As we’ve reported a number of times in the past, Doug Wead is in the forefront of those gung-ho for the potential 2012 Presidential run by Ron Paul, and the possibilities of success.  This time he focuses on the state of the economy and the fact that only Ron Paul and like-minded economists were able to foresee the current calamity, and that once Obama’s immense spending package succeeds in totally wrecking everything, perhaps the populace will be ready to listen to other ideas.

…it is becoming clear that the “changes” we wanted are not going to be ushered in by Barrack Obama. If anything, he is feeling the need to reassure the establishment and the institutions of his political base, the unions and other constituencies and the liberal clique on Capitol Hill, that it is not risky to put an African American at the helm. What we are getting is old liberalism, a 1960’s, Lyndon Johnson liberalism. Re-cycled programs that we have already tried and have seen failed. We are seeing the treasury used to pay off political debts to unions and other constituencies. There is increased spending, centralization of power in Washington, D.C. New regulations. The Swedenization of America. And it is coming at a breathtaking pace.

…

Over the years, only one national politician has been warning about this coming crisis, clearly and consistently, while others smirked and laughed at him, secure in their knowledge that “the experts” on Wall Street knew what they were doing. And that politician was Ron Paul.
