There's no membership card required to see the truth in some of the issues being raised by Dr. Paul. His assesment of the FED is spot on. His opinions on foreign policy are rather shocking at first, but they begin to make sense when viewed within the historical context of the past 100 years; when corporatist/communists subjugated soveriegn individual freedom for the worship of, and obedience to, the collective politicaly correct, hive.

Though the plutocracy were unable to control the Democratic Party as they controlled the Republican Party, they did not cease their efforts to control both and in 1904 and 1924, Morgan was able to sit back with a feeling of satisfaction to watch presidential elections in which the candidates of both parties were in his sphere of influence.

The goal of H.R. 2755 is quite specific:

Scissors cuts CreditCard.

Fortunately, Congressman Ron Paul has introduced legislation to restore financial stability to America's economy by abolishing the Federal Reserve.

I believe Phil Gramm put it best several years ago when asked about Paul's bills- they are so poorly written and lack any details of how to achieve the goals, most never make it out of committee. Or, as William F. Buckley put it (he paraphrased another quote by Ayn Rand), ..all theory, no teeth (substance)... Paul loves to say ‘get rid of the Fed’ as the solution to the problems, yet his solution is to go to an Austrian Economic theory system. He claims that this will end all these ups and downs, yet he is ignorant that the Mises-Hayek business cycle theory specifically states that not only will you have recessions and depressions, they are regularly required. The market would replace the fed. In theory, it would be better as the ultimate free market, but people, including Paul are deluding themselves into thinking it will eliminate these ‘problems’ we are having now; it would only shift the responsibility. Mises himself even said this principle would only work in a ‘closed system’- which I guess makes sense considering Paul's isolationist tendencies.
