Secretary of the Treasury, Ron Paul.
This has been thrown out there a few times already as a possibility in Gringrich’s cabinet. I think it sounds good: what does anyone else think?
Agree. I too suggested a while back Ron Paul for Secretary of Treasury or Fed Chairman.
If for one minute I beleived Gingrich would put that lunatic alterPaul in any cabinet position of power anywhere - I will not vote for him.
Sounds good to me.
Sounds great.
I don’t know why Newt does not run with this. In any case, Newt is in my prayers.
More like Treasurer of the United States.
Check out a dollar bill - two signatures.
Secretary of the Treasury = Federal Reserve
Treasurer of the United States = united States of America
Chairman of the Fed, Ron Paul.
I think that on one narrow issue, the incestuous nature of the Treasury and Fed surrounding debt auctions, it would be a good thing if someone who hates the Fed as much as Paul does were SecTreas. We’d see an end to the under-the-table deals between the Treasury and Fed to mask just how bad our debt situation is.
On the other hand, I don’t think he knows enough about the financial markets to prevent from being gamed by the investment banks.

I honestly think that any president-elect who selected Ron Paul for anything would catch h-e-double hockey sticks. While a Treasury position wouldn't directly affect our foreign policy, the sad fact is that Paul subscribes to "international banker" conspiracy theories that are classically anti-Semitic and you better believe that some of his supporters are out-and-out anti-Semites.
I’d be ok with that.
