“I’ll be blunt: we are audited out the wazoo…  What he is talking about is politicizing monetary policy.”

Thus spake Richard Fisher, President of the Dallas regional Federal Reserve bank, last week in reaction to renewed efforts to Audit the Federal Reserve. Nor has Fisher been alone. Ever since Rand Paul introduced his “Audit the Fed” bill in the US Senate late last month, denunciations have poured in from high-ranking Federal Reserve officials, including Fed Chair Janet Yellen, as well as Fed supporters within academia and the mainstream media. Fed officials have even privately lobbied select senators in opposition to the bill, a move that one expert called “unseemly.”  Clearly the monetary mandarins are worried.

So what’s all the fuss about?

    Is the Fed already perfectly transparent with nothing to hide?
    Would a full audit of the type specified by Sen. Paul’s bill dangerously interject political meddling into monetary policy?
    Are concerns over potential conflicts of interest and “revolving doors” between the Treasury, the Fed, and Wall Street overblown?

On Tuesday, February 24, Ken Van Doren will join us to answer the common objections heard from central bankers — and even a few Wisconsin Congressmen — to a full audit of the Federal Reserve. Learn the basics about the structure of the Fed and its production money and what you need to know to knowledgeable support an Audit.

"All the perplexities, confusions, and distresses in America arise, not from defects in their constitution or confederation, not from a want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation."
