Lux Lucet

There was a time in my more naive days when I believed the nonsense about how all the problems in the country were the fault of liberal Democrats. I know better now. After the miserable showing of the Republican Congress from 1994 – 2008, I could be forgiven for not being overwhelmed at the prospect of a Republican House majority in the next Congress. But one thing that definitely does excite me is the prospect of Ron Paul becoming Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. This is the congressional committee to which the Ben Bernanke reports as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The notion of Bernanke reporting to a committee chaired by Ron Paul has the establishment folks excited too, although freaked out may be a better way of putting it.

Let the show begin.
