Who is Ron Paul?

nro: . . . but if you don’t trust smart bankers to control the currency, why would you trust Congress?

PAUL: Well, how could it be any worse? At least with Congress, people would know what they were doing. But I don’t want Congress to do it. People who we call Greenbackers are the ones who say Congress should print the money and pass it out and help the people they want to help. But that’s not what I want, that’s not what is in the Constitution. Nobody is supposed to regulate the money and set interest rates. I want the marketplace to set interest rates, and that means the market decides how much gold and silver circulates.


nro: But would you prefer Congress to the Fed?

PAUL: Well, you know, I probably would, just to shake up the system. But that would not be my priority. My first step is to expose the Fed for what they’re doing, because they do it in secret. People say that “Congress will politicize the Fed.” Well, how could they get more political? When they help out their buddies at Goldman Sachs, that’s pretty political.
