Rand Paul: Audit the Federal Reserve (and Reject the Clinton-Bush Dynasty)

By Ben Smith. Sen. Rand Paul is reviving his push to audit the Federal Reserve.

The Kentucky Republican and presumptive 2016 presidential candidate said he wants to bring several of the Fed’s monetary activities under congressional oversight.

In a statement released Monday, Paul said it was time to end the secrecy behind the Fed. He believes an audit is the best way to do it.

“[An] audit of the Fed will finally allow the American people to know exactly how their money is being spent by Washington.” Paul said.

He slammed the Fed’s current operating practices, saying it works “under a cloak of secrecy and it has gone on for too long.” (Read more about Rand Paul saying to audit the federal reserve HERE)

Paul, who this week gave an interview to CNN via Snapchat, plans to distribute the audio via Twitter and other social platforms. (Read more from this story HERE)
