatives aimed at enhancing the Fed’s transparency and accountability. As someone who has called for more openness from the Fed for over 30 years, I was pleased to see the Fed acknowledge the legitimacy of this need. The Federal Reserve controls the flow of money and credit in our economy because Congress has abdicated its responsibility over the nation’s currency. This process therefore occurs centrally, and almost completely outside the system of checks and balances. Because of legal tender laws, … Article continues: http://www.house.gov/htbin/blog_inc?...ngdetail.shtml Last edited by peaceandlove; 03-03-2009 at 08:45 AM. |

More wise information from the wise economist, who happens to be associated with the Hijacked Republican Party by default, not by choice, Ron Paul.
I almost forgot to post his weekly 'Texas Straight Talk' with all this talk about politics. Ron Paul does not appear as a politician to me, but as a realist, an economist, and a wiser man than most. In a recent conversation with Giovonni he called him, "The Anti-Politician"; that resonates with me. The weary warrior, Dr. Paul, sounds soooo tired on the Audio. He has given speeches this last week at CPAC: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/bl...ew=12135&cpg=1 and in Austin at the Liberty Banquet 2/28/2009: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/bl...ew=12328&cpg=1 and all the TV and radio interviews: CNN American Morning 3/2/2009 http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=12299 Live from CPAC: CNN Interview 2/27/2009 http://www.campaignforliberty.com/bl...ew=12101&cpg=1 And on Washington Unplugged 2/27/2009: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/bl...ew=12099&cpg=1 Texas Straight Talk ~ A Weekly Column Congressman Ron Paul New Every Monday at http://www.house.gov/paul or phone 1-888-322-1414 for recorded message. NOW available in audio at: http://www.house.gov/paul March 02, 2009: "Is Spending the Answer?" This week, Congress and the administration once again showed their lack of economic understanding, as they ramped up spending to record levels. On the surface, maybe it does look to some like the economic crisis is a liquidity problem, that the economy is in trouble because money is not changing hands at the pace it once did in the boom years. They believe that to get back to a booming economy money needs to start changing hands again – and the quickest way to do this is for the federal government to massively expand spending to pump new money … Article continues: http://www.house.gov/htbin/blog_inc?...ngdetail.shtml Last edited by peaceandlove; 03-10-2009 at 08:13 AM. |

NOW available in audio at: http://www.house.gov/paul March 16, 2009: "Earmarks Don't Add Up" Earmarks seem to be the hot topic this week, and as a fiscal conservative I am dismayed so many people deliberately distort the earmarking process and grandstand to make political points. It is an easy thing to do with earmarks. It takes a little more time and patience to grasp the reality of what earmarks really are. To be sure, if earmarks were the driving force behind explosive government spending as some have been led to believe, that would be a good reason for all the fuss.

Quote:
Small government conservatives may be ready to reduce the number of earmarks in a spending bill, but are they ready to reconsider our $1 trillion foreign policy? Or all of the money spent enforcing anti-civil liberties legislation like the Patriot Act? Or the destruction of our dollar by an out of control Federal Reserve?

The argument is over a relative drop in the bucket. The total amount of bonuses given out was $165 million. The government has put $170 billion into AIG so far.

It is approaching the fever pitch of a full blown crisis. Unfortunately, the administration is not likely to waste this opportunity to further expand government. Hopefully, we can take a deep breath and look at history for the optimal way to deal with this dangerous situation, which is not unprecedented.

I voted against it, and was pleased to see that not a single Republican representative voted for it. Legislators often see bipartisanship as constructive, but I disagree especially where the destruction of our economy or our liberty is concerned. There has been too much bipartisan consensus on expanding government far beyond the bounds of the Constitution which we all swore to defend and uphold.

It is a good time to contemplate the effects of big government and what it does to our country. The income tax is one of the most egregious encroachments on our liberties today.

He did not call for Texas to secede from the United States. He merely pointed out that the federal government was treading heavily on the sovereignty of the states and that this can not continue indefinitely without a breaking point.

While the American people should be made aware of infectious diseases and common sense preventative measures, much of the hysterical reaction from government only serves to remind us how detrimental to your health it can be when government plays doctor.
