Here's some more crazy talk!
When Ron Paul was asked directly by Lawrence Kudlow, 'What would
you do?'
Ron Paul's answer was an indecipherable statement. Paul said he
would let
private companies or banks issue currency and have the private
currencies
compete against the government currency. Ron Paul had jumped the
shark
into the looney bin of libertarian economics.
This is a trillion dollar economy.
Much of Ron Paul's and the libertarian's criticism of the Federal
Reserve
and the need for a gold standard is true, but stating that the
solution to
the Federal Reserve's problems is letting Wal-Mart print Wal-Mart
Bucks is
absurd. Gold standard, yes. Wal-Mart bucks, no.
Lawrence Kudlow and the other panelists are devoted free traders,
so no
mention of China or the balance of trade deficit emerged in the
discussion. Apparently, owing billions to the Chinese, or is it
trillions,
does not affect the value of the dollar.
Now, free trade, balance of payments deficits are abstractions that
are
incomprehensible to the average person. But the price of gas is
not. As
the dollar depreciates, and foreign governments move out of the
dollar,
the price of gas will simply continue to rise. When gas hits $5, $8
per
gallon, the US public will know something is wrong. Ron Paul is
right, the
currency will collapse, but the cause is not inflation and the
Federal
Reserve, it is free trade and the outsourcing of U.S. Jobs. One
would
think that Ron Paul would see that, but libertarianism is an
ideology of
free trade and free markets, that describes how things should be,
not how
things actually are, and how economies actually work.
Lou Dobbs and Pat Buchanan have a better grasp on what is killing
the
American economy: Free Trade.
"Free trade is the serial killer of American manufacturing and the
Trojan
Horse of World Government. It is the primrose path to the loss of
economic
independence and national sovereignty. Free trade is a bright
shining
lie. -- Where the Right Went Wrong, Patrick Buchanan
