Wouldn't that be the nail in the coffin, for the panicked Progressive Global Snowflakes, running around like chickens, with their heads cut off. I'm not being party specific either.


That would be AWESOME!!!

He would not be, by any measure, the worst person who has been Chairman of the Fed.

Also, the Chair of the Fed is simply the head of the Board of Governors.

It also isn't clear to me, as someone who is quite liberal, why Ron Paul would be a bad pick.

It is quite clear to me that Ron Paul would never accept the position, as his first religion is the Austrian School of economics. He has written books on the matter that touch on this.

I believe that if you were at all familiar with the basic operations of the Fed, monetary policy, or Ron Paul's general philosophy, you would find liberals having the last laugh.

Especially because, you know... The Federal Reserve sets monetary policy for the United States alone.

Perhaps you have confused the Fed with the IMF?

When did Ron Paul become an economist? Oh, that's right you people think that subject matter expertise is a negative quality.

Everyone saw the 2008 crash coming. I was working in banking litigation for years at that time, and it was news to no one.

It just so happens that we Americans are, to a vast majority, willfully ignorant of finance and economics.

In much the same way that I am only interested in seeing a zombie apocalypse on television, I would be equally fascinated to watch Ron Paul handle the financial disasters of those years.

Would he end it?

That's the only logical position.

Ending the whole State would be nice but dreams rarely come true.

Why?

I would love to hear your in-depth analysis of the banking system. The banking industry as a whole vehemently disagrees with your position, but don't let that stop you.
