Ron Paul Wants to End the Fed, So the GOP Puts Him in Charge of the Fed
For the past few years I’ve been watching Ron Paul’s rise to power with a gut-wrenching sense of inevitability; despite his overtly racist newsletters, insane economic theories, and associations with extremists and conspiracy wackos of all kinds, from the John Birch Society to Alex Jones, his star just keeps rising in the Republican Party.
And now he’s going to be the head of the House subcommittee that oversees monetary policy (read: the Federal Reserve), despite his openly stated wish to conduct an “audit” (read: a fishing expedition) with the ultimate goal of completely dismantling the Fed: Ron Paul vows renewed Fed audit push next year.
Exit question: is it weird enough yet?
