I remember when the Soviets collapsed. That was a seriously scary time.

(NaturalNews) Former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul doesn't seen a rosy future ahead
for the United States. In fact, he sees a repeat of recent history -
though not U.S. history - on the horizon.
In an interview with radio host Alex Jones, of InfoWars, Paul - who is a physician by trade and has recently launched his own radio and television network - said he sees the "bust coming soon."
"They're
(Washington collectively) not going to work their way out of it, so
it's just (all) going to collapse," he said. "Let's just keep working on
the fact that, when we get around to rebuilding this whole entire
system, that we do it the way it was intended originally, and actually
improve upon it."
Less government, more freedom
Continuing,
Paul said, "I think the concept of liberty has advanced even since the
time of the founders, but we've regressed so desperately far from what
they intended... I think we should anticipate that, you know, in the
future, in the next several years, you're going to see a big, big
collapse, and then we have to talk about what kind of a monetary policy,
why we need to bring our troops home, why we have to quit expanding the
deficit every day, and raising these debt limits, planning on total,
socialized medicine - that all has to end, and it's going to end because
it's going to fail. I think we should anticipate that, and look at it
as an opportunity..."
He added, "Less government and more freedom is what we need."
Jones
noted that many people believe the U.S. is headed for history's dustbin
and that the country is currently in a death spiral, of sorts. Only
question now, he says, is when - and how it will happen.
"It's
hard to predict the timing," Paul said, "but I think I agree with the
assessment that it will end... I look at it like a building standing
[with] no foundation. It's sort of sitting there and wobbling, but it
hasn't crashed, and I think it will, because you know, the financial
system is so unstable, it's totally based on debt, and confidence in the
dollar and confidence in the [Federal Reserve], that they'll always
print the right amount of money and they'll always keep the interest
rates right, and they'll always bail out everybody that needs bailed out
- which I think is a total hoax..."
Paul says that the "big
event could occur next week, it could occur in five years from now," but
especially whenever the dollar is no longer credible as a reserve - or
primary - currency.
The physician-lawmaker also said recent
polling showing a distinct lack of trust by the American people in their
government was "a good thing."
"Because that means that now
they'll quit believing the government," he told Jones. "I mean, they
don't trust the government, they don't believe the government, the
government always lies to them... whether its foreign policy or domestic
policy."
'We're probably about in 1987...'
He
referenced recent testimony by the nation's spy chiefs, in which they
appear to have lied about the actual number of terrorist plots thwarted
by the NSA's massive theft of Americans' phone data, as well as the
existence of the program in the first place.
Paul said "the system" we live in "was always assumed to be much healthier than it is today."
"But,"
he continued, "just think how quickly the Soviet system disappeared. I
think that was the greatest miracle, or event at least, in the twentieth
century" that nobody saw coming.
"You know, the day before, the
month before, the year before, if someone would have said, 'Oh, you
know, next year,' the Soviet system would be gone, everybody would have
considered that person nuts. But it was fragile, and it fell apart, and
quickly, and thank goodness we didn't have to have a nuclear war in
order to get rid of the Soviet system.
"We're probably in 1987, where the Soviets were in '87, in two years they were gone," he said.
