I quoted an actual Ron Paul quote. My name calling was based on that as well as many of his other ridiculous ideas. The private sector is what lead us into the current financial disaster. If you actually think they give a shti about education or doing anything effieciently your a fool.
No you didn't , you posted a link, and named-called with zero argument or evidence to back it up. And as for the comment about the private sector leading us into the current disaster...way off. Much of the responsibility lies with Fannie Mae, which was hybrid public-private.
ANd what accountability does the financial sector have??? You must've slep through the last 4 years. Government officials are accountable to voters, the private sector NOBODY. Ron Paul and his delusional ideas will never go anywhere.
Who is the FED accountable to???
Who owns the FED, the FED is privately owned, nothing "federal"' about them...
Who wants to end the FED???
So why do you disagree with Ron Paul???
The constitution is delusional and bad, what would work better???
Some would say The Communist manifesto, but I disagree...
Really, the government at the time was totally deregulated and look what your beloved private sector did..They had their shot and failed. You don't entrust people who's sole purpose is to make profits with things like education. Ron Paul is an old idiot.

Are you a Perry man?
Deep down, I feel the entire republican field is a joke. Paul is impractical and Perry is a buffon.

You've yet to be specific about what ideas you claim are delusional and offer facts as to why they won't work. Why is that? Ron Paul's ideas will go further to hold the federal government accountable than any other candidate out there, including Obama. He will take away that power which they have usurped and abused because it is beyond the scope of those powers enumerated by the US Constitution. Or, could it be that you actually want higher tuition costs?

It was not completely deregulated. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the FHA, they all had mandates to get unreasonably high levels of low income citizens into houses. Combine that with the Fed's artificially low interest rates, you get a housing bubble.

LOL..So much of the blame lies half with the private sector and half public so lets give it all to the private? WTF are u talking about? BOA, Citibank, L. Bro's amongst others were responsible for the collapse.
Really, the government at the time was totally deregulated and look what your beloved private sector did..They had their shot and failed.
But your beloved government on the other hand... oh wait, they're in bed together.

We're not talking about education. We're talking about loans. It really doesn't matter what those loans are for in the context of efficiency. Do you know what competition is? Moreover, are you capable of abstract thought?
