“Arrr, Ron Paul is an isolationist surrender monkey, arrarr!”
Bernanke should resign and Congress should rein in the Fed.
To save everybody the effort I will sum up the usual replies.
Whether you hate him or despise him, you still just have to hope he dies a painful death ASAP.
There was some strange stuff going on during Bush’s last few months in office....the stimulus bill was bad enough. So, my question is...how much did the foreign banks get from the 2nd stimulus authorized by O.
Pure flat out flaming goofyness. If this lending was illegal, it would have never happened. And if it were illegal and it DID happen, let’s hear about the prosecuting authority that will step up to the plate and do something about it. None exists. There are no cops and there is generally no enforcement of law in the financial sphere. Like it or not, all those banks and many *not* on the “A” list accessed Fed credit during the worst of the crisis. The idea that Ron Paul is surprised at this has nothing to do with anything whatsoever except what Ron Paul understands. What does what Ron Paul understands have to do with anything? What does it impact? Ans: nothing.
What’s gonna happen if Mr. Paul has his hearings? Will he understand something better that he doesn’t seem to understand right now? Perhaps. Will new laws be drafted? Perhaps. Why would that be a good thing? Enactment of new law simply provides the sponsors of lobbying efforts charged with drafting those laws another opening to insert exculpatory and exclusionary gobbledygook language that protects them. And what’s worse, any such law will contain exactly zero “or else” clauses. IOW, there will not be any penalties enacted for violating these new laws, so what’s the point of drafting them other to appear busy?
Mr. Paul should spend his time trying to pass laws that say turnips should wear socks. It would have the equivalent effect.
Has he been able to pass any audit the Fed laws?
Or even better End the Fed laws?
Do people/retards in America not understand the word,”BROKE”?
Foreign banks got this money? It’s appalling.
It is becoming crystal clear that in order to regain control of our country we need to ban all Ivy League graduates from government and financial positions. And we used to think the inner city was the breeding ground for criminals! Rank amateurs compared to these arrogant b@stards.
Hearings are for obtaining votes.
Do something Paul.
What has he done to stop the fed?
Which law can he point to on the books that helps us get rid of the fed?
Just Do it!
If no one is put on trial and convicted, this amounts to nothing but a smoke and morrors show. =.=
In Washington it is only when money is spent on American citizens that objection gets raised. There is little objection to spending money in the rest of the world for war, nation building, foreign aid, factory building, trade deficits and the like.
