Just saw this clown questioning Bernanke about making the Fed more transparent. Ben said he'd be more than willing to give the Congress more information on the Fed balance sheet, lending programs etc. Kinda like what Ron wants in his audit bill.

Then Ben said, of course we can't mess with the Fed's independence in regards to monetary policy. Ron said, well of course that's the only thing that matters. What an assclown. Ron that is. LOL!

Since the Constitution gives Congress the sole right to mint money, I do think that Ron Paul has a point here.

And if the Fed stays independent, what information they give to Congress will be only what information they choose to give to Congress. They'll no more allow themselves to be honestly audited than has Freddy Mae and Fanny Mae.
