What kooky thing did Ron Paul say now?
by digby
He’s calling the President a dictator:
“It is flaunting the Constitution and the whole principle of how we’re supposed to operate,” Paul argued. “The idea they can just do this and take over the legislative function and brag bout it—and Congress does nothing and the courts do nothing about it, it’s very, very bad.”Paul then doubled-down on his point, adding “He’s dictatorial, is what he is.”
No, he’s not talking about foreign policy and the flouting of the War Powers Act. He’s talking to Fox Business News about the administration using executive branch agencies to create jobs since the congress won’t pass his plan. Seriously.
Oh, and he is against a balanced budget amendment because they might raise taxes to balance it. At least he’s honest about his commitment to deficit reduction. Credit where credit is due.
