“It has been said that no war has been fought without inflation. If we could ever devise a monetary system where inflation was absolutely prohibited, the chance of war breaking out would be greatly reduced. If we had to immediately pay for our foreign entanglements, people would not tolerate paying the bill with higher taxation. It's the meddling in the internal affairs of other nations that brings about the conditions that result in armed conflict. Not initially financing foreign intervention would make us much less likely to get involved in no-win, totally unnecessary wars.” — Ron Paul
