" If Ron Paul had been in power" We'd be in a global depression worse than the Great Depression right now.

'What I do know is that Obama saved this country's ass from going under. We were in a crisis of immense proportions......and we didn't need an extremist bent on destruction. If Ron Paul had been in power, we would have lost many more banks as well as GM and Chrysler. That's the truth' I agree we'd be in depression if the GOP controlled things in 2009-10 though Ron Paul would have made a great Secretary of State maybe starting a move to winding down all these stupid wars and occupations and bases worldwide. Just shutting all this waste and extravagance down would end our budget woes coupled with letting the Bush tax cuts expire once we get back to normal growth patterns. You know.......I've got to tell you..........as much as I hated those wars, I am glad that Obama didn't wind them down faster. Forget the logistics of winding down wars too quickly........the faster he would have gone, the more people who would have been unemployed or underemployed. At least for a couple of years, army families were receiving an income and having a roof over their heads.
