"I certainly guess we are on the precipice of an 1929 like economic meltdown/depression not recession. So there may be a need to save the entire American banking system. Among normal circumstances I would be very much against everything that's happened and I am still skeptical of all this helping and.. intervention by the government. But I will say this, the entire housing crisis was all caused by government in the first place.

Government was the one that decided we have to give out loans to poor, or minority or disadvantaged participate in the American dream and home ownership. And that is the whole reason we got into this mess."

Libertarian PartyRoot says Ron Paul has done wonders for the Libertarian Party.

"He got the libertarian message out and attracted a passionate group of followers who donated over 30 million dollars... But how come he only get 5 percent in each state? I say it's because he ruined the entire message by saying the war on terror is a fraud and that 9-11 was caused by the US... Those are mistakes I'll never make."

That was Libertarians Presidential Candidate Wayne Allyn Root speaking.
