Ron Paul Is About to Totally Revolutionize the House Monetary Policy Panel
Wonder what the Chamber of Commerce thinks of this?? :rofl:

The TRUE teabagger, not the fake C of C fronts..............

Odds are you haven’t heard of the monetary policy subcommittee. Officially known as the House Subcommittee for Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, it’s a subdivision of the House Financial Services Committee that has mostly occupied itself with pressing questions of issuing commemorative coins and whether or not to eliminate the penny.

That’s about to change. Ron Paul, the Republican Congressman from Texas, is the ranking member of the monetary policy subcommittee, and when the next Congress takes over he’ll likely be the chairman of the subcommittee.

.........snip.............

“I will approach that committee like no one has ever approached it because we’re living in times like no one has ever seen,” Paul said in an interview with NetNet Thursday.

Paul said his first priority will be to open up the books of the Federal Reserve to the American people.

1. Well, he can try.
I figure it will be one long long dance.
Bernanke and Timmy at experts at stalling.

3. David Sirota said Ron Paul was a key ally on several of Bernie Sanders proposals.
The Republics don't have a clue what they've unleashed with the Teapotty.

If nothing else, the next two years are going to be interesting.

5. I agree it will be interesting. But I think it is also so sad. The teapartyers will
get stopped and that will make them and their followers feel more persecuted.

4. Good luck. Bernie Sanders fought for thaat same thing & finally got a marginal
audits. I actully do wish Ron Paul good luck with this. Unfortunately, I suspect his own Pubbies will fight him on it.

6. yeah, Ron Paul has a great brain when it comes to his ideas on the Federal Reserve.
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 11:32 PM by truedelphi
But the "New Tea Party" is not so much about those ideas as the Bait and Switch.

As in "Vote for us, cuz we are gonna change the way the Fed is handled."

And then once they get in, it will be, "Tax cuts for the rich, and ending Social Security and Food stamps" and then, "Who in the world needs to audit the Fed when it has helped the Big players on Wall Street so much!"
