Before the Sky Is Falling

Before the US House of Representatives on Wednesday, March 12, Ron Paul issued two vital warnings:

(1) Congress must stop treating Iraq War expenditures as "off-budget emergency" costs (fact: military expenditures are "earmarks");

(2) Congress must resume its constitutional authority to protect and preserve the Republic, at the same time rejecting "the notion that we need to run an empire."

Failure to heed those warnings, he said, will result in a worldwide economic crisis. At least, that's my take on this refreshing delivery.
