The End of Dollar Hegemony:
http://www.house.gov/paul/cong...
"The pressure at home to inflate the currency comes from the corporate welfare recipients, as well as those who demand handouts as compensation for their needs and perceived injuries by others. In both cases personal responsibility for one's actions is rejected."
In the Name of Patriotism (Who are the Patriots?):
http://www.house.gov/paul/cong...
"it is dissent from government policies that defines the true patriot and champion of liberty."
"Faith in government coercion and a lack of understanding of how free societies operate, encourages big government liberals and big government conservatives to manufacture a war psychology to demand political loyalty for domestic policy just as is required in foreign affairs."
Don't Blame the Market for Housing Bubble:
http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/...
"capitalism is not to blame for the housing bubble, the Federal Reserve is. Specifically, Fed intervention in the economy-- through the manipulation of interest rates and the creation of money-- caused the artificial boom in mortgage lending."
Ron Paul at the House Financial Services Committee - Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy October 17, 2007:
http://www.house.gov/paul/cong...
"Mr. Chairman, as you know, I have consistently favored a policy of non-intervention with regard both to foreign affairs and to economic policy. While there may well be problems with the Russian economy in terms of failed privatization, government expropriation of assets, etc., there is no reason that these issues should concern the United States government."
"Our loose monetary policy and stimulation of credit have led to expectations of permanent positive economic growth. The technology bubble and the housing bubble have caused many to believe that markets can only go up. When bubbles burst, when stocks decline, something must have gone awry, and the government is called upon to right the wrong."
