| It's easy to support bullionism when the only specifics you know about it are whatever you've lifted off Ron Paul's meme community and those 5-minute infoblurbs on YouTube. There's some merit to Paul's conviction in Vienna-school economics, specifically his transition to a Hayekian competing currency, but reverting to bullion in a nanosecond-precise global finance space (even with rigid Hayekian heuristics) is a preposterous political impossibility.
Coupled with his determination to erode the security of American interests across the globe, Ron Paul comes out a hopeless nutball. |
