"We've certainly gotten ourselves
into a mess, because the conservative movement that was designed to
bring us back to our roots, you know like limited government, smaller
government, more individual liberty--it hasn't happened. And now,
since we did not do the job we were supposed to do, the opposition has
taken over and guess what, they're criticizing the Republicans and the
conservatives for not having balanced the budget. But does that
mean they're going to do that? No. They're going to make us
look like pikers. They're going to double and triple and
quadrouple the spending."
Paul emphasized
the need for "honest money" and warned that "the next shoe to drop will
be the disintegration of the dollar." "Today we are still
privileged to print dollars and the world is still, unbelievalbly,
taking those," he said. "But that is going to end, and when that
ends the party is over."On a more concrete point, Paul urged the audience to support H.R. 1207 [Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009] which would audit the Federal Reserve. "At least we can find out what they're doing," Paul said.
