Ron Paul Wants You! (To Take On The Fed)

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/07/2011 13:57 -0400

For all those with a penchant for crunching manipulated numbers and wish to make a change by taking on the Fed (ironically, making some fiat in the process), this may be your chance: Ron Paul, chairman of the Domestic Monetary Policy subcommittee, and his chief of staff Jeff Diest are seeking to hire a young economist, “thoroughly Austrian, and preferably with an advanced
degree. The candidate needs strong knowledge of the Fed and monetary
policy generally, and must be an effective writer. He or she will be
responsible for organizing hearings; summarizing data and Fed actions
for Dr. Paul; writing statements; dealing with Financial Services
committee staff; and various other tasks.” Sorry Joe LaVorgna, despite your ubercreative "weather worker" adjustment, you are on the exclusion list.

More from Lew Rockwell, who disclosed this job opening:

Ron and Jeff want an economist with a “strong personality to match their strong analytical skills.” The Fed and its shills are significant opponents, after all. The “salary will be respectable, a solid 5 figures, though depending on experience.”

Write me if you are that person, or can recommend someone. The preference, btw, is for someone with no Beltway experience. And probably you should be single. But what an opportunity to work hard, do good, and have fun. I will add, from personal experience, that Ron Paul is a great boss, too.

This can be a life-changing experience for the right young person. Imagine an 18th century classified: “Wanted, Economist-Assistant to Thomas Jefferson.” This is the equivalent, although Jefferson was not as principled in office as Ron Paul.

It took 409 formula's to come up with a really good cleaner.

My guess is it's goign to take 2012 formulas to come up with a really good cop cleaner.

How about someone with a little math knowledge(1+1=2 NOT 3or 5) and who still has some common sense(cant pay debt with more debt!) eh?

They made the requirement clear: an economist from an untried school.

Do you want to keep the dream alive or not? Dont go for the jugular.

I don't know about the Austrian part, but I would love to see Barry Ritholtz penning the questions for the FED (and someday for Fannie, Freddy, SEC, FDIC, ???) would be a cream dream. The best part is the guy would do it for free and even outsource a lot of it to his team is need be.

This may be the only real thing to come out of the 112th folks, enjoy it to the hilt!

To qualify as a true Austrian economist one have to be able to YODEL all financial news.

By the way. I was impressed by Ron Paul when in AAron Russo's movie "Freedom to Fascism" he remarks the fact that "they 've got the guns"...I guess it's not so easy to go against those who have the guns.

It would be nice to have a website where everyone can contribute, collaborate and suggest ideas on how to demolish the Fed and provide ideas and questions to ask Ben the Bernank.

http://www.campaignforliberty.com/ works closely with Ron Paul, they are a good group as far as I can tell, I would not hesitate to contact them, it sounds like something they can do--if enough of us contact them they will help....

If you want to demolish the Fed, I suggest a chemist with emphasis on the chemistry of high explosives.

I nominate Elizabeth Warren or William Black for the job.

Yep what is an Austrian again?

A fucking fool?

You bet'cha

A fucking Monetarist fool?

You bet'cha

Anti-American?

You bet'cha

So what is Ron Paul looking for?

An anti-american monetarist.

To do what?

Help him be unamerican.

Oh, he wants to end the fed.

So DO I

So Do tens of millions of others

None of us are Austrian, even if a few fucktard fools merely THINK they are now.

If you're an Austrian, you aren't a Patriot.

So Mr. Fucktard Paul. Please be one of the people that helps end the fed.

Then leave gov't as your time will be over, anything additional, will turn you fascist and into a war criminal. So be careful at the top, it's a one way ticket down.

So again Ron Paul is looking for another Austrian fool to spew foolish fucktard things.

He/She needs to be able to write well in pure sophistry fashion in order to somehow generate support for failed unamerican policies.

He/She needs an advanced degree given to fucktards who demonstrate their ability to believe the parroted gobbly-gook they were taught.

He/She really can't have a brain, because if they did, they wouldn't want such a fucktard job, with such a fucktard person, Ron Paul.

Enjoy your fucktard job, you definitely won't be thinking out of the box on any of it, and will definitely be the diametrically opposite of an American Patriot.

Those are the facts, and no fucktard can legitimately dispute them. Because they're as dupid Vanilla Ice or any Republican trying to be 'hip' pretending it's still 1991.

Ron has analytical skills? Like what of Ben Bernanke's level? Ron Paul is a fucking stupid dumbfuck, who happened to luck into a position not liking the federal reserve, because somehow this idiot, who chose a dumbfuck monetarist ideology, chose one that doesn't believe in the fed.

So he's right about not wanting the fed, but is completely wrong for why he doesn't want it. Broken Clock...twice a day.

Ron has NO analytical skills. Sure put him up against a pencil and he has some. But ACTUAL analytical skills? I've never seen an austrian with one. Have you? Why are they austrian then. Having a brain and believing in Austrian form of economics is like saying a gay person can pretend to be straight and everything is normal.

Ron 'fascist fucktard' Paul wants you.

If you meet his specs, god help you. Because it's quite clear common sense never will. If you meet those specs; run, hide, open your mind and think.

Plus the candidate should ask himself/herself this.....if the money printing for bailouts and monetarism in general is so bad, why is it that he wants to keep them legitimate. If they aren't legitimate, why does Ron Paul want us to live by them?

I've never seen Ron Paul say 'fuck the bullshit debts'. I've never seen Ron Paul say, 'The New Deal worked'.

Ron Paul is no FDR, and no...they don't know who FDR is, just the propoganda on him. FDR was no Keynesian. But Ron Paul IS an Austrian Monetarist.

Again, it's even in their job description. Which I'll end this post on that point. Think about it. If he wasn't a monetarist, why would this be so important.

"thoroughly Austrian, and preferably with an advanced degree. The candidate needs strong knowledge of the Fed and monetary policy generally, and must be an effective writer. He or she will be responsible for organizing hearings; summarizing data and Fed actions for Dr. Paul; writing statements; dealing with Financial Services committee staff; and various other tasks"

1 Unamerican needed...do you qualify?
