Paul Ryan is a leader for sound money

[Bradley in DC]

Those who know me, know that monetary policy is one of, if not the, most important issues to me. I'm not saying Paul Ryan doesn't have his faults (he does) or that I agree with all of his votes (I don't), but of the universe of people in Congress in my lifetime who have advocated for sound money, there are way too few. Paul Ryan has always been on that short list. Of those, along with Ron Paul, Paul Ryan has been a leader for many years by introducing bills to limit and reform the Fed. That, at least, I'm happy about (there has to be some silver lining, right?).

I think they call that pandering when they don't really mean it.

Hell, even Rick Perry called the Federal Reserve's policies treason.

At least he's going that extra mile to pretend he gives a crap what we think

If your looking for a silver lining after being completely shat on by these people, you have bigger problems than you realize and shouldn't worry about trying to convince us otherwise.

Good to see you, Bradley.. But I disagree

It is too bad Paul Ryan doesn't understand sound money. He wants to reform the Fed to achieve sound money when the original role of the Fed was to create 'elastic' money ... counterfeit fiat currency. They started with 100% redeemable currency and quickly began inflating the value of the 'Dollar' to oblivion. The central bank has to go the way of the dinosaur in order to achieve sound money.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - Paul Warburg's Crusade to Establish a Central Bank in the United States

In May 1908, the New York Times gave his revised plan prominent coverage. Primarily, Warburg continued to emphasize that the United States must finally develop some sort of central bank system, giving the country an elastic currency based on modern commercial bills payable in gold: a system similar in principle, if not exactly alike in form, to those of the important European central banks.

"The Purse & The Sword" by Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr. is the roadmap for sound money, liberty, peace, and prosperity.

Sound money isn't "Ron Paul's idea" he just promotes it.

Doesn't have anything to do with sound money policy.

 

[Bradley in DC]

Good to see you too, Kotin <waves>

No, none of Paul Ryan's monetary policy reform bills to limit the Fed were ever voted on as far as I know. But by that standard Ron Paul has a poor record on our issues too.

More importantly, as I said, Ryan has been taking a lead introducing anti-Fed bills.

 

[rpwi]

Paul Ryan voted for TARP...which is a bailout of bank money. This is about as anti-sound money as you can get.

 

[brandon]

Newt Gingrich and Barney Frank were both at one time strong advocates of a Fed audit. Why is this relevant? Because never trust a politician. You've been in the game long enough Bradley to know this.

I wonder if Gov Rick can spell treason ??

He has a short list of three possible spellings...

 

[anaconda]

Maybe it's the "sound of money" that Paul Ryan likes..

 

[airborne373]

lol .... Paul Ryan is for sound money. LMAO!

Paul Ryan the career politician and great friend of the international bankers will do as he is told by his masters.

 

[Kluge]

Yeah--pretty laughable.
