It would be easy to dismiss him. . .

Ya see, I know Ron Paul has little credibility with lots of people and lots of politicians.  And I often start to wonder what about him I find appealing. And then he goes and says things that make perfect sense. And as near as I can tell, he is the ONLY politician who ever says anything that makes sense.

"It is like they're born-again budget conservatives," Paul said. "Where were we in the past eight years, when we could have done something? And you see our last eight years that has set this situation up. So we can't blame the Democrats for the conditions we have.

"We have to blame both parties and presidents of the last several decades to have generated this huge government."

Paul said that he agrees that the economy needs to be stimulated but that he doesn't think the federal government should be doing it.

"Sure, we want more spending," Paul said. "We need a lot more spending in the economy, but it has to be done by market forces, by individuals, by businesses making proper decisions."
