In a move exposing one of Washington’s dirtiest secrets, Senator Rand Paul, a true champion for transparency, is calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve. It’s about time! For far too long, this shadowy institution has operated behind a curtain, manipulating our economy, impacting our jobs, our bank accounts, and even our savings with unchecked and secretive authority. Americans deserve to know the truth about how these decisions that affect their lives are actually made.
The numbers are appalling. Over the past couple of years, the Federal Reserve has handed out billions to banks as if it was running a charity instead of safeguarding the economy. In 2023 alone, the Fed dished out a whopping $176 billion to banks, and about 44% of that ended up in foreign banks. Why are we allowing this massive flow of cash when our own country is neck-deep in debt due to reckless spending? It’s time to hold the Fed accountable for these colossal handouts that drain the lifeblood from American taxpayers.
We’ve also got to talk about this lavish new Fed building, mockingly dubbed “the Swamp’s Versailles.” Instead of focusing on helping everyday Americans, elitists like Jerome Powell are wasting away precious taxpayer funds on opulent office spaces. President Trump, a voice of reason, rightly challenged Powell on the exorbitant costs. The message couldn’t be clearer: Enough with the reckless spending that mirrors bureaucratic indulgence! Perhaps Powell should experience the job market he helps shape with his contentious decisions.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, another rare common-sense voice in this chaotic swamp, has questioned if the Federal Reserve is even achieving its mission. With all their PhDs and lofty talk, have they actually succeeded, or is this just a universal basic income for out-of-touch academics? The bureaucracy and incompetence are stunning, but unfortunately not surprising.
In light of all this, auditing the Fed becomes an urgent necessity. Americans deserve to know whether those supposedly guiding our economy are acting in our interests or their own. Are we ready to stand by while bureaucrats waste our resources? It’s time for a public reckoning. An audit is not just a request but a demand for justice that echoes from every corner of this great nation. Are we just going to sit back, or are we going to insist on real transparency?
