What a fool. He’s making a joke of himself, and he’s the only one who doesn’t get it.
Didn’t Andrew Jackson do pretty much the same thing towards the end of his presidency? Killed the Federal bank, but it made no difference, or just wasn’t the threat that he believed it to be?
Right, because, I mean, we need a federal agency to set the price of money. That jives really well with the rest of our "conservative" beliefs.
There, fixed it.
Really, since I don't see any other Congressmen proposing this, I'd say he is the only one who understands the big picture.

I’m glad Ron Paul is up front about this kind of thing. He talks such a good game and brings so many good issues into discussion that if he concealed the nutty finance and isolationist international ideas he might get elected.
I'd suggest you read a bit more. Start with Whatever Happened to Penny Candy? Next pick up the Anti-Federalist Papers, then Bastiat, and continue on through von Mises, Chodorof and Rothbard.
You’re the only one that doesn’t get it. :o(
No, Andy, YOU are the one who “doesn’t GET it.”
And, thanks to folks such as yourself, America continues its slide into the abyss of an elite controlled state socialism.
Do you know why these clowns in DC no longer listen to us? It’s because they no longer NEED us to finance the purchase of the chains our kids and grandkids will wear. Except to suck excess currency and credit out of the economy every April 15th, they don’t need OUR “money:” THEY PRINT ALL THEY NEED VIA THEIR HANDMAIDENS AT THE FED.
The Founding Fathers understood the danger of a central bank and TRIED to prevent what we have allowed to happen here.
Sorry you do not.
I must note that your position on monetary matters appears to be contradictory to the view expressed in your tagline.
Suffice it to note that inflation of currencies is directly related to uneconomic investments, of which war is the prime example, whether that war be on foreign armies or domestic targets.
Of course, the “price of aggression” is cheap when the debt is left for others to pay.
I’m not a Ron Paul supporter - he refuses to acknowledge the historical world - international politics is not a board-game.
However, American-style socialism, of which the Fed is an integral part, is doomed to fail, just like the other socialist models. Why would anyone believe any differently?
The House Jester. His popularity simply demonstrates how ignorant most Americans are. The same morons who loved Perot are licking this nonsense up.
Did you hear the joke about Bush and the GOP shoving amnesty & NAU down our throats?

Yeah but, unlike the left, we reject our nutroots.
Paul is many things, possibly including politically naive, but "fool" is not one of them.
