Ron Paul vs. Ben Bernanke on Capitalism

Ron Paul once again performed his favorite job duty today by grilling Ben Bernanke and shedding light on the real problems with economic central planning and causing moral hazard through manipulation.

Sometimes I wish he’d not pontificate so much with his allotted five minutes of time and just immediately begin asking questions and follow-up questions. Of course in attempting that there is always the possibility that Bernanke would use up all the allotted time with his first answer.

This was one of the more tame Ron Paul vs. Bernanke episodes, but it’s always a joy to watch these two duke it out over the need for regulation vs. true free market ideas.
