Ron Paul Challenges Ben Stein to Debate

Completely off-topic, but I thought it was too interesting to not post:

Tom Woods and Gene Epstein Debate on the Federal Reserve

The FreedomFest debates are starting to show up. Here's Thomas Woods and Gene Epstein debating Warren Coats and John Fund(?!) on what James Madison referred to as a "wicked project": fiat money and the Federal Reserve.

Part one of five:



Update: I originally included Ron Paul. That error has been corrected. My apologies.

Ron Paul on Socialized Health Care

It bears repeating that before the 17th Amendment the Senate acted to keep power decentralized. Unless we repeal the 17th Amendment, it will be necessary for people to establish strong lines of communication in order to point out why every crisis does not need to be met with an expansion of the leviathan. That's going to be a losing battle, but it's one we have to fight while working to repeal the 17th.

Majority of House Cosponsors Ron Paul's Bill

A good first step.

Congressman Ron Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency Act, HR 1207, has reached and surpassed the level of 218 cosponsors in the House of Representatives, which means it is now cosponsored by a majority of the members.

The 218th cosponsor was Dennis Kucinich (OH-10), and the bill has since received its 222nd cosponsor.

“The tremendous grass-roots and bipartisan support in Congress for HR 1207 is an indicator of how mainstream America is fed up with Fed secrecy,” said Congressman Paul. “I look forward to this issue receiving greater public exposure.”

Hearings on Federal Reserve transparency are expected within the next month, as part of the Financial Services Committee's series of hearings on regulatory reform.

Ah, Government. Is there anything it can't do?
