Ron Paul's glass is half full AND half empty.

On one hand, the former 12-term congressman and three-time presidential candidate from Texas believes America is on the edge of economic collapse and totalitarianism, a teetering empire that boldly pokes its nose into the lives of its own citizens and the affairs of other nations.

On the other hand, "I am optimistic enough to believe that we are moving in the right direction," he told an overflowing audience of about 600 on Wednesday at Cal State East Bay. "We're overcoming that propaganda machine of the government and the media."

Former 12-term Congressman of Texas, and three-time candidate for President of the United States, Dr. Ron Paul, visited California State University, East Bay yesterday.

In his speech, Paul emphasized that he does not have faith in our government. He describes the government as “the biggest counterfeiters.”

He believes the U.S. government violates the people’s civil liberties by not allowing citizens to make their own decisions and run their own lives. Through income taxes, he believes this insinuates that the U.S. government believes that American citizens do not know how to spend their hard earned money.
