If there are as many Paulites as Ron Paul says there are, the Bush Administration may have another reason to be worried about its economic bailout plan.

The former Presidential candidate came out against the proposal today and he didn't mince words.

"Unfortunately, the government's preferred solution to the crisis is the very thing that got us into this mess in the first place: government intervention."

Why does Paul matter anymore you ask? He's a member of the House Financial Services Committee that Paulson & Co. are meeting tomorrow. And what he writes outlines what many members of Congress who oppose the plan are saying in recent days.
