Good article. It's nice to see Mr. Paul treated fairly in the mainstream media. The idea of auditing the Fed is pretty rational.

Hey Matt, you guys at US News & World Report are stepping up to the plate and using your powerful voice to assist by bringing Ron Paul into prominence for those who still don't pay enough attention. Thanks for the articles I've read lately about Dr. Paul. We really need the help of publications and individuals who "GET IT". Ron Paul can be the man who guides us back to solvency and ethical government. Maybe some of your contemporaries out there with big voices like yours will grow a conscience soon and follow suit with what you are doing. Big Thanks!!

We should not only audit the Fed. Reserve, we should eliminate it.
The Fed. Reserve money belongs to the taxpayers. Its officers are not elected officials.
We should be on the gold or silver standard.

You will from time to time see dire warnings if the Fed is audited. These comments come from operatives for the Fed trying
to influence the GDP (Generally dumb public so that there then will be the ignorant out parroting what was said by those operatives. It is only common sense that a central bank should be totally transparent so they can be monitored. Otherwise they
can pick and choose winners and losers and have done so all along. The monetary policy must be separated from the private for profit theives such as Goldman/Sachs and their henchmen, Bernanke, Greespan, Geitner,etc. This needs to be controlled by the true treasury of the states united and not the corporate U.S.

Dr. Paul is the only honest politician in Washington.

Ron Paul was quoted as saying, "... pull out a certificate that says 'one ounce of gold' or 'one ounce of silver ..."
For those who forget history, we had silver certs. and gold certs. in our lifetimes. They looked similar to the current Federal Reserve Notes. The paper bill said it could be redeemed for an ounce of gold/silver.
Please research executive order 11110, in which Kennedy told Treasury to start up the presses to issue new silver certs. Then look at the timeline of his executive order and his murder.

Journalists too are having a tough time trying to defend secrecy by a monopolist bank that has been given immunity from corrective competitive forces, and gets to define monetary policy for the entire union. Once the nature of the beast becomes more well known, more pressure will be placed on Congress to enforce Article I. Section 10:
No State shall ... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, Federal Reserve is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives; of how and why it was founded and operates; or of the sound money and banking that could end the statism, inflation, and business cycles that the Fed generates...
Just Google "Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve"
You might learn something...

Money in a free market society is already free market. If you want to pay for something using something other than the money in your wallet, you are free to try it. If the store accepts your chickens as payment, then the transaction is valid.
People have already decided to use money as a means of exchange, if you don't like it then use something else.
