Dr. Ron Paul has long been a leading voice for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, sound money, civil liberty, and non-interventionist foreign policies.

His last term in the U.S. House of Representatives ended earlier this year, so we caught up with the former Congressman to get his latest perspective on how successfully our national leadership is dealing with Americas economic challenges.

In Dr. Pauls assessment, Washington is too committed to deficit spending and the debt-based economy both operationally and philosophically to expect it to embrace a more fiscally-responsible model without a forcing crisis (which he believes is coming):

[T]hey believe it like a religion that spending is good no matter what the spending is on. And that the deficits don't matter; deficits are not a burden. And even though we have this national debt and we have a foreign debt, they don't consider that so bad, as long as people will spend money. And if the people won't spend any money, the government has this moral obligation to do it.

I don't expect anything else because they are reflecting what I consider prevailing attitudes. And the prevailing attitudes for the last 50 or 60 years, especially since the 1930s, has been spending and deficits and printing money is the way to go.

But where I am encouraged is outside of Washington. You get a better perspective from people like you who talk about this and get people to look at their investments. I think this is beneficial, because a lot of people are realizing this whole system is deeply flawed, and they are looking elsewhere. And that is why I talk a lot about free markets, and property rights, and Austrian economics, and getting rid of the Fed. All these things are now up for grabs. A lot of people, especially the young people, are looking at this. So, for this reason, I am a bit encouraged by what might come out of this.

But I think we are going to go through the ringer. I think it's going to get much, much worse. It is bad enough already, but there is no way that we can step back.

Edward Snowden, the man who claims to be the source of a series of recent high-profile national security leaks, may also be a fan of former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas.

According to FEC records, a man named Edward Snowden made two separate contributions, of $250 each, to Paul's 2012 presidential campaign, once in March and once in May.

The first contribution is attributed to an Edward Snowden in Columbia, Md., who is listed as an employee of Dell. According to the Guardian, the paper to which Snowden first brought his information, and which has subsequently been working with him, Dell is among the companies for which Snowden has worked as a contractor in recent years. It has also been reported that Snowden's family lives in Ellicott City, Md., which is next to Columbia, Md.

The second donation, about two months later, comes out of Waipahu, Hawaii. Snowden was working at an NSA office in Hawaii until May. According to the NSA's website, it has offices in Honolulu, which is about 14 miles from Waihapu.

The Guardian quotes Snowden as saying he voted for a third party candidate in 2008, though he did not identify the party or the candidate. Paul, a staunch libertarian who has vigilantly pursued issues surrounding civil liberties, ran for the Republican Party presidential nomination in 2008 and 2012.

CBS News has not been in touch with Snowden, and cannot confirm definitively that he made these donations. Other people named Edward Snowden are listed as having made political contributions, according to the FEC filings, but none of those profiles appear to match that of the Guardian source.
