So what does this actually mean?

What can he do as chairman that he couldn't do before as a committee member?

What results do you see realistically coming out of this?

[BIG_J]

Life is strange. In 2007 this seemed so far away, and now, almost inevitable.

"he's catching on. I'm telling ya!"

At first it was the really small victories, then, the small, then he was on tv all the time during rands election.

Now it's starting to feel somewhat normal we are winning.

I only hope it continues!

[Brett85]

So did the house GOP vote today to make Ron the chairman of this subcommittee? I thought they were voting on this in January?

[LisaNY]

Great news!!!!

Hey, does anyone here know the Judge? On his show tonight he said that the proposed unemployment extension will give an additional 13 months to the people who have already received 99 weeks. That is NOT true. It is only for the people who have exceeded 26 weeks but have not yet hit the 99 week mark.

I love the judge but someone needs to brief him on these bills before he comments on them. The left especially will use these inaccuracies to smear him.

The Judge has a professionally done show with researchers and writers. Contacting the Judge won't do anything. You're better off contacting the producer of the show who is part of the revolution. http://twitter.com/#!/the_producer14

Look at those girly manicured fingernails!

[Brett85]

It's surprising that Ron is going to vote for the tax compromise. I figured that he would vote against it because of the unemployment benefits.

[cswake]

Same. I think the Judge was surprised too...

It's surprising that Ron is going to vote for the tax compromise. I figured that he would vote against it because of the unemployment benefits.

Don't you get it? If he doesn't vote for it he is essentially voting for a tax increase with the 1. 1. 2011. He said it loud and clear that he objects to all the rest of the shit they threw in there but he just thinks it's a lesser evil or burden then having the Bush tax cuts expire. You can thank the rest of the house and the president for not being willing to pass a bill that would only extend the cuts.

[Eric21ND]

I'm surprised Ron would vote for that bill too.

[Lucille]

Thank God!

Congratulations, Dr. Paul! You've waited decades to get to this point, and you've earned it.

It's the beginning of the End of the Fed.

[Kacela]

Sweet!
Dr. Paul may actually be able to more in this position than he'd probably be able to as President!

I wasn't saying that I disagree with Ron. It's just that Ron usually votes against bills that have bad things included in them. I doubt if he's ever voted for unemployment benefits before.

WTF!!! Why doesn't the judge call him on his lies. Wikileaks hasn't released a single fking name that could now be targeted. Even the pentagon said no one is in danger because of wikileaks. How, how, how, fking how and fking why doesn't he say that??!?

I wasn't saying that I disagree with Ron. It's just that Ron usually votes against bills that have bad things included in them. I doubt if he's ever voted for unemployment benefits before.

I've heard him say multiple times that he'd be willing to fund benefits/entitlement programs as long as the spending goes down. (Cut $10 billion overseas, $5 billion to Unemployment, Save $5 billion) Can't say I recollect him speaking of a situation where is faced with a tax hike + no benefits vs tax cut + benefits.

I can understand that either vote is a bad one, and the tax cut seems to be a better net benefit... although I wonder why he just doesn't openly not vote since both options are "bad"?

[RCA]

Pardon my ignorance, but other than asking the Fed tons of questions, what else can he do in this position?

[cswake]

Can conduct subpoenas for books & records.

[osan]

they will just charge Ron Paul with rape in texas for having sex with his wife without a condom!!!

Sex by surprise in TX.

Of course, sex at his age might well in fact be a surprise.

[PermanentSleep]

Hugeeeeeeeeee WIN.

[osan]

It's the beginning of the End of the Fed.

I wouldn't count those chickens quite yet. If perchance the Fed were to come to such an end, you'd better be plenty concerned about what it is that will be taking its place. Do not for a moment think that such instruments of power go quietly into the night.

Disregard at your own peril.

ZH: It's Official: Ron Paul Is Head Of Monetary Policy Subcommittee (http://www.zerohedge.com/article/its-official-ron-paul-head-monetary-policy-subcommittee)


Despite rumors that various splinter forces within the Republican party are attempting to block Ron Paul's fateful chairmanship of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, we now have confirmation that the only sane politician left will now be Ben Bernanke's direct nemesis during any and all future Congressional spectacles starring the printing unchallenged one. And with US debt creeping ever closer to the debt ceiling, coupled with the dollar for dollar monetization of the US deficit, such spectacles will soon be plenty.

[Lucille]

how long will Dr. Paul be running that committee?

House GOP weighing term limits for leadership posts (http://thehill.com/homenews/house/131281-house-gop-weighing-term-limits-for-leadership-posts)


A six-year term limit on leadership posts would be consistent with the House GOP’s conference policy on chairmanships and ranking-member positions. Republicans in the lower chamber cannot serve in a committee’s top perch for more than six years unless they obtain a waiver.

[UtahApocalypse]

Can conduct subpoenas for books & records.

What worries me is he said subpoenas have to be agreed on by the speaker.... he may have the chair but u have a feeling he will be held on a leash
