Why is it that not even Ron Paul has ask this very simple question of the Pro Fed people?.....That question is:Do you agree with the methods used in creating the Federal Reserve?

Their answer would instantly shed light on ones true intentions,and spiritual convictions.

Ron Paul’s problem is obvious when he talks about his own "economics" – weird statements that are apolitical when he talks of politics and clearly "uneconomics" when he talks about this sophisticated or erudite science of economics. Weirdo speeches like 911 should be blamed on us the American people and not on Al Qaeda or Muslim terrorists that perpetrated the carnage because we went to the lion’s lair in the Middle East as "invaders" (similar to Osama bin Laden’s jihad statement) or his recent odd public statements at CPAC on Iraq and Afghanistan and national security. It was so bizarre that YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) kicked him out of the National Advisory Board … for "his delusional and disturbing alliance with the fringe Anti-War movement …" And Libertarians from the left that are campaigning for 2012 this early want him to become president of a United States without a Central Bank or Federal Reserves, only with a stay-home foreign policy, without an IRS, and without a government, in a stateless society!

The public had probably noticed that no economist in his right mind pays attention to the Congressman’s incessant attacks of the Federal Reserve. Printing money he said does not create jobs. What economist would say that it does? Anyway, being chairman of the sub- committee of Congress that oversees the Fed is a good opportunity for the idol of emotional Anarcho-Libertarians to learn what the Fed technically does to the national economy … why and how to regulate interest rates, how, why and when to intervene in a greed-dominated free market system, why inflation is a yes-and-no of economics, how jobs are created and/or busted in a period of stagflation, etc. etc. That’s a long hard years of learning in the academe, not in a wink of an eye, from the street side university of hard knocks. But Dr. Ron Paul is a nice guy. Legions like him as a person. Let’s not switch off the light on him. We need a model of the likes of him to stay in the limelight according to the exigency and fault of the time.

I agree with your comments Ron. But it is also true that the boom and bust cycles are partly the result of regulatory interference and tax policy,
