"What is Ron Paul's solution - 'sound money' rather than 'paper money' - in other words a deflationary gold standard that changes control of the money supply from the Fed directly to the Rothschild gold monopoly." (Ron Paul The Deceiver - Out Of The Closet)
"Ron Paul is an unofficial member of the John Birch Society, which was founded by masons, funded by Nelson Rockefeller and run by Jesuit-trained Knights of Malta.
"In other words, the JBS is a gatekeeper organization, designed to control the opposition and make sure nothing substantial is ever done to impede the New World Order system which just keeps on rolling over humanity."
Ron Paul and Freemasonry Aftermath News
Reaganomics was about helping the rich elite.
Ron Paul supported Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan was a bad guy.
Ron Paul must be a bad guy?
In the USA the Republicans still think that tax cuts for the rich and deregulation will solve America's economic problems. (Republicans Plot Tax Cuts And Deregulation For 2011 ...)
In the 1960s and 1970s:
There was widespread regulation of the economy and there were high taxes for the rich.
The world economy grew at about 3%, in per capita terms, each year.
From the 1980s onwards:
There was less regulation of the economy and there were lower taxes on the rich.
The world economy grew at about 1.5%, in per capita terms, each year.
What about Ronald Reagan and the US economy?
According to John Miller, teacher of economics at Wheaton College (Ronald Reagan's Legacy):
"The economy grew much more slowly in the 1980s than during the 1960s, more slowly than the postwar average of 3.6% annual growth, and no faster than in the 1970s or the 1990s.
"Nor did Reagan administration regulatory rollbacks unleash a productivity boom.
"Productivity gains in the 1980s failed to match those in the decades before and after, and couldn't hold a candle to the productivity gains of the 1960s boom...
" Reagan administration economic policies did not result in a 1960s-style prosperity, when workers' real wages went up in tandem with the value of stock holdings-just the opposite.
"Since 1980, the gains from U.S. economic growth have gone overwhelmingly to the well-to-do, and economic inequality has steadily worsened."

In 1978, the government in Afghanistan was peaceful, moderate, progressive and non-communist.
The US government wanted control of Afghanistan.
The CIA decided to finance some extremist Moslems and put them into power in Afghanistan.
The CIA sets up and finances the extremist Moslem groups. Above, Ronald Reagan meets Afghan Mujahideen Commanders at the White House in 1983 (Reagan Archives)
Ronald Reagan means CIA support for Islamist extremists.
Ronald Reagan means Iran-Contra.
A column by Drew Pearson in the New York Post, 1967, reported that:
'a homosexual ring' operated out of Governor Reagan’s office for six months 'with his full knowledge' and that the governor 'did not act until pressured by aides into firing the men'.
Pearson alleged that Art Van Court, Reagan’s bodyguard, had a tape recording ‘of a (homosexual) sex orgy which had taken place at a cabin near Lake Tahoe, leased by two members of Reagan’s staff.’
The following paragraph is from: http://www.glbtq.com/social-sciences/republican_party.html
"The first organized and visible gay presence at a Republican National Convention occurred in 1984, when Ronald Reagan became his party's nominee for a second term.
"However, this presence did not prevent a conservative faction of the GOP from trying, but failing, to oust the newly formed Log Cabin Club, a gay Republican group, from the party in 1987.
"The effort to oust the Log Cabin Club may have failed because of Reagan's ties to the group."
~~
An 1989 Washington Times investigative report by Paul M. Rodriguez and George Archibald revealed that:
A Washington, D.C. boy prostitution ring was under investigation.
The ring numbered among its clients high officials of the Reagan administration.
(“Homosexual prostitution inquiry ensnares VIPs with Reagan, Bush: ‘Call boys’ took midnight tour of White House,” June 29, 1989.)
“The investigation is said to be focused on illegal interstate prostitution, abduction and use of minors for sexual perversion, extortion, larceny and related illicit drug trafficking and use by prostitutes and their clients.”
Reportedly, one former top-level Pentagon officer said that for eight years, military and civilian intelligence authorities were concerned that 'a nest of homosexuals at top levels of the Reagan administration may have been penetrated by Soviet-backed espionage agents posing as male prostitutes.'
Reportedly, lobbyist Craig Spence conducted a 1 a.m tour of the Reagan White House on July 3, 1988 for six friends, including two homosexual call boys.

The following is from the above site:
Reagan knew many homosexuals in Hollywood and considered several of them close, personal friends... Marc Christian, the homosexual partner of the late Rock Hudson, wrote:
"The notion that a Ronald Reagan was a homophobe strikes me as silly beyond belief.
"Not only did he have several gay men on his staff when he was Governor of California, he called my lover, Rock Hudson, when he was on his deathbed just weeks before he died of AIDS and wished him well and voiced his and Nancy’s concern and prayers.
"The Reagans had known Rock for years and knew he was gay (as did most of Hollywood). …The point is, Reagan could have ignored Rock’s illness and didn’t.”
Ron Paul "believes the United States should shed its role as the world’s policeman and focus instead on its internal economic problems.
"Representative Ron Paul of Texas says he would cut a trillion dollars out of the federal budget his first year as president, in part by ending all foreign wars and foreign aid, including to Israel."
Ron Paul's foreign policy views draw support.
We have previously pointed out that Ron Paul was once a fan of Ronald Reagan.
'Michael'', in a comment on this blog, points out that Ron Paul has criticised Ronald Reagan:
Flashback 1987: Ron Paul Trashes Ronald Reagan Pensito Review
Letter written by Ron Paul:
"President Reagan... failed to exercise his constitutional responsibility to veto spending.
"Instead, he has encouraged it...
"America will suffer from a Reaganomics that is nothing but warmed-over Keynesianism...
"Reagan ... reneged ... on his pledge to abolish the Departments of Education and Energy, or to work against abortion...
"Knowing this administration’s record, I wasn’t surprised by its Libyan disinformation campaign, Israeli-Iranian arms-for-hostages swap, or illegal funding of the Contras."
Ron Paul's mentor Murray Rothbard on "the myth of criminal Reagan being conservative."
