Let's see ... 6 months into Barack Obama's presidency, and the Establishment Republicans have accomplished a big, fat nothing. No surprise, really.
Well, I take that back. They went on a "listening" tour, so they could TELL us it's time to leave Ronald Reagan behind. Of course they want to leave Reagan behind!
Jeb's got a big federal education program and Romney's got a big health care program. In other words, Bush and Romney want bigger government!
In the meantime however, ever-faithful Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) has a bill on the floor so powerful, the Federal Reserve went out and hired lobbyists!
But hey ... I'm sure Mitt will shrink government for you (snicker).
Federal Reserve to hire former Enron lobbyist:
America's elite central bank is hiring a veteran lobbyist to improve its public image. This should be enough to sound the alarm bells of suspicion. Can you blame them, though? The Fed failed to predict the current crisis, devalued the Dollar by over 30% since 2002, inflated the real estate bubble with artificially low rates, and printed trillions of dollars out of thin air to rescue its buddies on Wall St. Throughout the unfolding crisis, it colluded with the Federal Government, Treasury Department, and several, monolithic Wall St. firms, thus eroding its claim of monetary independence as a "private" bank.
Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, broke tradition and appeared on 60 minutes for a public interview. Now, the Fed's about to hire a veteran lobbyist, who worked for the scandalized Enron, as well as the Treasury Department under then President Bill Clinton. Seems like somebody's just a little bit worried.
Shelly Roche says "Audit the Fed!"
Hot chicks go for guys who want to audit the Fed. I'm just sayin' ...
