Ron Paul addresses Congress
Channel: C-SPAN

By tmartin on February 23, 2009

In his latest column Ron Paul announces that he will soon introduce legislation requiring an audit of the Federal Reserve.

Date: 02/13/2009
Transcript:
Ron Paul: “I just left the House floor and I voted against the so-called stimulus package. Obviously, it’s not going to stimulate anything other than the growth of big government.
