It's Official: Ron Paul Is Head Of Monetary Policy Subcommittee
Zero Hedge / Fox News ^ | December 9, 2010 | Tyler Durden

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.

Well in the very least we will all be entertained while we are standing in soup lines and losing our homes.

I hope Paul is a monumental pain in the ass. Bernake...you belong behind bars.

Dr. Paul is far from sane, but this is the perfect role for him.

Ron Paul is INSANE and plays games ( he rails against pork, yet takes loads of earmarks, which he votes against, when the Bills come up, but which always pass ), and should have NEVER been given this position.

I wonder WHO was behind this.

Ron Paul is a monumental pain in the ass. I just hope he doesn't get carried away, which he will, of course. Yet sometimes it takes a loose cannon when the opposition is so thoroughly entrenched.

It’s really a far more important position than Prez, if you think about it.

We need to know if we should have any confidence in the Fed Reserve to act wholely in the interest of the people of the USA and not in the least bit for the interests of international bankers.

Dr. Paul, he’s ready to operate on the Federal Reserve. Yes
