From 1975 to 1978, Roberts served on the congressional staff. As economic counsel to Congressman Jack Kemp,[5] he drafted the Kemp-Roth bill (which became the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981). He served as economic counsel to Senator Orrin Hatch,[6] The Wall Street Journal editor Robert L. Bartley offered him an editorial slot. He wrote for the WSJ until 1980.[7] He was a senior fellow in political economy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, then part of Georgetown University.[5]
From early 1981 to January 1982, Roberts served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy.

During his time in the Reagan administration, Roberts became known as Washington DC's "most zealous" proponent of supply-side economics, and his concern about U.S. budget deficits led him into conflict with other Reagan-era officials such as Martin Feldstein and David Stockman.[16] He is a critic of the Federal Reserve System and central banking in general.[17] He has also promoted conspiracy theories that the 9/11 attacks and the Charlie Hebdo attack were false flag operations.[18][19] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Craig_Roberts
