LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, 2012 GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, remarked on President Barack Obama’s recent pledge of U.S. support to help the country of Greece tackle its debt crisis. See comments below.

“It should infuriate Americans to hear our president pledge billions of dollars to bail out another country when we are facing a crisis of our own.

“We have over 9 percent unemployment and ongoing effects of a major recession, yet the official crowd in charge of Washington continues to spend as if there’s no tomorrow and can’t seem to balance out own budget.

“America has its own debt crisis, and Greece should deal with its own problems.

“As President, one of my first acts would be to stop stealing money from working Americans to send to corrupt regimes and the central planners at the IMF and World Bank.”
