The First Steps Toward a Liberty Platform

By Ron Paul

​Last weekend several hundred of us gathered in Washington, DC, at the Ron Paul Institute conference to again proclaim our dedication to the cause of liberty and our opposition to constant US government assaults on that liberty. Our collaborators included old friends like Judge Andrew Napolitano, who explained that the Bill of Rights was not added to the Constitution to grant Americans liberties, but to recognize liberties already existing for all persons – regardless of nationality –...

Did Dick Cheney Just Elect Donald Trump?

It should be no surprise that the war party will go to whatever host it anticipates will provide the most blood to feed its cravings. Former VP Dick Cheney - wrongly viewed as an arch-conservative - has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Will Trump send him a thank you note? Also today: Are they trying to lower expectations for tomorrow night's presidential debate? Watch Here

“Government Efficiency” Is An Oxymoron — Trump & Musk Should Know That Going In

Former President Trump announced that he will create a government efficiency commission led by Elon Musk. Let’s not forget that “government efficiency” is an oxymoron. Government can't rationally economize, like the rest of us. Its decisions are made politically, and not by profits and losses. We don’t voluntarily give our money to the government. It takes our money by force. So while government can never be “efficient," it can be, and should be, a lot smaller and less of a burden on us. Watch He...

Russia! Russia! Russia! … Is Hillary At It Again?

Here we go again. For the third straight election in a row, Russia is being accused of interfering in “our democracy.” Many will remember that the last time around, more than 50 former intelligence officials signed a letter denouncing the Hunter Biden laptop as "Russian disinformation.” It wasn’t, and even Big Tech censored the story.

The Election Campaigns Have Some of The Dumbest Economic Ideas

American politicians have adopted, and continue to dream up, some of the dumbest economic ideas. Our major economic issue is “corporatism,” where crony corporations have the concealed ability to wield state power. To the naked eye, Americans believe that government agencies provide a check against big corporations, right? Wrong! Only the free market prohibits corporations from wielding state power. Naturally, big corporations hate the free market, and they want American citizens to hate the free...

Trump and Harris Ignore a Great Danger Facing America

By Ron Paul

​The Penn Wharton Budget Model, a think tank headquartered at the University of Pennsylvania, recently released a study claiming former President Donald Trump’s economic plans would add about four trillion dollars to the national deficit over ten years while Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic plans would add about two trillion dollars.
​
Vice President Harris would increase the deficit largely through expanding refundable tax credits such as the child tax credit. Low-income America...

Bubbles Everywhere...Blame The Federal Reserve!

We live in the greatest government bubble in the history of the world. The U.S. federal government intervenes everywhere, and ruins everything that it touches. Its interventions aren't restricted to the geographical United States, but are worldwide! The engine of this great catastrophe is The Federal Reserve System. Without The Fed, none of this would have been possible. Watch Here
