Ron Paul is an amazing individual. Not only has he been the
most consistent voice for liberty in the U.S. Congress in our time—

On top of all that, Ron Paul is a successful OB-GYN, who delivered
over 4,000 babies during his career. This is why I’m so
amazed at his nuanced understanding of economics. Let me put it
this way: Ron Paul knows a lot more about current account
