Ron Paul is too fundamentally decent to ever stoop to the tactics that stopped his presidential run. From Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. at lewrockwell.com:
After the presidential “debate,” some people argued like this: We can’t support Biden. He is obviously brain dead. Besides, we couldn’t support this dangerous left-winger anyway. We’re stuck with Trump, like him or not. At least, he’s better on some issues. But we shouldn’t think like this. Both Trump and Biden are bad, but there is one person who has all the right policies, from a libertarian point of view. This person is our greatest living American, Dr. Ron Paul. In what follows, I’ll explain why Biden and Trump are both deficient and why Ron Paul is stellar.
First, let’s look at the obvious. Biden is indeed “cognitively impaired,” to say the least. This stumblebum is unfit to be dogcatcher, let alone president. But Trump also made many absurd remarks that show his mental acuity to be in serious question. For example, he said that Putin would never have taken action against Ukraine if he had been president. Does he think that Putin is afraid of him? He is suffering from delusions of grandeur, if he does. There can be no doubt, though, about Ron Paul. He is scintillatingly acute mentally. You have only to listen to his weekly podcast to know this.
Now, let’s look at some of the issues. How do the candidates propose to deal with inflation and our flawed monetary system? Trump boasts about the low rate of inflation when he was president, even though it was rising. He has criticized the Fed but just because it isn’t under his direct control. He wants interest rates to be low and is unware of the way that expansion of bank credit inevitably causes hyperinflation or depression. Biden wants to keep the Fed the way it is but also likes artificially low interest rates.
Of course, “End the Fed” is Ron Paul’s signature issue. He galvanized American youth with this slogan years ago, and it has continued to resonate with them. He follows the economic theory of the great Murray Rothbard, his guide in all matters economic.
