<p>That’s called Say’s Law and it’s a minority opinion, not a consensus opinion.</p>
<p>I don’t get how people can still laugh at Ron Paul and the free-marketeers. Before this recession, it made a tiny bit of sense from their perspective, but now that everything they’ve said has come true, shouldn’t we take a second look at what they’re saying?</p>
<p>note: mainstream republicans aren’t capitalists.</p>
<p>because while bush & co were deregulating everything, paul & co were shouting that there’s too much regulation.</p>
<p>"mainstream republicans aren’t capitalists. "</p>
<p>what?</p>
<p>
First of all, I disagree that bush was deregulating everything. Second, that doesn’t answer my question. Weren’t Paul and Schiff and Rogers right all along? How do you explain the fact that they predicted this recession/soon to be depression with such accuracy?
On those primary debates, I’ve never heard a republican or democrat (besides Paul) talk about the federal reserve or our fiat currency. They reduce the issue to lowering taxes and health care when there’s so much more to it than that. All they’re doing is appealing to their constituents. I don’t believe that they’re inspired by any sort of ideals or understanding of free markets. They say what the voters want to hear, in general.</p>
<p>2012 is so far away, the economy will be so different, maybe when that time comes you should discuss whether his policies will be effective or not. </p>
<p>Ron Paul supporters do you really think he has a chance? not many will want an 80 yr old president, most republicans don’t like him and will most likely choose someone else as their candidate. You’re just setting yourself up for disappointment. </p>

<p>Go Obama, yeah I know it’s really early but why not? everyone else seems to be doing it.</p>
<p>LogicWarrior,</p>
<p>Sweet, I knew that had to be a law. Just because it’s a minority opinion doesn’t mean it is wrong.</p>
<p>Unleashed Fury, I couldn’t agree with you more on most republicans having little knowledge about economics. I don’t believe they say what voters want to hear, though. I think they say what voters can understand.</p>
<p>And under the Bush presidency, the market was hardly “free functioning”. Greenspan made sure of that.</p>
