Hana Alberts says:

The Council on Foreign Relations caught up with former presidential nominee Ron Paul last week, who attributed high oil prices to misguided foreign policy and inflation.

He also passionately affirmed his pro-free trade stance. The interview is a lively read!

At the same time, interference in the development of alternative energy also causes our prices to go up.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cfr.org/publication/17082/">I consider myself the strongest advocate of free trade.
