Wait a minute. Paul was supposed to be a new voice. He is the only one that is fiscally conservative and doesn't play the stupid game the pork barrel spending. . . ah. . . er. . well maybe he does after all. |
Nobody is perfect, especially in politics, but Paul is right on about the Federal Reserve. Due to the people Obama has placed around him it is obvious that they will not get rid of the Federal Reserve (something that most people don't even understand why it needs to be done in the first place), but with all this new so-called "change" and "transparency" the LEAST they could do is at least make the FED open up it's books... that would be a start...
