Steve's barking at Ron Paul

This is a change I'm actually naming some one. Ok some times I do name names.
I should like Ron Paul, he's has a different idea of how to make the government better.
No I don't mean let the states handle every thing, they are closer to the people and they can give the people what they want and better services. ( This was the pre constitutional thinking and is still held by vast minority of citizens even today).
Now Ron Paul claims to be a free libertarian. At one time I used think I was too. Keep the government off the people back. I go even further, keep big bureaucracies away from making decisions that will effect me. That includes big business, big city government etc. Oh I almost forgot big news organizations like Fox News.
Now that really doesn't sound like me. So who knew I was really an anarchist.
Now Mr. Paul sounds sincere enough, but I don't get why he would take Medicare in his medical practice, after all that's a big government program that interfere with a doctors way of treating patients.  If enough doctors didn't sign on this program would have ended before it started.

Now Congressman Paul stated on the telly that the United State has already defaulted on it's obligation, for it promised to pay it's civil war obligation in gold. He's kind of telling the truth, the government issued green backs or as we know them today as dollar bills with the promise to  pay back in gold. We some times call these gold certificates?
We haven't paid these green back with gold.
Now I seem to recall from my history books that president Roosevelt unilaterally took all the gold from the citizens of the United States
Now Nixon took us off the gold standard all together, our dollars are backed by nothing.
Now the question is did we really default as Ron Paul suggest, or is that really a stretch?
If we missed a payment on our debt it wouldn't be the end of the world, a meteor wouldn't hit the earth nor would the earth collapse from earth quakes , but there would be great hardship, and the possibility of hyper inflation in the United States would greatly be enhanced.

Now I'm not a worrier of the debt that the United States is piling up, for I can eliminate a third of the debt in no time at all. Of cause I don't think that people like congressman Paul would go along with the program. (I've stated how I would eliminate a third of the debt in a previous blog.

Eliminating or weakening the Federal Reserve as Doctor Paul has suggested that is not a good idea, we live in the 21st century and we need a central bank that will push money in case of disaster and burn money if too much money is in the system. (Burn Money)?

My gut feeling is that free libertarians like Ron Paul would have been good in the end of the 19Th century, but for the 21st century;free market isn't working the way it's suppose too .

*  I must be losing it, this isn't much of rant and some of it makes no sense at all.
