Funny how you have to look to the foreign press for articles like this:
Jan 27, 2008 (LBO) – Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has slammed a US economic stimulus package based on tax-refunds and called for fiscal prudence and less Federal Reserve money printing, which caused the current turmoil in the first place.Talking to Fox News television Paul asked where the money for the tax refunds - the cornerstone of the Bush administration stimulus package - was coming from.
"Where is the money coming from? We don't have any money over here in Washington," Paul told Fox News's Your World with Neil Cavuto.
"We have consumed everything we have gotten. So, we either have to borrow it from China or we print the money, which is inflationary. So, I'm opposed to that."
Paul says the Federal Reserve moves to cut rates would further hurt the US dollar. Paul, a congressmen representing Texas, is also on the House Financial Services Committee and Join Economic Committee and is a strong advocate of sound monetary policy.
(To be fair, they are reporting on a Fox News interview with Neil Cavuto.)
