It's Official: Ron Paul Is Head Of Monetary Policy Subcommittee

Zero Hedge / Fox News ^ | December 9, 2010 | Tyler Durden

[Zakeet]

Despite rumors that various splinter forces within the Republican party are attempting to block Ron Paul's fateful chairmanship of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, we now have confirmation that the only sane politician left will now be Ben Bernanke's direct nemesis during any and all future Congressional spectacles starring the printing unchallenged one. And with US debt creeping ever closer to the debt ceiling, coupled with the dollar for dollar monetization of the US deficit, such spectacles will soon be plenty.

MSM: Dr, Paul, who allegedly has slapped the asses of thousands of naked babies...

[Outlaw Woman]

LoL...Yes he is a p.i.a. and no doubt will be more so in this post. You’re right, sometimes it takes a loose cannon, and in this case, the fit is perfect. The man knows what he is talking about on monetary issues.

[Lazlo in PA]

Hilarious. I can't wait for Helicopter Ben going up to be grilled. Bravo Paul.

[HospiceNurse]

Now if I can just get Christine O’Donnell appointed head of the CIA my plan will be complete!

[liberty or death]

There is a way out of this financial crisis and Ron knows it. We need to show the people the real Fed Gov for the bankrupt lying pyramid scheme that it is. Choices will need to be made to keep there asses out of jail. The socialist/feds have locked up vast tracts of land that are filled with gold, silver, copper, oil etc... Unlock opportunity! There are trillions out there and these socialists who are trying to destroy us through bankruptcy will have to show their cards. Give us free enterprise people the opportunity and you will see the biggest financial rush ever. There will be more jobs and opportunity then there are people.

It will also be eco friendly as we now have tremendous knowledge in how to do it right.

Michael, would you please chew with your mouth closed??

[abigailsmybaby]

This promises to be an immensely entertaining match up.

[servantoftheservant]

Huzzah. Let’s find out where the trillions went!

This is the one thing EVERYBODY should support Ron Paul on.

I don't agree with him on foreign policy but he is completely correct of the Fed and the money supply.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Good to see Ron Paul in charge of this committee.

I think DC just had a massive underpants soiling when this announcement was made....on both the DNC and GOP side.

[freedumb2003]

He may be a nut job, but for this he is PERFECT!

Now I feel bad about all the jokes I made about him during the Paulbot Invasion of 2008 (OK, not really).

But IMHO no one can question his fiscal Conservative bonafides.

[PA Engineer]

It’s really a far more important position than Prez, if you think about it.

agreed.

[John D]

Cut and run must feel this will help him get more earmarks, because securing earmarks is the ONLY thing he has ever accomplished in his entire time in Washington.

[John D]

the only sane politician

Cut and run has been called many things, but sane is not one of them.

[John D]

But IMHO no one can question his fiscal Conservative bonafides.

I do. Nobody who secures as many earmarks as he does is a fiscal Conservative.

[docjohn52]

I’m guessing this is going to be a classic popcorn moment.

I think Knox is empty, and has been for years, the entire pile is at the New York reserves basement, and isn’t worth counting.

I’ll be happy if they stop printing. And get fired!

[BuckeyeTexan]

Yeah, baby!
(* In my best Austin Powers voice *)

An absolutely perfect fit, IMHO. I hope he takes Bernanke to the wood shed once a month until we get an audit.

[ROTB]

At ... last.

Cut and run

Hey now, I don't remember him cutting and running from Alaska.

[roamer_1]

This is the one thing EVERYBODY should support Ron Paul on. I don't agree with him on foreign policy but he is completely correct of the Fed and the money supply.

ROTFLMAO!!! You are absolutely correct. I have never supported Paul because he cannot embrace all three factions of Conservatism, But there is NO ONE ELSE that I would prefer for this particular job. Hoo-fricken-ray!
