"SNIP.............................


Pure Genious from presumed presidential contender and devotee of Austrian school economics, Sen. Rand Paul:

Who would your ideal Fed chairman be?
Hayek would be good, but he’s deceased.

Nondead Fed chairman.
Friedman would probably be pretty good, too, and he’s not an Austrian, but he would be better than what we have.

Dead, too.
Yeah. Let’s just go with dead, because then you probably really wouldn’t have much of a functioning Federal Reserve.

1. he wants to dig up the bones of Ayn Rand and give her a Cabinet post too

Secretary of Christianity???

[question everything]

4. Except she was Jewish

and supported free love, and abortion.

Not exactly an image that the Bible Thumpers would adore.

[NightWatcher]

5. And she criticized religious types as weak minded too

[Initech]

2. And this dumbass wants to be president.

3. Rand Paul is ignorance on parade. Same with his Dad, Ron. Two idiots from the same tree nt

[Taitertots]

6. Most people don't even know who Friedman and Hayek were

He could say he was going to nominate Kazoo McTootoo and his followers wouldn't know the difference.

It is almost hilarious that he picked two people whose economic policies would be completely different.

He stopped after Friedman because he doesn't know any economists that actually support his policy recommendations.
