Thailand State Of The Republic 28 January 1998 1998 Ron Paul 2:61 The message is this: The politicians will never limit spending, but, eventually, the market will. It has already done so in Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. Thailand Every Currency Crumbles 24 June 1998 1998 Ron Paul 65:12 None. Certainly, the deterioration of the American balance-of-payments position doesn’t bode well for the dollar’s long-term exchange rate. Consuming more than it produces, the United States must finance the shortfall. And it is privileged to be able to pay its overseas bills with dollars, the currency that it alone can legally produce. Thailand would be a richer country today if the world would accept baht, and nothing but baht, in exchange for goods and services. It won’t, of course. America and the dollar are uniquely blessed. Thailand The Shrimp Importation Financing Fairness Act October 8, 2002 2002 Ron Paul 97:6 Seven foreign countries (Thailand, Vietnam, India, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, and Brazil) have taken advantage of the domestic shrimping industry’s government-created vulnerabilities. These countries have each exported in excess of 20,000,000 pounds of shrimp to the United States in the first 6 months of this year. These seven countries account for nearly 70 percent of all shrimp consumed in the United States in the first six months of this year and nearly 80 percent of all shrimp imported to this country in the same period!

Thailand Stop Subsidizing Foreign Shrimpers July 25, 2003 2003 Ron Paul 92:3 Seven foreign countries (Thailand, Vietnam, India, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, and Brazil) have taken advantage of the domestic shrimping industry’s government-created vulnerabilities.

Thailand Where is Your Money Going? 21 March 2005 Texas Straight Talk 21 March 2005 verse 7 ... Cached -$656 million for tsunami relief. As I’ve written before, Americans have sent hundreds of millions of dollars in private donations to tsunami victims. Why should we be taxed further? Why is flooding in Sri Lanka or Thailand more important than flooding in Wharton, Victoria, or Galveston, Texas?

Pauls Congressional website and is not included in this Concordance. Remember, not everything in the concordance is Ron Pauls words.
