[HOLLYWOOD]

There's a lot of FEDERAL RESERVE propaganda going around on social media and socialist "useful idiots" re-parroting that, "'THE FED' already audits itself with an appointed Inspector General. It's just a waste of time and taxpayer money."

Refresher on the past...

The House of Representatives is expected to vote Tuesday evening in favor of auditing the Federal Reserve banking system.


The proposal, a signature cause of retired libertarian Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, will likely win broad support.


Rep. Paul Broun, R-Ga., is sponsoring the bill – the Federal Reserve Transparency Act – with 228 co-sponsors, more than half of the House's membership. A majority of Republicans and 19 Democrats are on board.


The bill would require a comprehensive audit of the banking system within one year of enactment.


A previous version of the legislation won 327-98 support in July 2012 – despite the defection (http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/26/eight-co-sponsors-of-audit-the-fed-bill-vote-against-it-without-explanation/) of eight co-sponsors – but went nowhere in the Senate. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., supported (http://www.businessinsider.com/ron-paul-audit-the-fed-senate-harry-reid-video-2012-7) auditing the Fed in the 1990s, but refused to allow a Senate vote.


“It’s going to be up to the Senate,”


Broun tells U.S. News. “The best way to get it put into law is for people all across this country to contact their senators and demand that we pass an 'audit the Fed' bill – if enough pressure is put on all those senators we'll have it on the floor and it will pass."


Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is sponsoring companion legislation in the Senate with 30 co-sponsors.


A partial audit of the Federal Reserve in 2011 ordered by the Dodd-Frank financial reform act found (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/07/audit-fed-gave-16-trillion-in-emergency-loans/) the banking system loaned $16 trillion to financial institutions – including more than $3 trillion to foreign banks – from 2007-2010, infuriating some members of Congress who said there was no public notice or congressional oversight of those loans.
Broun says Congress abdicated its constitutional responsibility to manage the U.S. money supply when it created the Federal Reserve in 1913 and wants to abolish the independent institution.

Did the vote happen just now? I can't find anything about it. https://beta.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/24 seems to suggest that the vote was postponed yesterday.

Thanks for the info!

Now what? It dies with Reid?

[tsai3904]

Now what? It dies with Reid?

Yes, but McConnell is a cosponsor of Rand's bill. When Republicans gain control of Senate, it will get a vote. It might need 60 votes though so that's why it's important for the House to vote on it because it gets Democrats on the record. Many House Democrats eventually run for Senate (like Bruce Braley in Iowa who voted for the bill today).

Where is the roll call?

I want to know who voted against it

Pretty easy to vote for or against a bill that you know has no possible path to being passed.

It becomes a political tool. Something to show your constituents. That's all.

If there was a way that this could actually happen, I can guarantee you that many of those votes would change.

Doesn't the GOP do a similar circle jerk, taking turns being the token votes for a balanced budget amendment, but with the whole body always careful orchestrated so that it has no chance of going to the states?

[willwash]

So anyway, does this just sit in Senate committee forever? I thought if a bill was passed by one house of Congress the other was required to vote on it. Guess not.

It gets them off the hook. They don't really want to have to make the tough choices needed to balance the budget (voters would kick them out if they seriously tried- "Don't raise my taxes to pay for it or cut my favorite program!") but they want to be seen as somehow "fiscally responsible" while they vote for more spending and debt. "I voted for a balanced budget amendment" (but I won't vote for or submit a balanced budget). Ron Paul at least submitted proposals to balance a budget and voted against spending more money.

Some of them don't have to pass the Senate, certain ones that fund the govt are solely the responsibility of the House.

[Zippyjuan]

All pending bills must originate in the House but still have to pass both chambers and be signed by the President according to the US Constitution.

What are the odds that the Senate even votes on it? And if they do, it surely won't pass. One of the worst arguments people here have made is "focus on ending the Fed" rather than on the XXXX war or XXXX spending. For the Fed to be held responsible, first the programs it funds would have to be limited or stopped. And for even that to happen, you'd have to first change people's mind about the role of government to not be in charge of those things. Otherwise that would just piss people off that support using that system for their means and they'll rally for more federal reserve notes be printed.

Lol, I was wondering if I could start the "UNOFFICIAL THREAD". :)
