Rand Paul actually said...

"if State and local governments had not been forced to cut back, unemployment would now be below 8 percent."

"Chairman Bernanke... was appointed 3 times to important economic positions by George Bush... whose integrity and intellectual honesty ought to be unquestioned."

"the uncertainty that Chairman Bernanke talks about... is an uncertainty that is bipartisan and has nothing to do with regulation."

"It would lead to a major crisis of too much debt, too much malinvestment."
