227: Dr. Ron Paul: Why The Current Monetary System Is Unsustainable

My guest in today's episode is Former Congressman, Dr.Ron Paul. Dr Ron Paul has been a champion of liberty, helping people to start questioning the role of government, how a free society function, the imperialistic foreign military adventures over the last two decades, and what money is and what it should be by exposing the true nature of the Federal Reserve. Some of my personal favourite moments in any politics have been watching Congressman Ron Paul grilling the Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and other banking cronies on Capitol Hill after the financial crisis. A twelve-term congressman from Texas, he has been the leading advocate of freedom in our nation's capital. He has devoted his political career to the defense of individual liberty, sound money, and a non-interventionist foreign policy. Judge Andrew Napolitano calls him "the Thomas Jefferson of our day." After serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960s, Dr. Paul moved to Texas to begin a civilian medical practice, delivering over four thousand babies in his career as an obstetrician. He served in Congress from 1976 to 1984, and again from 1996 to 2012. Ron Paul, the New York Post once wrote, is a politician who "cannot be bought by special interests." "There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles," added a congressional colleague. "Ron Paul is one of those few."
