Nostra-Paul-us?

Ron Paul discusses the economic crisis that he felt was impending due to the Federal Reserve and our fiat monetary system.

In 1988.

No doubt he was dismissed as a marginal doomsayer back then. Perhaps given the timeframe he was projecting for a depression made him so, but he could only speculate, after all.

The prediction hardly makes him a Nostradamus-type mystical soothsayer, however. Basing his projections on the solid ground of Austrian Economics, he was merely predicting what had to happen.

Pretty poignant stuff in retrospect. Hindsight is 20/20 after all.

Enjoy.
