J'ai déjà affirmé à plusieurs reprises que Ron Paul était un candidat du dix-huitième siècle, un avis que partage Nicholas Wapshott sur le site de POLITICO. Voici un extrait de son article:
"Paul’s policies would mean turning the clock back two centuries, to a time when the United States was a trading nation but otherwise blithely cut off from the world. It would mean an unregulated free market economy that Charles Dickens would have recognized, where big businesses would rule the roost. Most public services — including city governments — would be run by private companies, and representative democracy – the U.S. system that libertarians deride as “the tyranny of the majority” – would be cut to a bare minimum. Paul is for: firing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and abolishing the entire Fed; withdrawing U.S. troops not only from Afghanistan, but also Germany, South Korea and Japan; ending of the new health care regulations and the winding down Medicare; halting all U.S. subsidies from Arab states as well as Israel, and closing all but three federal government departments — unlike Texas Gov. Rick Perry, he has no trouble remembering which. Paul also advocates enhanced states’ rights, outlawing abortion and the legalization of recreational drugs. Instead of the Fed, which Paul blames for inflation, he would relax laws restricting ownership of gold, silver and other precious metals. The result would likely be a run on the dollar — as investors and exporting businesses sought refuge in hard currencies or gold. Without the Fed pumping money into the economy, inflation would be kept in check, but banks would be allowed to fail. Americans would be subjected to a regime of material austerity they have not endured since the early days of the Republic. With the world’s largest economy on short rations, it would risk tipping the rest of the globe into a second Great Depression."
