Only two
days officially into his run for president, Texas Governor Rick Perry is
already picking out opponents to tackle on the way to the White House. Enemy
number one: The Federal Reserve’s Ben Bernanke.
Perry had
some harsh words for Bernanke while speaking in Iowa on Monday. In a speech
given in Cedar Rapids yesterday, Perry suggested that perhaps a little
down-home Texas justice is what’s necessary to whip Bernanke and the Fed into
shape.
“If this
guy prints more money between now and the election, I don’t know what you all
would do to him in Iowa, but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,”
Perry said.“Printing
more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is
almost treacherous – or treasonous in my opinion.”
That practice
of printing more money is what the Fed calls quantitative easing, and experts
suggest that they will offer up a third round of paper-printing this year in
order to lower borrowing costs. Perry says that with two attempts at
quantitative easing thus far unable to save an economy in dire straits since
the recession subsided in 2009, one more go will only make matters worse.
“We’ve
already tried this,” Perry said in Cedar Rapids. “All it’s going to be doing is
devaluing the dollar in your pocket and we cannot afford that. We have to learn
the lessons of the past three years that they’ve been devastating. The
President of the United States has conducted an experiment on the American
economy for almost the last three years, and it has gone tragically wrong and
we need to send him a clear message in November of 2012 that new leadership is
coming.”
From there,
Perry was quick to offer more quips against President Barack Obama, calling
into question the commander in chief’s own affinity for America.
Upon launching
into a soliloquy about his passion for his country, going as far as to call
himself a candidate “that’s in love with America,” Perry was prompted with
whether or not he thought President Obama was also a patriot that loved the
USA.
“You need
to ask him,” responded the Texas governor.
It was only
this past Saturday that Perry formally announced that he would be running for
the GOP nomination for the presidency in 2012. That same day, voters in the
Ames Straw Poll cast enough votes for Michele Bachmann to take the way,
followed by Ron Paul and Tim Pawlenty.
Perry says he doesn't believe in global warming
