Commenting on the possible Wall Street meltdown, the two politicians also expressed opposite opinions.

“I don’t think that’s at all likely. I think what is likely to happen is just as the U.S. led the fall into recession it will likely lead the recovery out. Economists predict recovery toward the end of this year, or beginning of next year,” John Bolton said.

“I think it’s melted down pretty well already. And the melting down will continue unless we change our ways. We can expect this problem not to last for a year or two but for a decade or two,” Ron Paul warned.

The other subject on the agenda was a sum of over a trillion dollars more aid aimed to help the economy.

“Economists from across the world have warned if we don’t act immediately millions of more jobs will be lost,” John Bolton stressed.

“It’s the wrong kind of stimulus. I think it’s the most foolish trend we’ve been involved in throughout our whole history,” Ron Paul said.

Obama’s latest decision to send 17,000 more troops into Afghanistan also worries the politicians.

“I think it’s a sound decision, to increase the troop levels,” John Bolton said.

“I think it’s an outrage. Right now we’ve suffered the most because we’re paying for our foreign intervention overseas, but foreign policy doesn’t change with Democrats or Republicans, they are all interventionists, they all believe in the world empire,” Ron Paul said.
