The Federal Reserve (the "Fed") is a behemoth agency with the ability to manipulate and control the entire American economy.
Our jobs, our finances, our savings and, ultimately, our livelihoods — all of them are subject to the decisions made at the Fed.
But the Fed’s deliberations and operations happen behind closed doors.
It’s time for us to know how the Fed makes its decisions. Congress must take immediate steps to provide transparency for the American people.
No other institution has so much unchecked power. Look no further than the unlimited authority the Fed used in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Fed printed money, purchased government-backed securities and doled out massive amounts of money to favored industries. These actions added almost $5 trillion in debt to the Fed’s balance sheet.
The push to audit the Fed has become bipartisan and there is new legislation that would do just that.
To be clear, representatives of the Fed are only interested in transparency to the extent it gives them political cover. Because, to them, the opacity of the Fed is a feature, not a bug, and their leadership considers secrecy to be a great asset.
If you ask them, accountability to the American people and to the taxpayers who prop up their financial house of cards is actually bad. From the Fed’s perspective, to even question this arrangement is in some way harmful or dangerous.
Our country is now over $37 trillion in debt. Not enough people in Washington are willing to say "no" because they don’t want to stop spending other people’s money — the "other people" being future generations of Americans who are defenseless against the voices of the present as they ask for tomorrow’s money today.
The Fed owns a share of responsibility for this....

The figure Rand uses in the headline - $186 billion - is what the Fed pays out to banks every year, nearly half of it to FOREIGN BANKS!
Unreal.........
I think you’ll find nearly unanimous agreement on FR that the Federal Reserve needs to be audited.
His father has been saying it for years, wake me when it’s done—I’m not holding my breath....
There is at least one Freeper who always shows up and says something like, “The Fed gets audited all the time. Results are always perfect. There’s nothing funny going on.”
I think we need a really thorough audit. Because I think something funny is going on.
The Fed audits itself. But that doesn’t count IMHO.
grandstanding big mouth rand paul just seeking somewhere else to get media attention

When Powell is done, we have a real chance to strike at the fed.
A lawsuit challenging the feds closed door meetings was just thrown out of court by a federal judge. Public has no right to know what they do.

So what if they did audit it. Nothing would be done about the findings for the same reason most politicians and deep state beauracrats are never held responsible for anything.
THIS I CAN AGREE WITH PAUL ABOUT
The Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Windsors, DuPonts et al ultra wealthy world elite will not allow the US Federal Reserve to be audited because it will be detrimental to their control over the US and disruptive to their free source of income.
“There is at least one Freeper who always shows up and says something like, “The Fed gets audited all the time. Results are always perfect. There’s nothing funny going on.”
Yeah, I called that one out... Like a flower shop is going to show you the Mafia books in the backroom. They are only going to show you the flower shop books.
Two sets of books has been a real thing since the kicking over of the tables...
