So you're convinced that Ron Paul is the best man for the job? Before you put all your chips in, consider whether or not the United States economy is ready for his extremism.
Austerity: This is a familiar word for many. We hear it on the news and in the radio describing the situation in Greece. But what is it, exactly? In short, austerity is like nasty medicine: you do not want it because it is a long and unpleasant experience, but you know you need because it will make you better. Austerity is tough, suck-it-up reform that nations cannot avoid when they dig deep ditches of debt. The massive overhaul of the market under Ron Paul's ideal would likely kick the U.S. into depression; and the rest of the world would follow.
Decommision of the Federal Reserve System and Monetary Policy Edge: Central banking allows nations to inflate their way out of the nation's deficit at the expense of soverign debt holders, allowing the citizens of the economy to get a break from draconian taxation policies. Abandoning the Federal Reserve System would eliminate this option. On top of that, the U.S. would lose the day-to-day ability to control interest rates to engineer a soft landing in the face of potential depression, and to spur economic growth during recessions.
Deregulation of U.S. Banks: Ron Paul wants free markets, but the times have changed. Big banks are taking up large risks in their investment portfolios with the use of derivatives to turn over huge profits. I do not need to explain how important it is that "ambition must be made to counter ambition" (Madison, The Federalist #51). If we take a look at Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, AIG, and other U.S. multinational banks from 2007-2009, we will immediately understand the dangers of unregulated risk-on, risk-off. And what do we make of JPMorgan's $2 billion+ loss this year? Do we let these banks fall so that Ron Paul's free market ideals can persist? Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and AIG brought the world to its knees in the last housing crisis. Grant them and their friends a ticket to free and unregulated market behavior and they will make Greece's soverign debt troubles look like a little girl's birthday party.
Elimination of Protectionist Tariffs: The U.S. services more and manufactures less than before. Its steel and car industries struggle even with all the protectionist tariffs and government subsidies; they would not survive otherwise. A more free market is one that would make the US heavily reliant on other nations for basic materials and metals; and that, as a matter of national security and bartering leverage, is not a good idea. And we cannot trust other nations to follow our safe conviction in a free market without protective tariffs.
Transformation of the Public Education System: And by transformation, I mean the complete dismantling of public education. Paul's extreme leftist stance calls for privatized, for-profit K-12 education; so say sayonara to free public elementary school education and pay for your child's education out of your own pocket. Also bid farewell to federal aid and student loans, because he does not believe in the government's role in funding the public's education.
Return to Precious Metals Currency While Ron Paul has become ambiguous on this stance, his endorsements of ending taxes on metals imply that the market would choose precious metals as the commodity to back up the U.S. currency. The gold standard made sense in the past when trading countries had to look at what universal commodity they would accept in exchange for goods and services. Gold was a great choice because its rarity was the covet of upper class citizens with the disposable income to purchase it. Everyone wanted gold; but now, everyone wants the US dollar. Why blindly complain that the USD is losing value, when 73% of all currency trades involve the USD? The USD is still a major player in the currency exchanges and is considered a safe haven in the context of a slowing China and a troubling Europe. And with a live, 24/7 online Foreign Exchange Market (FOREX) to trade different currencies and to track the exchange rates between nations, there is no need for gold to be standard. In fact, because of the quick and efficient nature of digital trades, it becomes slow and impractical to exchange gold.
