Retiring New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, one of the Federal Reserve's most stalwart Republican supporters, showed up for a meeting at the central bank in November bearing a surprising gift: a box of End the Fed books. As he handed out the 2009 best seller by Representative Ron Paul, a longtime Fed critic, Gregg told the gathering it would be worth reading to see what the other side is plotting.
Hahaha, maybe one of the central bankers will be persuaded...

Gregg laid plain a new Washington reality: Moderate, probusiness lawmakers like him, who consistently protected the central bank's independence and ability to set monetary policy, are mostly gone. In their place are politicians who view the Fed with suspicion, or worse.

Boehner's in a pickle...lol


"Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does. If Boehner, who will help determine who gets to chair subcommittees as early as Dec. 8, rejects Paul, he may have to contend with thousands of grassroots supporters and dozens of younger lawmakers who see Paul as a hero."

His prediction may be premature. Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does. If Boehner, who will help determine who gets to chair subcommittees as early as Dec. 8, rejects Paul, he may have to contend with thousands of grassroots supporters and dozens of younger lawmakers who see Paul as a hero. Boehner, through a spokesman, declined to comment. "A lot of the older members probably think Ron is a little bit out of step," 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 none."

Posey nominated Paul's famed audit-the-Fed bill for a "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 was 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."

end on a brighter note

This is absolute b.s. and should get its own thread. We need to do something about this either now or right after they pull this insult off:

IMO there's no way Ron doesn't get this chair. Hell, it's obvious even to the likes of one Judd Gregg.

Like I theorized before, Ron's announcement that he was gonna get the chair was a pre-emptive strike to prevent this from happening.

I was thinking the same thing.

someone needs to fix the error in the book where it says Jefferson ended the central bank in 1811. It was Madison who ended the central bank in 1811. The error was in the hard copy, and was not corrected in the softcover!

[TheTyke]

They WILL rob us if they possible can. These Republican $#^$#^@s are no better than the Democrats... we need to spread the word far and wide in addition to what Ron has already done on the media.

[sluggo]

You mean Bailout Boner wouldn't want Ron to be chairman? Get out of here!

It all makes sense now.... Pay attention, this is how you get paid off later for doing stuff like fighting auditing the federal reserve:
