Ron Paul wants to put hundreds of thousands more out of work by eliminating government redundancies. I applaud his vision because it's exactly what is needed, it's just 30 years too late and will never be allowed to happen by those that truly run the United States. They have far too much too lose. It's also completely unsustainable to send them to the already massive unemployment line. But the United States already screwed themselves by running the national and global economy into ruins with their lending Ponzi scheme so the current status quo will fail them as well.
Who is President is no longer relevant. There is no saving what greed has done to that country. Sadly, the entire world is going to suffer the fallout.

I think you have a very good point.
What I find very disturbing is that there seems to be something much more sinister going on than simply bad politicians and bad policies. When one steps back and examines what has been going on in the US and Europe there has been a systematic weakening of individual states and sovereignty in the past few decades. The economies of these countries (including Canada) has been systematically de-industrialized on one hand and systematically over-financialized on the other. The international banking consortiums have usurped the power of the states for their own benefit (ie. engineering of too big to fail banks = guaranteed massive profits from bailouts & the bankrupting of states). It seems as if the plan is to bankrupt all nation states (the US, Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina are already effectively bankrupt) and then the systematic erosion of national soverignty. I know many people will think this is too conspiratorial but look at what is happening in Europe right now, the EU is now imposing austerity measures on Greece against her will (and soon to Spain, Portugal, & Italy) [this is why there are massive protests going on in Greece] and Britain has been the only country to call the EU out on this and refused to hand over their right as a sovereign nation to handle their own internal affairs, though I suspect the UK will be usurped soon as well. (the moment the ex-PM of Greece tried to hold a referendum, he was immediately replaced by an un-elected EU technocrat, the same thing has happened in Italy) I think the ultimate goal of the international bankers is to bankrupt enough states as to be able to create a new reserve currency to be issued by a new "global federal reserve." The goal of this new world bank/reserve currency is to usurp the powers (what's left of it anyway) of individual sovereign states and to have ultimate control of the resources (natural/political/human) of said states.
