Ron Paul, who is one of four remaining GOP candidates running for President, has returned to Washington D.C. to address Ben Bernanke of the Federal Reserve System. Inflation, budgets, deficits, and the US Dollar currency were topics discussed at the hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. Ron Paul consistently criticized the anti-free market US Financial and Monetary system throughout his 30 year political career in Congress. He is also the only Presidential Candidate who forecasted the housing bubble and the inflationary price actions as a result of the debasing of the currency by the quasi-private Federal Reserve.
