Mr.L: Mitt Romney, Ron Paul GOPe Only To Blame for 4 More Years of Obama
Elections have consequences. Proof of that is with Obama #39;s post election press conference. Meet the new Obama, same as the old Obama. Who #39;s to blame for the loss? Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and the Republican establishment. Blame them and blame often. Conservatives were right, GOPe were wrong: Mitt Romney shouldn #39;t have been the nominee. Ron Paul is to blame by acting as a Romney campaign surrogate, helping Mitt secure the nomination and then ultimately lose the election to Obama. Some dude at Red State apologizes to Sarah Palin. Rand Paul has evolved into a Democrat. Also, I read a compelling message from an angst ridden conservative New Yorker.From:mrltavernViews:1 0ratingsTime:29:08More inNews Politics

Ron Paul, Farewell Address, Part 8 Questions - Video

Shining a little reality light on the otherwise pollyanna-like dearth of pragmatism that is the mainstream media's guest-list, Ron Paul provided Bloomberg TV's Trish Regan a little more than we suspect she bargained for when asked if he had any hope that we avoid the fiscal cliff. The constant "delaying-of-the-inevitable" enables our politicians to avoid facing up to the serious consequences of our reality and as Representative Paul notes the chances of a grand bargain are "probably zero... that's why I think we're over the cliff [already]." Just like the handling of the debt ceiling debacle, Paul notes they will "pretend they are going to do it" until we get a total crash of the dollar and the entire financial system (which he notes is what will occur if we continue the status quo). "We are at a point of no return" unless certain things change, since "we are not the productive nation we used to be."

Paul on the fiscal cliff and whether politicians are under more pressure to just do what they need to do to get votes:

"Well I think that's true and I think it's been that way for a long time but the big difference is the Treasury is bare. It isn't like we're in the 1950s and 1960s where economic growth could work our way out of these problems that you could print money forever. Printing the money right now, what does it do, it fills the banks with excessive reserves and they get paid to park it at the Federal Reserve. So it's quite different. We're not the productive nation we used to bewe have a lot of jobs gone overseas. Our dollar is weakening because prices do go up and as long as we do that, the politicians are going to keep pushing that and trying to get away with that but the big question is how long will politicians will be able to get away with that."

On the probability that a grand bargain will be reached on the fiscal cliff:

"Probably zero that's why I think we're over the cliff. We're past bargaining states because they will not address those things I just stated. They're going to try to pretend that they are going to do it. The way they handled the debt increase, last summer, that is a pretty good example. And matter of fact the debt increase might be the big event come February that might be big because they can roll things overthey can postpone big decisions in January and yet that still does not remove the uncertainty. Uncertainty is a major cause of the inability for the market to get moving again and they have to revamp it in a much more detailed fashion than they are even talking about right now."

On whether Obama will be able to bring Congress together for some kind of reform before the end of the year:

"Oh no, I think there will be something, but it will be very temporary, it won't be long lasting and restore confidence and fix the problem. But there will be some type of reconciliation of saying we'll do this and a little of that and it may even help the financial markets for a little while, but since it won't solve the problems it will only be temporary. "

Ron Paul : "0% Chance Of 'Grand Bargain' Over Fiscal Cliff"

Even as New York and New Jersey launched lawsuits against business that have participated in price gouging post-Sandy, Texas Rep. Ron Paul has penned a newsletter saying that when it comes to gas this practice would have actually solved states problems post the storm.

In the In Praise of Price Gouging newsletter, Paul argues that price gouging is normal market response of rising prices in the wake of a natural disaster.

According to Bloomberg, New Jersey government is currently suing seven stations for price gouging. Under New Jersey law, excessive price increase of 10 percent or more during a declared state of emergency is considered price gouging.

We warned merchants again and again not to violate the law by taking advantage of people following this catastrophe, said New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa during a press conference on Friday Nov. 9. The fact that we have these fringe businesses that think that disasters are a profit center is troubling.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie warned against price gouging as early as Oct. 27, when he said:

During emergencies, New Jerseyans should look out for each other not seek to take advantage of each other. The State Division of Consumer Affairs will look closely at any and all complaints about alleged price gouging. Anyone found to have violated the law will face significant penalties.

On Nov. 5, New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced that his office has received overwhelming number of complaints about price gouging and was launching an investigation into the matter, reportedReuters.

Our office has zero tolerance for price gouging, he said. We are actively investigating hundreds of complaints weve received from consumers of businesses preying on victims.

However, the outgoing representative from the Lone Star State, Ron Paul, believes that interfering in price gouging and regulating the prices actually hurt the residents in New Jersey and New York and caused the post-Sandy gas shortage to last longer than it otherwise would.
