“I am not a follower or fan of Ron Paul, but he might have a valid point here.”
Even if Congress manages to come up with a solution to avert the “fiscal cliff,” a combination of year-end tax increases and spending cuts, it won’t be worth anything because it’ll probably only deal with tax rates and ignore the problem of runaway government spending, or so say Texas Congressman and former presidential candidate Ron Paul.
“I think we have passed that point of no return where we can actually get our house in order,” Rep. Paul said Friday on CNBC. “I believe there is too much bipartisanship on the spending. Nobody is talking about cutting any spending.”
“Republicans and Democrats,” he continued, “they pretend they’re fighting up there, but they really aren’t. They’re arguing over power, spin, and who looks good, and who looks bad, but they’re all trying to preserve this system where they can spend what they want, take care of their friends, and let the Fed print money when they need it.”
However, that’s not to say Rep. Paul doesn’t believe U.S. lawmakers will come up with temporary solutions to things like the “cliff.”
“[It’ll be] sort of like — how many times have they had a ‘solution’ for the Greece crisis? About ten or 15 times?” the congressman asked, referring to the eurozone’s most unstable and financially broken member.
“There’s no admission that they [U.S. lawmakers] have a crisis. They have no admission that the country is bankrupt. There’s no admission that our government is spending way too much and it’s way beyond our means and there’s not a single bit of effort to cut anything,” the congressman continued.
“They are so they so far removed from admitting the seriousness of this crisis and if they don’t admit it, they can’t solve the problem. They’re like a bunch of drug addicts that just want another fix. That’s what they are looking for.”

ps. Ron Paul is a Christian; you may remember him being booed at the South Carolina debate for reciting “the golden rule.” The Media Machine has done everything they could to discredit him.
** For real fun, check his voting record in Congress over the past 30 years. He does what he says, and says what he does. While I do *not* agree with everything, he is honest, and tells you where he stands and why. He doesn’t flip flop.

Thanks I’ll check it out. I know more about his son than I do about him. I tend to turn a deaf ear to politicians at times, but it sounds like I need to give Ron Paul a second look. Thanks again.

If you don’t know much about Ron Paul, I would recommend reading his books “The Revolution” and “End the Fed.” This is the man who should be preparing to move into the oval office. Mitt Romney and the RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) lied, stole, and changed the rules for the Republican Convention to avoid Ron Paul having a chance to be nominated from the floor. for more info: http://www.dailypaul.com
