If true...this is going to be good...real good.

Oh I have seen some really great moments on CSpan. True...it can be boring sometimes. But there have been some lively moments. I think Ron Paul is exactly the right person to Chair this committee. We need more transparency and more responsible actions from Beranke. Which is something Paul will definately be pushing for. Maybe he can actually get it audited finally. He has been pushing for that for a long time and is WAY over due. Shouldn't we know exactly where the money is, where it is going and why? Seems like a smart idea to me. What is wrong with Ben Stein...he is actually a VERY smart man with some really GREAT ideas. Sure is not "exciting"...but I would rather have Stein than Jerry Springer when it comes to my government.

I wonder how long he will have this seat once he starts to ask question about things that republicans don't want out in the public (like the Billions sent to Iraq during the first Bush presidency, that no one has ever explained). I am sure once he starts down that road it will be very hard to get him off of it. Which I what I like but the GOP sure won't. It is believed by some conspiracy theorist that the FED has been the money man for many of our national secrets (like the Iran payments), so auditing them may much harder than anyone knows. I think that we should know more about the FED, but it may be a case of buyers remorse once we do. I like Ben Stein, just not is politics, he is a good actor, and his voice is everywhere. But, I think he needs to stick to the cartoons, and acting because his politics are way to far to the right for me. I'm not a big Jerry fan, but he was mayor of right wing Cincinnati, so explain that one to me.

It is one the mysteries of the world...I don't think anyone can explain that one. As for Ron Paul...I hope he DOES expose all the BS reguardless of party and changes how things are done. That is what he has been pushing to get for a long time and this position would make it perfect for him to really start making a difference.

Ron has been known to take him to task on more than one occassion. He was not even the chairman of the committee then...if he does get the chair now...oh it is going to be interesting. He will have the power to REALLY take him on and about time someone did. Ron does not let anyone push him around. He has his beliefs and he stands by them. He is one of the few in washingtong that is not for sale and does an honest job. He is exactly the right man for the job.

You can watch it online if you want. CSpan is online. Or you can catch it on youtube or the news.

I agree - fiscal restraint may be at our finger tips!

Yep. He is the perfect person to take him to task and straighten things out. I am excited.

I have watched Ron Paul take him to task on C-Span more than once. With him chairing the subcomitte...oh that is going to be good. I hope he is able change on things are done in the federal reserve.

how about fixing the federal reserve and banking? Paul is just the guy to do it.

Paul can't do much by himself, is what I'm saying, and if it doesn't help the rest of the GOP win in 2012 they're not going to budge on anything. They want things to stay as bad as they are or get worse, if they can manage to spin it to be the Obama Administration's fault, which they've gotten pretty good at. Annie

Good Luck on the diet...I am trying to loose a few pounds myself so I should probly pass on the popcorn too. Paul is the senior member of the subcomittee now so he should get it. WHich puts him in a position to really shake things up.
