Fi-Fie-Fed-Foe! (ap)
Ron Paul is back! And all up in the Fed’s face! The congressman from Texas yesterday persuaded the House Financial Services Committee to enforce audits on the Federal Reserve — which really, really does not want audits. And certainly not on their interest rate decisions — harumph! Notes the LAT:
“If we get the audit and get the books open, make them answer the questions, I am convinced that the American people will be so outraged that then we will have reform of the monetary system,” Paul has said.
Hmm. Well, maybe they would and maybe they wouldn’t. The American people can be pretty choosy with their stronger emotions. In any case, — Ron Paul! He was in Iowa recently, raising speculation about another run for president. Beltway Confidential looks forward to hearing from more impassioned college students about the virtues of the gold standard.
Still, the garrulous gyno told IowaPolitics.com that running for president is just not on his radar.
“It’s not on my mind, it’s too early, and I will be filing for my congressional seat,” Paul said. “I don’t have any plans made.”
Right. But then he talked about health care reform, Afghanistan, the failures of the Republican Party, and reducing the size of the goverment. Mm-hmm.
