Ron Paul recently penned a series of opinion pieces on the US economy and our current "stimulus mania" (H/T: Bear Mountain Bull).
As usual, Paul's thoughtful essays on government interference in the economy and our lives are right on target. Here's an excerpt on the from his latest piece, "Stimulus for Who?":
