Yes, Dennis Kucinich's NEED Act would absorb the Federal Reserve into the Treasury Department and make it within the control of the government, but at the time Ron Paul introduced his Audit the Fed bill some years ago, it took a long time for him to line up co-sponsors and votes in the House of Representatives, and he worked very hard to do it. It was a daring and brave thing to do. (Remember what happened to Louis McFadden)
However, Ron Paul wrote a book titled END THE FED, published in 2009. The American people, including our politicians, have very poor backgrounds or educations in economics, banking and finance. How he bothered to educate himself by reading Ludvig von Mises, and the history of private central banking, etc., makes him exceptional.
Incidentally, his son, Rand Paul, and he have some considerablde differences of opinions. Some people think that Ron Paul was not expecting to run for the presidency but was doing it to mark a place for his son in the future; he is currently in Congress from another state..
Anyway, Ron Paul is a different kind of Republican.

P.S. We are going to lose Dennis Kucinich in the House of Representatives becase of redistricting in Cleveland, Ohio. He had to run against another worthy Democrat in the primary and lost, so this is his last year. I will miss him.
