"Paul's explanation was completely misunderstood." - Yea thats per usual, they don't understand economics or care to think it out for themselves and ask 'why would he do that?' then figure out that it's analogous to health care where people do not pay for the care for themselves rather just a flat co pay thus the hospital can charge anything they want and get it as the patient never sees the bill or has reason to say 'I'm sorry thats just too much money for something like this, I'll go elsewhere' causing competition in the market and lowering prices. It's the same with College, if you don't have a guaranteed check for the max tuition rate (that the Colleges currently charge) from uncle sam your not likely to get a loan from a bank and will have to pay out of pocket / get a regular job and save up which will slash demand at the Colleges again lowering prices just like in the previous example. When markets are taken out of play due to government interference the same thing happens without fail, prices rise, quality plummets and the consumer the Gov wanted to help is actually hurt the most.

 

Solution = Get the Gov out of the economy, We need a separation of Gov and economy.  That means medical savings accounts, percentage based shared pay insurance or similar as well as lifting the state to state insurance monopolys which would massively increase competition lowering prices and drastic tort reforms capping settlements. For College by removing the Dept. of Edu. and student loan laws (all of them) making a student loans the same as a car loan etc. and all affirmative action BS, tuition would plummet, many colleges would go bankrupt due to large debt they incurred assuming it would be paid for by continued tuition fees and their planned increases. Consolidations through the bankruptcy's and tenure eliminations would free the new stronger colleges to hire only the best Profs and at market prices. Quality would return and prices would hit rock bottom in just one year.

 

As Regan said Government is the problem not the solution!!

True that. Ron Paul will likely not hop on the ticket. I talked to the campaign manager here, and it's pretty much a no go. I read a few things online that led me to think he might and it sounded good.

 

Paul has my full support but he kind of dropped the ball with the student loan issue last night. That is why he dropped in the college polls so dramatically. The other candidates seized the opportunity to try to form a better argument and they succeeded. Paul has it right, he just talks to much and try's to make to many analogies. The campaign staff have suggested things like shining a flashlight on him like they do to comedians to get them to change channels on stage.

 

Problem is he is to philosophical, and it leads to rambling. He was correct in his explanation it was just slightly convoluted, and way overstated. All he needed to say was by cutting federal loans it would force colleges to lower tuition cost and take away the exclusivity of the monetary factorial control of the single entity of government. Basic supply and demand. By getting rid of the department of education, you are getting rid of the federal loan racket. Tuition costs would be forcibly lowered, otherwise college campuses would be empty because no one can afford their ridiculous prices.

 

Just reading the tweets last night in the post debate analysis, and it was clear -- Paul's explanation was completely misunderstood.

Perry might not have a chance to win at this point but I see him sticking around to lose a few primary's.

 

Don't underestimate the stupidity of Cain supporters most couldn't give a shit about this sex harassment thing as they perceive the source Politico as a Dem attack machine(note boo's at last nights debate when the subject was mentioned). Anyone who wants to institute a federal sales tax is a globalist op and any who agrees with that op is retarded beyond measure. Cain is a NeoCon, knows how to pander really well and make himself likable, I doubt he's going to be taken down to far by the latest accusations.

 

Ron Paul as much as it saddens me to say it, likely will not pursue a third party run. It is possible as he won't rule it out but if you look at all the scenarios I find it very hard to see one in which he would try this except if it was a very close race that lasted past the spring into the summer. If he lost the Rep. nod by a narrow margin and still had time to file as a libertarian I could see him going for it. If the economy takes a deeper dive before the election and RP is still running people are going to move like a stampede to him and his platform. If that happens HE WINS.... If not we can all have a special collapse of a once great nation party and hail in the new dictator in charge of over seeing the fall!!
