Senator Rand Paul Introduces Audit The Fed Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rand Paul introduced legislation allowing for a full audit of the Federal Reserve. This legislation is a Senate version of similar legislation long-championed by and introduced this session in the House of Representatives by his father, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Co-sponsoring the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011” (S. 202), are Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina and David Vitter of Louisiana.

“We must take a critical look at the Fed’s monetary policy decisions, discount window operations, and a host of other things, with a real audit – and not just pay lip-service to the idea of an audit,” Sen. Paul said today. “At a time when we're seeing great volatility in small Euro-zone economies like Greece, Portugal, and Ireland, it is more crucial than ever that we have real transparency at our own central bank.“

The bill will eliminate the current audit restrictions placed on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and mandate a complete audit of the Federal Reserve to be completed by a firm deadline, finally delivering answers to the American people about how their money is being spent by Washington.

Time to see if this "tea party" has any balls.

The tea party supports auditing the fed. That's one thing that the tea party and libertarians here agree on.

 

[sailingaway]

Yes!!!!!

This man makes me so proud to be an American!

 

[Bergie Bergeron]

Awesome.

 

[TheTyke]

Should we begin contacting for co-sponsors immediately? You'd think if our Reps co-sponsored it last time, they may be pretty receptive.

Awesome...

I'm fully expecting this to fail politically like the last one, but that will only help the educational campaign. It's win-win, really.

It will pass the house and most likely die in the Senate. We couldn't even get McConnell to vote for it last time.

 

[sailingaway]

Yea, Pauls!

 

[tsai3904]

There are already 56 co-sponsors according to http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/0111/Paul_introduces_a_bill_to_audit_the_Fed_.html

It only failed last time because Bernie Sanders, the sponsor of the Senate bill, caved at the last minute. There were enough votes if he hadn't changed the legislation. You can expect that Rand Paul will not compromise on this bill.
