The only candidate in 2008 and 2012 who correctly told us of a housing boom and bust. As well as tell us our foreign policy of occupy and invade would make us less safe.
He, nor his son, are the crazy ones here. Wake up.
So Ron Paul was wrong on the Housing Bubble, when he blamed it on Fannie and Freddie, and wrong on the collapse of the dollar.
The troops would be home, the budget would be balanced, taxes would be lower, we'd see millions of jobs created, we'd have fewer people in poverty, we'd have sound money, and our individual liberties would be secured.

The funniest thing about posts like these is that folks speak with such confidence as if they're absolutely certain of everything they're saying. Going on about how different everything would be. You have absolutely no idea what would have happened.
Pass me that crystal ball so I too can look into the alternate universe you're seeing.
Sometimes those crystal balls are cracked I know I looked through a few of them. If Paul was president I doubt he could get a balanced budget. Those big spending conservatives will have none of that when every year they lobby for increased spending to feed the MIC. Paul's ideas would not see the light of day even with a {R} controlled congress. When I hear {R} leaders talk about balanced budgets I know they are full of it and just blowing smoke.

As much as I like Ron Paul and his stated positions, he is and was too much of a politician to get anything he advocated for, except maybe to bring home our troops from military fighting, because congress, both the left and right would have prevented him. Dr. Paul did not have the willingness to go against the Constitution by accomplishing his goals via executive order, so most of it would have never happened.

He didn't blame it on Freddie and Fannie. They were a symptom. In the very short video he blamed it on the easy credit which once again ruined the economy. Congress bypassing the free market in housing.
It was the first thing mentioned by Joe "The special privileges granted Fannie and Freddie.... they could not attract by pure market conditions"

Bringing the troops home would definitely have happened. The president controls troop movements and can bring the troops home at any time.
