Ron Paul: End The Fed
Quote:
Madame Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation to restore financial stability to America's economy by abolishing the Federal Reserve. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, middle and working-class Americans have been victimized by a boom-and-bust monetary policy. In addition, most Americans have suffered a steadily eroding purchasing power because of the Federal Reserve's inflationary policies. This represents a real, if hidden, tax imposed on the American people.

From the Great Depression, to the stagflation of the seventies, to the current economic crisis caused by the housing bubble, every economic downturn suffered by this country over the past century can be traced to Federal Reserve policy. The Fed has followed a consistent policy of flooding the economy with easy money, leading to a misallocation of resources and an artificial "boom" followed by a recession or depression when the Fed-created bubble bursts.
End the Fed by Ron Paul

This was Ron Paul's speech in the House of Representatives to introduce the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act, H.R. 833.

H.R. 833: To abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to... (GovTrack.us)

I admire the man's guts, that's for damned sure.

I don't think his solution will work, but he's sure as hell right that what we have now isn't working for the benefit of this society.

If people thought Ron Paul had the right ideas, they would have voted for him.

Personally, i think he's a lot of hot air...someone who claims to be opposed to earmarks, but takes earmarks for HIS constituency; and pretends to be for term limits, but keeps his own butt in his Congressional seat.

Yeah, well, ultimately, I think he's full of it and the people who think he's all that and a bag of chips just like him because he hates government and would hang Israel out to dry.

So the far reaches of the left and the white supremacists love him.

I explained BOTH of those to you in another thread, but of course you ran off after I did so.

He also explained them both, too. You do realize he votes NO on bills he adds an earmark to, right?

If he didn't keep his seat, he as the only voice that speaks out against the establishment would be gone. What good would he be if he surrendered his seat? He's the one who ORIGINATED the term limits legislation. If he were to give his seat up, how does a man like him get to proceed with his ideas? If he doesn't play by the establishment's rules, the establishment will eat him alive. He takes no congressional pension, no paid junkets, no paid healthcare. Can you say the same about YOUR rep?

How about your PRESIDENT?

Yeah skull, jillian's got the whole Paul support base narrowed down to only two types of people. Since you agree with him on some things, you're quite obviously a skin head.

And if you aren't a skin head, you're a lefty. That's it. Those are the only two things you can be.

Wait...he adds earmarks to bills he's going to vote no on, knowing full well they'll pass anyway, therefore pretending to his constituents he's honorable while he's still getting the earmarks?

And he supports term limits except on brilliant politicians such as himself?

ROTFLMAO!

If the people that think government is the problem would at least admit that corporations are just as much of a problem as corrupt government.

In fact, typically government becomes corrupt because corporations corrupted them.
