I think Obama is saying that Paul was right.
I'm not too sure on what RP's stance on this is, but the article i quoted fully had links to Ron Paul on it. It actually made me skeptical of the article's merits , but there doesn't seem to be any obvious flaws in its logic.
I'm sure our resident Fed-loving "experts" will come in here and say the OP is full of shit, the Fed and its artificially low interest rates do not cause bubbles and busts, economic cycles happen naturally, just like the weather, and the devaluing of the dollar is a good thing. If you question their assertions, you must provide copies of your resume including all education levels and employment positions.
Since the Federal reserve was born out of 3 banking crisis that had happened before it in the late 1800's, yes I would say bubbles and busts happen in a cyclical way.
The Federal reserve was created out of a demand to try and stop the pattern of bank failures, crisis and bubble/burst. Bubble/Burst is just the way the economy works.
You cannot say a system is bad when you know nothing about it.
