MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said that Paul had admitted off camera that Bernanke deserved the award because of his economic power. Paul replied “He is. He is the most powerful man in the world. I believe a case can be made for that…He controls the supply of money, which is the reserve currency of the world.”
The Texas congressman added, “He could create a trillion dollars in secret without any monitoring of the Congress…I think he’s more powerful than the president.”
