I watched Ron Paul ask Bernake if he considered gold as money, yesterday at a congressional hearing. Bernake had a sick look on his face and after he regained his composure, said "No, its a commodity". He looked as though he was saying something other than what he knew to be true. Very interesting hearing.
Ron Paul also brought up the fact that the government provides voodoo CPI figures to mask true inflation rates, which Ron Paul said averages 9-10% a YEAR!!
