By Rep. Ron Paul 12-01-2008 As the printing presses for the bailouts run at full speed, those in power are no longer even pretending that the new giveaways will fix our problems. Now that we are used to rewarding failure with taxpayer-funded bailouts, we are being told that this is “just a start,”

Well, I have argued that he might be--if not from a leadership point, from an electability point of view--but I'm willing to keep an open mind about it, and if the opportunity presents itself...well, who knows?
