Ron Paul on what he expects from the new administration:
I don’t expect many good things. I do expect a lot of spending and even more debt. To really cut spending and balance our budget, we need to change foreign policy. Obama’s rhetoric on foreign policy is better than what we have gotten recently, but don’t expect any real change.
He may be more likely to wind things down in Iraq, but he’s still
planning on keeping troops there for a least 16 more months. He wants
money for Georgia and more troops in Afghanistan. He isn’t going to
bring home our 30,000 troops from Korea or our 50,000 soldiers in
Germany, and he won’t close any of our 700 foreign bases. At the same
time, he is planning even bigger spending here at home. I hope I’m
wrong, but if this spending and debt continue, the dollar is going to
crash and we will see the middle class in this country take a grave hit.
