[Video] Ron Paul Questioning Bernanke 7/18/12

[tsai3904]

I watched the full video on Rep. Paul's webpage. I was wondering why so few seats were taken. Where were the Democrats? Where were some of the Republicans? Why did I only see Reps. Paul, Luetkemeyer, Jones, and Schweikert. Unless I am mistaken, according to Wikipedia: there are 8 Republicans and 6 Democrats. That means 10 representatives didn't even attend the meeting.

Were they busy or did they just not want to attend since Rep. Paul was leading the meeting?

The video on Paul's webpage isn't today's hearing.

In regards to your point, most members don't attend subcommittee hearings and if they do, they come in, ask their questions, then leave.

Thank you for posting, I was also at work. I wish I could've watched live.

Thank you to Walter Jones for yielding his time!

Ron was on fire today. These sessions are not long enough. Bernanke was giving very snotty short answers.

If inflation were measured by total M1.. It would show how out of hand it is getting.

I haven't watched yet (and was at work today). I have been curious though to know how Bernanke acted at the end of his final grilling by Dr. Paul. Did he say anything like "It's been nice working with you congressman", or even just a death stare? I would love to know.

I was able to catch some of this and hope to watch the rest later. I did see something near the end that gave me great hope. Ron Paul finished and everyone in the background looked at each other approvingly.

Time are a changing. The R3volution grow!
