Today the house finance committee passed what will surely be a historic amendment 43-26. This a very straight forward amendment, allow the Federal Reserve to be audited without question. One would think that such a simple request should pass without objection, right? After all, why would we want a highly political organization such as the Federal Reserve possibly hide anything from the American Public? Congress created the Fed and Congress can destroy the Fed (technically speaking). Examine who voted to maintain the status quo and against auditing the engine of inflation, credit and virtually every single recession including the Great Depression. You may not understand this yet, but the Fed absolutely and without question created the Great Depression and while FDR exacerbated the situation - without a central bank injecting credit the economic collapse of 1929-1932 would not have happened. We are now on the brink of exactly the same collapse or a Japanese style multi-decade malaise.

he’s not a left-libertarian, hes purely Liberal. He’s is Liberal socially and Liberal economically. Libertarians are liberal socially and conservative economically. He truly believes in government run health care. Just because Grayson gets some thing right doesn’t make him acceptable
Grayson is strange, he definitely sounds and looks like a moron liberal - but for whatever reason he is leading the charge agains the Fed, so good for him.
Would I replace him with a conservative/libertarian? In a heartbeat.
Either way..this piece of legislation is a great start.
