Ron Paul continues to be one of the few politicians who is honest about what the country is really facing. While many politicians beat their chest yesterday and pounded out more rhetoric over the pros and cons of the debt ceiling, Congressman Paul offered the reality of a $14.3 trillion debt with interest payments that are taking their toll.
"When a country is indebted to the degree that we’re indebted, the country always defaults. We will default because the debt is unsustainable," Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) said on the House floor today.
"If we don’t understand this, this default will not be because we don't send out the checks. We will send out the checks. It will be defaulted on because people will get their money back, or they will get their Social Security checks and it won't buy anything."
