El plan presentado para auditar la FED empieza a rodar políticamente. Ya le han dado soporte 175 congresistas. La revista Forbes ya ha sacado dos artículos defendiendo la necesidad de que la FED actue de manera totalmente oscura y sin control por parte del gobierno. Esto acaba de empezar.

Plan to audit Fed steamrolls ahead

Plan to audit Fed steamrolls ahead
House co-sponsors now total 179, companion bill begins Senate trek

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, long has opposed the power held by the Federal Reserve and its ability to manipulate the nation's economy and over the years has launched proposals to get rid of the quasi-governmental agency, without significant support.

But his current plan, H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 to demand an audit of the organization, is quickly gaining steam.

As of today, the proposal had collected a bipartisan coalition of 179 members of Congress who have signed on as co-sponsors.

Not that Paul's ultimate goals have changed significantly.

"To understand how unwise it is to have the Federal Reserve, one must first understand the magnitude of the privileges they have," he wrote in a new Straight Talk commentary. "They have been given the power to create money, by the trillions, and to give it to their friends, under any terms they wish, with little or no meaningful oversight or accountability."

He's even said Congress should "reassert its constitutional authority over monetary policy."

Besides the support in the U.S. House, a companion bill, S. 604, also now has been introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont. It has been referred to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.

Paul said that should help the effort "begin to gain momentum."

A spokeswoman in Paul's congressional office also told WND that Rep. Barney Frank, the chief of the financial services committee in the House, already has expressed a willingness to hold hearings on the issue.

When Paul introduced his latest proposal to audit the organization there were 11 co-sponsors, which grew quickly to 124 just a few weeks ago.

The bill calls for the comptroller general of the United States to audit the private Federal Reserve and report to Congress before the end of 2010.

The Constitution, Paul said, gives Congress, not the private Federal Reserve, "the authority to coin money and regulate the value of the currency."

Paul explained his advocacy for the H.R. 1207 audit in the U.S. House:

"Throughout its nearly 100-year history, the Federal Reserve has presided over the near-complete destruction of the United States dollar," the Texas Republican said. "Since 1913 the dollar has lost over 95 percent of its purchasing power, aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy.

"How long will we as a Congress stand idly by while hard-working Americans see their savings eaten away by inflation? Only big-spending politicians and politically favored bankers benefit from inflation," he said.

Paul called oversight of the Fed "long overdue."

You've never needed to understand money like you need to understand it now! "Web of Debt: The Shocking Truth About Our Money System and How We Can Break Free" unravels the deception of the Federal Reserve and presents a crystal clear picture of the financial abyss towards which we are heading.

"Since its inception, the Federal Reserve has always operated in the shadows, without sufficient scrutiny or oversight of its operations," he continued.

"The Federal Reserve can enter into agreements with foreign central banks and foreign governments, and the GAO is prohibited from auditing or even seeing these agreements. Why should a government – established agency, whose police force has federal law enforcement powers, and whose notes have legal tender status in this country, be allowed to enter into agreements with foreign powers and foreign banking institutions with no oversight?"

Paul's bill would also make the Federal Reserve's funding facilities, including the Primary Dealer Credit Facility, Term Securities Lending Facility, and Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility subject to congressional oversight.

His new commentary was titled, "Audit the Fed, Then End It!"

It cited some "pushback" from individuals in Congress.

"The main argument seems to be that Congressional oversight over the Fed is government interference in the free market," he wrote. "This argument shows a misunderstanding of what a free market really is. Fundamentally, you cannot defend the Federal Reserve and the free market at the same time.

"The Fed negates the very foundation of a free market by artificially manipulating the price and supply of money – the lifeblood of the economy. In a free market, interest rates, like the price of any other consumer good, are decentralized and set by the market. The only legitimate, Constitutional role of government in monetary policy is to protect the integrity of the monetary unit and defend against counterfeiters," he said.

What has actually happened is the U.S. is that Congress "has abdicated this responsibility to a cabal of elite, quasi-governmental banks who, instead of stabilizing the economy, have destabilized it," he wrote.

Paul said it took "less than two decades for the Federal Reserve to bring on the Great Depression of the 1930s."

He also said some have been worried about bringing the Fed into the "political process."

"The Federal Reserve is already heavily entrenched in the political process, as the Fed chairman is a political appointee. High level officials routinely make the rounds between positions at the Fed, member banks, Treasury and back again, taking care of friends and each other along the way," he said.

Note: Concerned individuals may contact members of the House Committee of Financial Services in reference to H.R. 1207 and the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs committee in reference to its companion bill, S. 604. They may also contact their respective representatives and senators.

EDIT: Si alguien duda sobre si el congreso realmente no controla y no sabe nada sobre la FED: Que control tiene USA sobre la FED? Que te lo diga la encargada de vigilar a la FED

No se por que, pero tengo la sensación que al gran Ron Paul como siga por ese camino le van a quedar dos telediarios, estos hijos de puta de la FED no se van a dejar coger tan facilmente, y Ron Paul lleva tiempo sacandoles todas sus miserias, con lo que no me extrañaría que le diera un "infarto" o tuviera cuelquier otro tipo de desgracia "fortuita", como un accidente de tráfico, o lo que sea.

Espero que la iniciativa salga adelante, cosa que dudo mucho, pero sin duda es un gran paso al frente.

Mi admiración total por él como politico, no solo por sun honradez y su integridad, sino por la firme defensa de la libertades individuales de los ciudadanos que hace en un momento en que el estado en nombre de la seguridad y el bien de todos no hace más que límitar, coartar y hasta violar derechos y libertades en aras a oscuros intereses privados.

Este es otro señor que se está dando una vuelta por NY para meter caña a la FED

No suelo postear en los hilos que abres al respecto, pero sí los sigo - una pregunta, ?deberíamos de fundirlos en un sólo hilo oficial, para poder ver la evolución? (Por ejemplo, el número de congresistas que van apoyando el plan va aumendo cada semana).

Pensaba usar este para ir poniendo las evoluciones, ya que el otro en teoría era sobre el poco control que tiene la FED. No he seguido en el otro por el título que igual confunde, y lo he enlazado ahí para que el que quiera lo vea.

Me asaltan las siguientes preguntas:

1. ¿El voto favorable de cuantos congresistas es necesario para que salga adelante la propuesta?
2. ¿Si el congreso aprueba la medida, deberá ser posteriormente aprobada y refrendada por el senado para que se ponga en práctica?
3. ¿Que auditora del mundo va tener los cojones de no dejarse presionar auditando a una entidad de tan inmenso poder como falta de escrupulos que es la FED?

No recuerdo pero la wikipedia seguro que le saca de dudas.


Creo que lo que aprueba el congreso en segunda instancia va a misa.


Otra vez no estoy seguro, pero creo que las cuentas serían públicas pasado 1 año, como son públicas las de cualquier otra entidad del gobierno. Las auditorías las haría el departamento de auditorías del gobierno.

A ver en qué se queda todo esto. Independientemente de los resultados, es admirable la auténtica pelea de titanes que está llevando Ron Paul desde hace dos décadas (y eso que no simpatizo con su ultraortodoxia liberal...).

Lo bueno tiene que ser escuchar las razones de los congresistas que votan que no se audite la FED.
