EP 50 WHAT’S RON PAUL THINKING THESE DAYS?
Ron Paul rose out of obscurity as a Texas Congressman to be embraced politically by a diverse coalition, including young and old. He also ran for President three times, twice as a Republican and once as a Libertarian. Now, out of elective politics, he has established an Institute for Peace and Prosperity. That organization is designed to advance an agenda that includes less military adventurism abroad and more fiscal responsibility and reform at home. He also wants to keep his concerns about civil liberties and government overreach in public view. He selected his former Congressional aide, Daniel McAdams, to be executive director of this Institute. He joins us on this episode. http://ronpaulinstitute.org/

So Much Nonsense Out There, So Little Time….
If we all want love, why is there such much conflict in our most intimate relationships? How do we choose who we mate with–and how do we lose them?
The authors of a book on the subject tell you how to stop hidden anger from spoiling your relationships, career and happiness.
There’s a non-partisan reform coalition called ‘Common Good’ that offers Americans a new way to look at law and government. They have some creative ideas about restoring common sense to all three branches of government. Their key principle is simple, but powerful. People, not rules, should prevail when assessing the effectiveness of laws and regulations. So, practicallly speaking, how do you unlock people within bureaucracies to substitute reason for inflexible rules? And how do you focus more on results than process? Many changes will be required in torder to accomplish their objectives. Philip K. Howard, the founder of the organization, has enlisted people like Bill Bradley, a Democrat, and Republicans like Alan Simpson, to advocate for changes. We’ll let you in on their thinking on this episode of our podcast.
