<p>How do the economic stimulus packages of the various candidates compare?</p>
<p>Here’s Ron Paul’s that just got unveiled:</p>
<p>[Ron</a> Paul 2008: Ron Paul Unveils a REAL Economic Stimulus Plan](<a href=“http://ronpaul2008.typepad.com/ron_paul_2008/2008/01/ron-paul-unveil.html]Ron”>http://ronpaul2008.typepad.com/ron_paul_2008/2008/01/ron-paul-unveil.html)</p>
<p>Let the debates begin. ;)</p>
<p>Wow. I used to think I liked Ron Paul’s economic ideas. Now I find out I don’t like his economic ideas.</p>
<p>There are so many ideas I don’t like I don’t know where to start.</p>
<p>don’t waste your time reading Ron Paul’s economic ideas. He is a fine man but his politics and policys are nuts…</p>
<p>I find that on economic matters, many Republicans are closer to being Democratic than being a Goldwater Republican.</p>
<p>I agree. Ron Paul’s known to be a ‘Goldwater Republican’ and is endorsed by Barry Goldwater, Jr. </p>
<p>Some of you are dismissing his economic plan (did you read the whole thing, on the 2nd link?) but you haven’t offered an alternative…</p>
<p>Whose economic plan do you support, and why?</p>
<p>Laissez-faire–let it be. I believe purely in Adam Smith and laissez-faire is the way to go. We’ll get out of this mess sooner or later. Or maybe you guys are just worried about your mortgages and stocks. I simply invested in gold and now my net worth increased by a great margin.</p>

How true it was when Huxley wrote: That men do not learn very much from the lessons of History is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach.</p>
<p>Some of you are dismissing his economic plan (did you read the whole thing, on the 2nd link?) but you haven’t offered an alternative…</p>
<p>All you need to know is that he is for the USA to return to the gold standard to know the policy is nuts .how much more do you think a person needs to know to know that his economic plan is nuts </p>
<p>Oh? And just WHY is it nuts?</p>
<p>Oh? And just WHY is it nuts?..</p>
<p>It won’t work…and don’t get all excited and demand that I prove it won’t work…instead you show how the gold standared will work in todays world…</p>
<p>FDR went on the Gold Standard to stabilise the nation economy. Nixon went off the Gold Standard.</p>
<p>

<p>Not asking for proof. But a brief explanation as to why you are so sure (rather than just parroting what you’ve heard the media say) would be nice.</p>
<p>Perhaps some education on the Federal Reserve is in order…</p>

<p>US bonds and dollars are all over the world. We go on the gold standard, people trade those bonds and dollars in for gold. All of the gold flows out of US, now we have a gold standard but no gold.</p>
<p>Why would ALL of the gold flow out of the US? What about all the bonds and dollars owned by Americans?</p>
