Comment: Ron Paul's ideas originated from Frederic Bastiat in the early 1800's. The tragedy of high government consumption is insidious in that we should be so much more wealthy than we are, and now we have all these debts to pay off. Don't be so sure that the gold standard won't be considered once disaster has ravaged the land, but it sure won't be the politicians that support it, because the gold standard stands in the way of inflationary big government.
