Ron Paul

[cottonpicken]

Austerity is coming one way or another. The trick
is to think about what governments policies will
be.

If they back off and allow a more normal market
function we are going into a deflationary death
spiral.

Or they can carry on with what their doing which
is stepping in manipulating and controlling and
taxing and regulating and bailing out and
purchasing ever increasing amounts of bonds to
keep the wheels on until their term in office is up
which takes us straight into an inflationary death
spiral.

The fact that even Alberta......Alberta can't
balance and refuses to balance shows the very
clearly in my mind which path we are on and have
always been on.

The main reason why someone like Ron Paul could not win an election today is that most Americans, like Canadians and Europeans and citizens of many countries around the world, value their government entitlements more than their freedom or their ability to progress economically. Despite the catastrophe enveloping Europe, no political leader there wants to challenge the welfare state mentality in a significant way. They would rather watch their economies run into the ground than admit that government entitlements have become outrageously expensive and unsustainable. Political circles on this side of the Atlantic are dominated by much the same thinking. All that's different is the timeline by which this disastrous situation unfolds.

They have a debt to income ratio of 7:1. Current
debt to taxable income, with no plan or solution to
fix. Only solution at this time is QE3, print more
money
