Ron Paul - Economic Stimulus Concerns

Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk Column
January, 28, 2008

This past week in Washington there has been much talk about the economy. It seems by their actions the leadership and the Fed is finally willing to admit we have a problem, and we need to do something about the economic mess we are in. This is a good thing. However, they are still not being honest about the root cause of our impending crisis and want to deal only with symptoms, not the disease.

There are some positive aspects of the highly lauded economic stimulus package that has been negotiated. I am in favor of taxpayers getting some of their money back, however temporary tax cuts and one-time rebates will not “fix” the economy. What we desperately need right now is real deep significant tax cuts that are enabled by big spending cuts and reduction of government waste that is so rampant. Unfortunately, too many in Washington still believe we can spend our way into prosperity, which does not work and never has.

Countries build wealth through robust economic environments, in which jobs are created and businesses can operate at a profit and grow. When taxes bleed away profits and burdensome regulation hamstrings operations, our businesses and our jobs go overseas. The United States must foster a competitive business environment once again.

There are a few ideas out there for economic stimulus that I do support, such as making permanent President Bush’s tax cuts. I have also signed on as one of 49 original cosponsors of the Economic Growth Act of 2008 which will provide actual economic stimulus through private sector tax relief and job-creating business incentives. This plan features

· Full immediate expensing for major business asset investments

· Reducing the top corporate tax rate from 35% to 25% to be aligned with average rates in Europe

· Indexing the capital gains tax for inflation

· Cutting and simplifying the corporate capital gains rate

Enactment of these dramatic tax cuts will free up money so employers can start hiring again. I would like for the unemployed to have the satisfaction of having a job again so the standard of living of the American family will go up. And even more than a one-time miniscule rebate check, I want you to keep more of your own money in the first place.

Sending out checks and cutting interest rates yet again is merely a shot in the arm when in actuality, the economy needs major surgery. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to provide major tax relief to the American people.

Bill Clinton endorses John McCain…sort of

Filed Under National, Republican Party | Leave a Comment

From CNN’s politicalticker blog:

“She and John McCain are very close,” Clinton said. “They always laugh that if they wound up being the nominees of their party, it would be the most civilized election in American history, and they’re afraid they’d put the voters to sleep because they like and respect each other.”

You’ve got to admit that Bill would love to see McCain as Hillary’s opponent, they are more alike than they are different. McCain would be easy prey for the Clinton machine.

Ron Paul Unveils a REAL Economic Stimulus Plan

Four-pronged approach will strengthen the economy by reforming taxes, cutting spending, improving monetary policy and eliminating burdensome regulations

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 24, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA –Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has unveiled a comprehensive economic revitalization package. The four-pronged plan is designed to stem the current economic slide and address the unsound governmental policies that are harming Americans’ pocketbooks.

“Real economic reform must address the underlying reasons for the current economic malaise,” said Ron Paul. “This plan is more than just a band-aid for our economy; it fundamentally reforms four areas where government policies are damaging our national economy. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus, and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity.”

The comprehensive economic revitalization plan is available online at: http://www.RonPaul2008.com/Prosperity.

The four areas that the plan covers are:

1. Tax Reform: Reduce the tax burden and eliminate taxes that punish investment and savings, including job-killing corporate taxes.

2. Spending Reform: Eliminate wasteful spending. Reduce overseas commitments. Freeze all non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels.

3. Monetary Policy Reform: Expand openness with the Federal Reserve and require the Fed to televise its meetings. Return value to our money.

4. Regulatory Reform: Repeal Sarbanes/Oxley regulations that push companies to seek capital outside of US markets. Stop restricting community banks from fostering local economic growth.

Congressman Paul has written or co-sponsored numerous bills to enact the policies in his plan. In Congress, he has been a champion of lower taxes and limited government.

Congressman Paul is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. In Congress, Dr. Paul has never voted for a tax increase or for an unbalanced budget.

Ron Paul and the economy - The Real Economic Doctor vs. Dr. Frankenstein

Filed Under Economics, Federal Reserve, Republican Party, Ron Paul, Taxation | Leave a Comment

Amongst the static of disinformation and smearing that is the mainstream media, it’s refreshing to see that at least some take the issues seriously and the issue that is now taking center stage is the troubled economy.
What has become an epiphany to some is the fact that Ron Paul was warning about coming economic troubles for a long time, usually the lone voice among the presidential candidates both Republican and Democrat. While the others were furthering the company line of an economy that was strong with low inflation, low unemployment and a soaring stock market with no end in sight, Dr. Paul was warning that the artificially induced euphoria caused by FED policies of manipulated interest rates and money printing and the government policies of increased expenditure on warfare and welfare programs was leading to a whopper of a economic hangover. First came the housing bubble with its mortgage mess, then the fact that unemployment and inflation was rising, the dollar was collapsing and then the unsettled stock market.
The politicians, pundits, establishment economists and FED honchos that now have egg on their face are scurrying around promising to avert economic disaster by prescribing the disease as the cure, stimulus packages of artificially low interest rates and corporate and social welfare. So many quacks and only one true doctor.
