Ron Paul: Ukraine aid bill is bad deal for all
Published time: March 31, 2014 15:46 Get short URL
Note. BEWARE:
Paul said the economic plan outlined by the IMF would raise energy
prices and taxes in Ukraine, as well as freeze wages and make
life more difficult for the average citizen.
“This $1 billion for Ukraine is a rip-off for the America
taxpayer, but it is also a bad deal for Ukrainians,” he wrote.
“Not a single needy Ukrainian will see a penny of this money, as
it will be used to bail out international banks who hold
Ukrainian government debt.”

Following Congress’ decision to approve a $1 billion aid package
to Ukraine last week, former libertarian Congressman Ron Paul has
published an op-ed strongly criticizing it as a bad deal for both
American taxpayers and Ukrainian citizens.
In the column, published by Ron Paul Institute for Peace and
Prosperity, the iconic libertarian said the bill effectively puts
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in charge of the Ukrainian
economy, needlessly directs money towards “democracy promotion”
and additional sanctions on Russia. He also accused the US
government of ignoring its own role in the crisis currently
unfolding in Eastern Europe.
Paul said the economic plan outlined by the IMF would raise energy
prices and taxes in Ukraine, as well as freeze wages and make
life more difficult for the average citizen.
“This $1 billion for Ukraine is a rip-off for the America
taxpayer, but it is also a bad deal for Ukrainians,” he wrote.
“Not a single needy Ukrainian will see a penny of this money, as
it will be used to bail out international banks who hold
Ukrainian government debt.”
A longtime opponent of foreign aid, Paul has often criticized
the concept for lining the pockets of rich citizens and the
ruling class instead of helping the people it’s intended to.
In addition to funneling money towards the IMF plan, the bill
includes funding for outlets such as Radio Free Europe and Voice
of America, which Paul said have been used “to broadcast US
government propaganda” into Ukraine for 10 years with little to
show for the effort.
“Recently a democratically-elected government was overthrown by
violent protesters,” he wrote. “That is the opposite of
democracy, where governments are changed by free and fair
elections. What is shocking is that the US government and its
NGOs were on the side of the protesters!
“Washington does not want to talk about its own actions that led
to the coup, instead focusing on attacking the Russian reaction
to US-instigated unrest next door to them.”
On the topic of Crimea, Paul has stated multiple times that
Russia’s annexation of the peninsula is not a situation that
requires the involvement of the United States.
In his column, he reiterated that Crimeans voted to join Russia,
and earlier this month told Politico, “self-determination is a
centerpiece of international law.”
Paul’s son – and potential presidential candidate –
Rand Paul has diverged a bit from his father’s thinking, calling
for a strong reaction from the US on Russia's accession of
Crimea. Rand Paul ultimately voted against the Ukrainian aid
bill, saying that while he supports offering technical and
security assistance to Ukraine in addition to sanctions on
Moscow, he “cannot support the bill because it will have the
perverse impact of using American tax dollars to reward Russia.”

Ron Paul is right on. He is widely supported at the grass roots of the U.S. Certainly, He and Buddy Roemer were the only candidates in the last Presidential Election who were not owned by the TBTF Banks and Big Corporate who have laid out the war plans for the nation.
Oba ma is insane. He was insane. This condition of his will continue to become worse. He should be removed under Constitutional designs that address this condition. For crimes already committed, he should be impeached. The future of the Earth may depend on his removal before he pushes the Button.

Ron Paul is one of the very few things USA can be proud of since the days of JFK. Trouble is, he get's very little respect from his own countrymen.

Ron Paul, the darling of Russian propaganda.
How curious his political career went nowhere and his son now leads the funny farm political wing Ron used to lead.
That' s a family legacy I could do without.

I like Ron, but he hasn't seen a Bad Deal yet. Should talk to our EU hacks, they do know how to make really bad deal for everybody. The German finance minister even threatens to draw from his austerity policy experience in Greece to stabilize the Ukraine.
