Here is Ron Paul on his take on our interventionist and unconstitutional foreign policy:

The American State
There may be someone else from another party in the Oval Office, but the approaches to foreign and domestic policy appear to be the same in slightly different clothing.

No Matter Who Wins In Novemberf....
Chances are you will be electing a Hamiltonian socialist disguised as a "Republican" or "Democrat."

We Should Heed Mr. Jefferson's Words:
"Have nothing to do with conquest" was what Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1791:
"If there be one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American," Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1791, "it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest." We are here today because our bipartisan governing elite and its media apologists have turned Mr. Jefferson on his head to America’s detriment. Today’s leaders in both parties unrelentingly intervene in the affairs of other nations and regions, and, by all appearances, care not a damn about preserving America’s independence. These individuals aspire to be celebrated citizens of the world, believing that being an American citizen is a hum-drum affair best left to the rest of us who pay for their imperial aspirations and interventionist wars with our taxes and soldier-children.
Mr. Jefferson certainly hit the bulls-eye. Unfortunately, our ruling elites, from both establishment political parties have been exporting a lot of male bovine excrement to we peasants.

Why Is It...
That the State has this penchant for making economic problems worse?
So what does Washington do? In an act of incredible stupidity, Congress has passed an extension of unemployment benefits. The old rule remains true: if you subsidize something, you get more of it. So this will give us more unemployment. No question about that. It will thereby worsen and prolong the problem.
It takes only a second of economic logic to see why. In a recessionary environment, we need freer, not more socialized, labor markets. Business needs to be able to hire workers at lower prices. You don’t want to increase the cost of hiring; you want to reduce it, especially with unemployment rising. Instead, Congress loots the workers of this country in order to prevent people from entering the job market.
This is not only stupid; it is highly dangerous. Britain tried this in the 1930s, and more than any other action, this contributed to the high unemployment rates that fueled socialist political movements, which led to the destruction of that economy. It could do the same here in the United States.
The economy works best when it is left alone.
