RE: Ron Paul poised to take on the Fed at head of financial subcommittee

Ron Paul is certainly an interesting individual my concern about him heading this subcommittee is that Paul is a true believer and he is fundamental about those beliefs. These individuals who want this strict interpretation of the Constitution always seem to forget that the preamble of the Constitution states:
especially that part about promoting the general welfare. I'm all for getting some answers from the Fed regarding the meltdown and this $600 Billion they are printing up and exactly where that money will be going, (the banks to prop them back up???) but I'd rather someone with a less fundamentalist attitude take charge. I know Paul wrote a book about his economic theories, however, where in his education to become a doc did he study economics and that book was written quite early in his career.
