(Say what you will of Ron Paul... Personally, I find him an astute thinker until he starts talking about going back on the gold standard, at which point I have to remind myself, "This guy's incredibly smart in re: 75% of his commentary, but batshit insane as to the other 25%." But within that 75% of sane stuff he says, the dude is often brutally accurate, and this speech is very much within that 75%.)
