Representative Ron Paul, Texas Republican and author of “End the Fed,” will take control of the House subcommittee that oversees the Federal Reserve.
House Financial Services chairman-elect Spencer Bachus, an Alabama Republican, selected Paul, 75, to lead the panel’s domestic monetary policy subcommittee when their party takes the House majority next month, the committee chairman said today.
“This is the leadership team that crafted the first comprehensive financial reform bill to put an end to the bailouts, wind down the taxpayer funding of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and enforce a strong audit of the Federal Reserve,” Bachus said in a statement.
Paul, in an interview last week, said he plans a slate of hearings on U.S. monetary policy and will restart his push for a full audit of the Fed’s functions.
“We are ready to hit the ground running, and I look forward to continuing our work in the next Congress,” Bachus said.

Given how boring the Fed is, it would have spiced things up more to appoint RU Paul!

Paul and Democratic Socialist Bernie Sanders spearheaded the bill to audit the Fed.
Kudos to the Repulicans for putting Sanders in charge. Should be interesting.

Yeah, dammit! Don't those stupid Paultards know that the fed totally has our best interests at heart and not the interests of its big, private constituent banks ?
