By Bess Levin

Ron Paul Sees No Reason To Worry About Defaulting

By Matt Levine

Proponents of raising the debt ceiling claim that a default on Aug. 2 is unprecedented and will result in calamity (never mind that this is simply an arbitrary date, easily changed, marking a congressional recess). My expectations of such a scenario are more sanguine. … Despite the defaults in 1934, 1968 and 1971,* world markets have been only too willing to purchase Treasury debt and thereby fund the government’s deficit spending. If these major defaults didn’t result in decreased investor appetite for U.S. obligations, I see no reason why defaulting on a small amount of debt this August would cause any major changes.

* For “defaults” read “moves away from the gold standard.”

Well, you couldn’t be more off base. Ron Paul loves the Fed! And he’s going to let it live a little while longer, unless Ben Bernanke really pisses him off, in which case, you’re finished.

Open Letter To Ron Paul Supporters

By Equity Private

Deal Ron Paul Supporters (Human and/or Automated):
In the spirit of last-day-in-office pardons and stealing of “W” keys from White House keyboards, I have developed totally unsanctioned DealBreaker policy that will likely only last until someone notices this post.
Henceforth, my automated comment script will replace the text “Ron Paul” with a hyperlink to this image.
Thank you for your cooperation.
