Yesterday I was wondering what Ron Paul had to say about the vote. I’m sure he, like the rest of us, knew it would pass.  I couldn’t find anything he has been quoted as having said about it yet, given that its just happened.  However, I did find some recent opinions (and some facts) that he expressed in an interview he did with Wolf Blitzer on CNN.  I located it at LATimesBlogs.

I decided to include some of my favorite quotes from the interview below. For the rest of the interview, see link below.

PAUL: “Well, I think that’s a mistake because we don’t have the money. But that doesn’t mean you have to do nothing. I mean, we could reform the system. We could return to sound money. We could balance our budget. We could change our foreign policy.”

“This is Wall Street in big trouble…and dumping all the bills on Main Street.”

“Yes, it would be painful, but it wouldn’t last so long.”

“We need a market economy. We need to believe in ourselves. We need to believe and understand how the economy got us — how the government got us into this mess. And believe me, it wouldn’t be that tough. It would be a bad year. But, this way, it’s going to be a bad decade.”
