You just have to admire Ron Paul for his tenacity and non-flip-flopping straightforwardness—a breath of fresh air in the putrid morass of Washington—even if you disagree with his policies. And while he still can, before retiring from Congress, he is slugging at the Fed again. This time, as Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology. The committee, which has oversight authority over the Fed, will convene on Tuesday to weigh six bills to “Reform or Abolish” the Federal Reserve, including his Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act. From the press release:
While his efforts to abolish the Fed have been fruitless, he scored a huge victory—after years of trying, and being shunted aside by members of Congress—when his legislation to slap the Fed with an audit was included in the Dodd-Frank Act. It made possible not just one but two audits of the Federal Reserve System by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Though limited in scope, they nevertheless allowed a few rays of sunshine to pierce the Fed’s plantation shutters and illuminate some of the shenanigans, including octopus-like conflicts of interests that twisted their arms around everything during the multi-trillion-dollar bailout mania between 2007 and 2009. For some gory details, read.... The GAO Audit of the Fed Doesn’t Call It ‘Corruption’ but it should."More and more people are beginning to understand just how destructive the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has been. I hope that this hearing will kick start a serious discussion on the need to rein in the Fed,” said Chairman Paul. “100 years is far too long for Congress to have taken a hands-off approach. The Fed continues to reward Wall Street banks while destroying the dollar’s purchasing power and driving up the cost of living for average Americans. This reckless behavior must come to an end."
and
Instead, the Fed makes sure the money is there. Thus, campaigns can go on unperturbed, while the future of America is threatened by huge deficits and a gross national debt that will reach 120% of GDP possibly by 2014—a level that Italy is struggling with today. The Fed’s near-zero interest rate policy and monetization of the deficit shield Congress from the harsh but medicinal discipline of the markets—a medicine Congress fears more than anything else. And so, lawmakers will brush off Ron Paul’s efforts to slug at the Fed one more time, before he retires.
Here is an insanely awesome and hilarious cartoon by Ben Garrison on how Ron Paul is shedding light on the horrid creatures “underneath” the Fed.

Ron Paul won most Maine, Nevada, and Iowa delegates. They also removed many "establishment" seats and replaced them with their own people.
Romney Campaign supporters were also caught (in Maine) passing out counterfeit ballots. Some of the trouble makers were escorted out of the building.

Ron Paul's Hearing to Ask: Mend or End the Fed?... Defenders of Ben Bernanke may be hard to come by in at least one gathering Tuesday on Capitol Hill. Ron Paul, the Republican congressman with libertarian positions who is still running for president, will host the much-hyped hearing titled, "The Federal Reserve System: Mend It or End It?" Mr. Paul, who heads the House panel that oversees America's central bank, has made a career for himself arguing the latter and the central bank is beyond fixing. (The congressman's 2009 book is also titled "End the Fed.") Witnesses include Rep. Kevin Brady (R., Texas), who has introduced legislation to eliminate the Fed's dual mandate of promoting maximum employment and price stability. Mr. Brady opposed much of Mr. Bernanke's efforts to stimulate the economy by pumping money into it. He would rather the Fed just focus on inflation. Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.), who will also testify, has his own issues with the Fed. He feels the central bank spends too much time worrying about inflation and should be more proactive in curing the hangover from last decade's recession. – AP
Dominant Social Theme: Ron Paul? Isn't he a political non-factor ... ?
Free-Market Analysis: Ron Paul, libertarian-conservative candidate for US president just won't quit. In fact, he keeps grabbing delegates and is threatening to deprive putative GOP nominee Mitt Romney of a first-round nomination.
Now he is holding a hearing today on the US Federal Reserve – a private/public monopoly-fiat central bank that he has helped expose as one of the leading causes of the current economic depression in the Western World.
