I wouldn’t have imagined.
Mr Paul has certainly instigated some lunatic fringe concepts in his time.
That being said, the one clarion call to which he has consistently insisted is an audit upon the Federal Reserve.
And I couldn’t agree more.
After years of blocking him from a leadership position, Mr.Paul’s fellow Republicans have named him chairman of the House subcommittee on domestic monetary policy, which oversees the Federal Reserve as well as the currency and the valuation of the dollar.
Perhaps the so-called “squeeky wheel” does insist upon major greasing?
He is now to lead a federal oversight committee.
Republicans had blocked Mr.Paul from leading the monetary policy panel once before, and banking executives reportedly urged them to do so again.
But Republicans on Capitol Hill increasingly recognize that Mr.Paul has a following — among his supporters from 2008 and within the Tea Party, which helped the Republicans recapture the House majority by picking up Mr.Paul’s longstanding and highly vocal opposition to the federal debt.
Conservatives have to pick up and acknowledge truth wherever and however it exists.
We must administer and utilize the tools we deign when and how we can.
And who can deny that we absolute must know where our money goes and how it is handled?
