[VanBummel]

Finally, a little bad news for the statists for a change. Way to go, Dr.Paul.

On to the Senate!

 

[Matt Collins]

It just passed!

Makes me wanna do the truffle shuffle

 

[ghengis86]

Harry Reid said he won't even bring it up in the Senate. We need another miracle to get this to Obama's desk. And one more after that to get that bankster puppet to sign it.

Great for liberty and freedom. Bad for the bankopoly. They're going to fight this with all the power their trillions can buy.
Onward!!

House passes Ron Paul bill to audit the Fed

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2012/07/ron-paul-audit-the-federal-reserve/1

The U.S. House overwhelmingly approved a bill by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, that would expand congressional authority to oversee deliberations at the Federal Reserve.

The vote was 327-98.

The legislation is the culmination of more than three decades of activism by Paul, who has pushed for greater transparency at the central bank since he was first elected in 1976.

"This bill essentially just legalizes the right of the Congress to audit the Federal Reserve because there are prohibitions," Paul said following the vote. "I think the whole idea that they can deal in trillions of dollars and know that nobody is allowed to ask them a question is a moral hazard. And this removes that moral hazard."

The bill stands no chance of becoming law because the Democratic-controlled Senate will not take it up. The vote, however, served as a symbolic swan song for Paul, who is not seeking re-election. It is also an indicator of how Paul's economic views have gone more mainstream, particularly within the Republican Party, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis that shook Americans' confidence in Wall Street and the federal government.

Paul made auditing the Fed a signature platform of his 2008 presidential campaign, and it has become a rallying cry for his supporters ever since.

The vote was notable because Paul has almost never played a lead role in crafting legislation--he long ago earned the nickname, "Dr. No" because of his consistent record of voting against party leadership, particularly on fiscal legislation. On Monday, Paul met for the first time with the House GOP leadership's whip team--the group of lawmakers charged with making sure bills have enough votes to pass--to discuss his legislation.

He joked that he had finally become a congressional insider, and that it was a sign that it is time to leave Capitol Hill.

The bill has 270 co-sponsors, and it sailed to passage with the assistance of 89 Democrats who joined with 238 Republicans to approve it.

"Good pieces of legislation sometimes has a hard time getting to the House floor," said Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., a co-sponsor.

 

[RonRules]

On Monday, Paul met for the first time with the House GOP leadership's whip team--the group of lawmakers charged with making sure bills have enough votes to pass--to discuss his legislation.

That's AMAZING. After decades in Congress he get to meet this so-called whip team?

 

[RonRules]

Considering that nearly as many Democrats votes yes than no, it's clear Ron Paul's ideas are acceptable to the vast majority.

He would definitively win the Presidential election against Obama.

 

[mikeyc90]

Yea!! After all this years even congress has finally woke up and realized the need for greater transparency and control over the fed I don't know about if the senate will pass it but anyway good day for liberty!

 

[mikeyc90]

326 -99!

i wonder who the Republican that voted nay was

will be interesting to see who all the other nay voters were

Bob turner - new York 9th district
