Ron Paul on the Census 2010
Census: A Little Too Personal
by Ron Paul
Last week Congress voted to encourage participation in the 2010 census. I voted “No” on this resolution for the simple, obvious reason that the census – like so many government programs – has grown far beyond what the framers of our Constitution intended. The invasive nature of the current [...]
Ron Paul Exposes Bizarre Spending Habits at the Federal Reserve & State Department
Bizarre Spending Habits
by Ron Paul
Last week I had the opportunity to bring up spending and transparency in two important hearings. On Wednesday I questioned Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on some highly questionable uses of funds at the Federal Reserve, and on Thursday I asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about exorbitant spending at the [...]
One Year After The Stimulus: Less Jobs, More Taxes, Bigger Government
One year after the launch of Obama’s stimulus package it has become painfully obvious that the stimulus’s declared goals have all failed: Unemployment has grown to 10%, the economy is worse off, and tax hikes are on the way.

Why the Fed Likes Independence
by Ron Paul
Last week it was revealed that when Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve, he urged AIG officials not to disclose to the Securities Exchange Commission relevant details of agreements with banks to bail out Goldman Sachs. Apparently he felt at the time that [...]
The Federal Reserve Needs Honesty, Transparency and Accountability
Congressman Ron Paul issued the following statement regarding recent revelations that then New York Fed Chair Timothy Geithner urged AIG to avoid disclosing to the SEC details of agreements with banks that bailed out credit default swap counterparties such as Goldman Sachs:
“The new details revealed today regarding AIG’s bailout in 2008 come as no surprise [...]
