    Ron Paul: The Fed Spends "More Money Than the Congress Does"

    By Rocky Vega

    12/10/10 Baltimore, Maryland – This morning, Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) held his first interview since being appointed chair of the House Monetary Policy Subcommittee. From what he says in the video below, he’s going “to think things through and not overdo things too soon,” but ultimately plans to stick to his guns, and “emphasize the oversight of the Federal Reserve.”

    He also points out why he views his new role as important in these times…

    “Obviously, it is very popular with the American people to audit the Fed and know what they’re doing when they can spend trillions of dollars and we don’t know where it goes. They have a bigger budget; they spend more money than the Congress does. Yet, we have no oversight. It was never intended that a secret body like this could create money out of thin air spend to take care of some banks and big business and foreign banks and the American people struggle? We have to look into it and we have to start to consider reforms.”

    You can see and hear more details in the clip below, which came to our attention via Bloomberg Television in its recent exclusive interview with Ron Paul.

    A further note to "Ron Paul's Moment" Ron Paul: The Fed Spends "More Money Than the Congress Does"  Ron_paul

    Exerts from Bloomberg Businessweek's ~ most recent interview and article on Ron Paul;

    It has taken Ron Paul 34 years to arrive at this moment and he does not intend to squander it. During that time GOP leaders have been "working to keep me away from this".

    ..."says Representative Bill Posey, a Florida Republican and unabashed Paul fan. "The depth of his knowledge on monetary policy, his understanding of it all, is second to known."

    Posey nominated the Fed bill for "best legislation" award by House Republican freshmen this year. The bill, calling for a government audit of Fed operations, including its monetary policy decisions, won unanimously. Even though a watered down version included in the financial regulation law enacted in July. Paul wants to give the audit measure another shot and is counting on a new, high profile perch to do so. "traditionally, this subcommittee has been very insignificant," Paul says "I'm absolutely going to change that."
    cheers
