Ron Paul

I must be losing it, but, aside from his foreign policy stances, Mr. Paul sure seems to be making a bit of sense here and elsewhere in his recent commentary:

But what the Republican leadership didn't realize was that ALL spending is a tax on middle-class Americans through price inflation and that eventually the inevitable consequence is paying for the extravagance with a financial crisis.

Congressman Paul did excite a large minority of young people prior to this year's election. I wonder if the excitement stemmed from his anti-strong defense view or from his views regarding strict interpretation of the Consitution. I'd like to hope it is more the latter than the former.
