The War Against Progress.

Since according to him the very government he's a part of should exist solely to do nothing, Ron Paul thinks the government's response to Hurricane Irene should be the same as it was in 1900:

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) told NBC News’ Jo Ling Kent today that there should be no national response to Hurricane Irene, and that government responses should revert back to how they were over 100 years ago. “We should be like 1900, we should be like 1940 1950 1960,” he said. “I live on the gulf coast, we deal with hurricanes all the time.”

I wonder what Ron Paul's feelings would be about the government's response to his compensation as a US Congressman being as it was in 1900?  Hmm. It's a mystery!
