Audacity of Hope

Jonah: I can’t recall a disagreement on Social Security with our President, though I can certainly believe I had one—I disagree with him about pretty much everything, I find.

So far as Ron Paul’s views are concerned, they are spelled out here, and I can’t find anything to take exception with.

But in any case, I would never expect to agree with Paul, or any other candidate, on everything. I have concluded that we need systemic change, not just another, er, tax collector for the welfare state (which now seems to want to extend its loving embrace to all the people of the world). Only one candidate offers systemic change. The rest will be better or worse tax collectors.
