Well, Clo, I think you can think of one.
Ron Paul not only can tell you EXACTLY why "the Obama economy sags" HE ACTUALLY SAID THE SYSTEM WAS GOING TO BLOW UP, AND WHY, IN 2007 AND 2008 WHILE EVERYONE ELSE -- IN BOTH PARTIES -- WAS CLEARLY OBLIVIOUS. Romney, also, was clearly oblivious ... so much for Romney's grasp of economics.
After the blow up, while Obama was voting for TARP and making back room deals with G.S. et al, Ron Paul made clear that TARP, QE, etc. might give a temporary to the economy but was the wrong thing to do, wouldn't fix anything, and would, in fact, only mask symptoms for a while and then lead to things becoming worse than ever.
Ron Paul even has a solution and, eventually (maybe after the greatest depression in US history has dragged out for some decades) his solution may be tried: End the Fed and dramatically downsize Central Planning. What dumb-clucks are we that we didn't learn anything from the USSR but think that we can do what the USSR did and have things turn out any better?
Anyway, I'm not expecting Ron Paul to get the Republican nomination but I wanted to point out something pretty near everyone knows -- including you and Steve Forbes -- there has been someone all along who understood what was going to happen, why it was going to happen, and why the Central Planning and ZIRP/QE BS wouldn't stick and ... as we have yet to find out but WILL find out ... would only mask a greater depression later on.
“THERE IS NO MEANS OF AVOIDING THE FINAL COLLAPSE OF A BOOM BROUGHT ABOUT BY CREDIT EXPANSION. THE ALTERNATIVE IS ONLY WHETHER THE CRISIS SHOULD COME SOONER AS THE RESULT OF A VOLUNTARY ABANDONMENT OF FURTHER CREDIT EXPANSION OR LATER AS A FINAL AND TOTAL CATASTROPHE OF THE CURRENCY SYSTEM INVOLVED.”
Ludwig von Mises – Austrian Economist (1881- 1973)
So we've opted for the road named "later" -- kick the can down the road a little further. Currency collapse is coming and it is going to make the Great Depression seem like a French kiss in comparison.
I have come to realize that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men. -Napoleon
