It's Official: Ron Paul Is Head Of Monetary Policy Subcommittee
Zero Hedge / Fox News ^ | December 9, 2010 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 12/08/2010 10:48:50 PM PST by 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.

Exactly what I was thinking.
THIS is where he belongs, and nearly the ONLY place he belongs. If he manages to sublimate himself in this position, all the other oddball positions will evaporate.
He won’t be diverted into them anymore.

“The socialist/feds have locked up vast tracts of land that are filled with gold, silver, copper, oil etc... Unlock opportunity!”

You got it right. Get rid of the filthy eco-fascists, sell and open up the federal lands to mining and exploration and we’ll see a huge economic boom.

A good start would be life in prison for every policy maker and shyster at the fascist EPA.

Awesome.

Sometimes it hurts to pull the splinter out,
but if you leave it in, infection is inevitable.

You may be right.
He may be crazy.
Oh, but it just might be a loooonatic we’re looking for!

A side note on McCarthy for those who don’t know. (Not you.)

Joe McCarthy was a Senator. So he was not on the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA/HUAC). He was not involved with the Hollywood investigations.

Dr. Paul is far from sane, but this is the perfect role for him.

Well said.

Thank you.

I’m amazed that people here still buy into the Evil McCarthy meme.

I’m familiar with this. My point is: McCarthy went off the deep end partly becasue of his alcoholism. He was right on the money about most of what he exposed, but at the end, he became delusional.

For the past 40 years, the dems have repeated lies to cover their treasonous butts. Most folks take those lies as gospel despite history proving McCarthy right.

I would hope RP will take a measured approach to the FED. They are a powerful bunch of greedy thugs who think nothing of destorying or offing someone.

We have got to get control of our government. Riening in the FED is a high priority.

It has long been said, somewhat jokingly, “435 to Ron Paul”.
Now it will be painfully obvious, if there is any truth to the rumor.

Frankly, I hope he succeeds wildly in ripping the guts out of the fed, and laying the history out for all to see. Oversight of every dollar the government collects, and expenditures only with the approval of the Constitution of the United States of America, is for me job one and two.

McCarthy was 100% Correct.

Been ready for the bumperstickers and billboards.

He was a constant target of the left for YEARS. Brutal nasty attacks.
I’d be drinking or medicated too.

After I read the Venona Secrets, I made it a personal mission in my life to correct every mistruth about McCarthy that I encounter on the Internet. I’ve even posted corrections to the Huffies.
