On C‑SPAN’s Newsmakers, he shares his concerns regarding the agency’s monetary policies. In the past, the representative has been very vocal in his criticism of the way the Fed is handled and has gone so far as to propose that it be eliminated in his latest book, “End the Fed.”
Rep. Paul also explain his agenda concerning financial issues and how they harmonize with the incoming Republican-majority’s overall agenda, as well as efforts to stimulate the sagging U.S. economy.
Ronald Reagan: "Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country."
Ron Paul is a proud Air Force veteran. He served as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force from 1963 to 1965 and then in the U.S. Air National Guard from 1965 to 1968. During his military service Ron Paul spent time on the ground in Iran, Pakistan, South Korea, Turkey, Ethiopia and other countries.
Ron Paul is very popular with the military. He receives more donations from active duty military personnel than all other Republican candidates combined.
Ron Paul has been married to his wife Carol Wells since 1957. They have five children: Ronald, Lori, Rand, Robert, and Joy. Paul's son Rand is the junior senator from the state of Kentucky.

Processing your request, Please wait....
Ron Paul is the man who will bring this country back from the brink of destruction. The neocons and progressives will try to convince the mindless majority that he’s a nut, but we need to wake them up to the truth and let them know that the 2 party system as it is isn’t working. They’ve been raping our wallets for far too long. Now we’ve got the FED completely ruining our way of life. They’ve gotten away with their crimes for far too long. It’s time they lick our boots instead. End the FED.

5:24 Dr. Paul quickly stops himself, avoids calling American People ‘Taxpayers’.
His fundamentals are sound indeed. Long live Dr. Paul!

Boo! Bad answer! The bubbles of the nineteenth century were caused by nineteenth-century central banking and other interventions into the free market — the first and second Banks of the United States, the National Banks created during the Civil War, and suspension of specie payments. There was also bimetallism, which Paul alludes to. All bubbles have the same cause — government-endorsed and protected fractional reserve banking.

ANDREW JACKSON had bigger problem than today,because every man had a gun with no cooperation in Jackson days,but we still live through generation to see today militant bankers.He still save the nation from the Masses(people) with weapon(guns) of destruction(economic death). Watch out for the IMF. The UN is behind the curtain. NATO is at the door with they founders(USA army).Lincoln would FEAR Jackson and since most love able, Jackson will rule in the hearts and minds of bankers.

Deflation would be great for We the People, but the flip of the coin is that it would Destroy the Banks and those trying to pay back Debt. The banks have no choice but to keep expanding/Inflation the money supply. So how can we make the right decission when it will destroy their well being, we are so set to Doom Mode and we won’t turn it off untill we see ourselves together here!

Yea cut spending,lets watch them starve and shipped off to the Camp FEMA for government care(bill). Weclome to the fed world Dr.paul. I do respect you, but just to let you know he is playing in the hens(chicken) pen.We should be bring the nation into one voting block and them address new monetary policy.Loses will have to be made, give up the oil field of the middle east to china,so we can avoid war with them and settle the trillion dollar death.We must then move our oil fields to other places.

let’s hear another congressman talk about economics and monetary policy with as much conviction and knowledge as Dr. Ron Paul. We won’t because congress is absolutely clueless to how a real free market capitalist economy is supposed to work. Some of them don’t even know how the Fed Works.

the problem i see is that Paul trying to tell the interviewers that the market CAN manage interest rates… the interviewers as i see it don’t know HOW a market sets interest rates and because of this lack of knowledge they can’t see how dangerous the artificial setting of interest rates are.

Look up Federal Reserve in your phone book under government listings and you will not find it. Then look it up under the local business listings and depending where you live, you will find the Fed Reserve listed on the same page as Federal Express!?!

supply-demand equilibrium. So, if one understands this, why then would an entity which can stop this process and further stimulate overconsumption and under (or even negative) savings reduce both the amount and magnitude of recessions? Recessions are, afterall, the cure for an economy. So, it’s quite comical we try so hard to avoid them in our country.
The recessions and bank runs of the 1800s were a form of market discipline on fraudulent banks.

cause another recession with further overconsumption from discoordinated prices. The gap between savings and loanable funds will appear yet again and be even wider after input prices increase and unprofitable ventures will yet again go bust.
You will have a massive “credit crunch” which is nothing but the market trying to raise interest rates to limit borrowing and stimulate savings. The market is trying to bring the amount of savings and borrowing in unison. This is nothing but

More severe recessions without central banking? lolwut; that does not logically follow.
Indeed, if interest rates are controlled absent a market, you will have a growing chasm between savings and loanable funds. Why save if I’m getting a 0-1% return? Why not borrow if I only have to pay back 0-1% plus the principle?
If you try to inflate away this deficiency between savings and loans (“injecting credit / liquidity”), you will merely bid up prices as that credit circulates. This will

The bubbles in the 1800s, which were very minor compared to modern ones, were brought on by state banks utilizing fractional reserves. You have no credit cycles if your banks aren’t allowed to rip off their customers.
The clamoring for liquidity and a central bank by the banks was so that they could continue to inflate credit and not have to face market discipline. They tried to do this through private cartels, but that failed spectacularly. The bankers understood you needed gov’t coercion.
