Auditing the FEDs is no longer important...it is to terminate FEDs now and take them to court.

In an alternate universe, Ron Paul is about to finish his second term as president.

Ron Paul oozes of honesty, intelligence, and brilliance. Reminds me of my father. Makes me want to be like him.

He tried to warn us, but America didn't listen.

Almost 12 years later and things have only gotten worse. Sorry Ron.

It would be nice to have a Constitution Party where the ethos is to stick very close to the tenets of the constitution itself as the senate has been taking a dump on the American people for decades.

President Paul! President Paul! President Paul!

thank you for the video.

about time CATO got a clue!

Preach

God job Cato.

Its nice to see too previous enemies Ron Paul and Cato together. They are the two biggest forces in Libertarianism.

Hayek is also a good link. I also heard during an interview also Milton Friedman was in favor of of ending the Fed, e.g. not only the Austrian school. Perhaps some with Cato and Von Muses can hold joint meetings on shared topics. Cato could also invite Thomas Woods to discuss his book. I have not really read Woods attacking Cato, unlike some others. Paul's media appearances has improved a lot. He just needs at times to use pauses more often and eventually get some training to optimize.

I think Friedman wanted to print money at a constant rate, i.e., 3% per year, instead of adjusting it to speed up or slow down the economy (what Bernanke refers to as the countercyclical theory). I think this is why they call him a monetarist libertarian. Mises and Rothbard want to let the market choose its money, so it could be gold or any commoditiy. Rothbard also wrote an essay on how he hates Friedman because Friedman was very socialist in some cases. Rockwell had it on his blog.

Only Paul's second appearance at CATO, hopefully more can follow. Charles Koch, the funder was actually a student of Murray Rothbard, who played an important role with Cato before their fallout. There are some bad blood between Cato and the Von Mises institute, and I think Paul with his kindness and never an attack personally, would be able to bring at least some of Cato and Von Mises together.

Ron Paul was elected president. 3 times. But it was reported differently because TPTB wished it so.

@icemanisdangerous ,Spread the word bro.and may peace and truth rules once more.

The Federal Reserve has already been and continues to be audited. I know this because I was once an auditor of a major Federal Reserve branch. And the auditors have done an excellent job. That's why you have never heard of any significant theft of Federal Reserve funds. The internal controls in the Fed are stronger than any other bank, business, or other organization. In other words, the money in the Fed flows precisely as its controllers intend it to. And the real controllers of the Fed's actions are the major banks. So, the problems with the Fed have nothing to do with auditing or the lack of auditing. The audits of the Fed have been and continue to be solid and effective. Thus, calls for "audits of the Fed" are a red herring. The real issue Ron Paul is speaking of here is the need for an examination of how and where the Fed directs the money flow. That's what has been and continues to be missing.

Ron Paul needs to do what he believes he needs to do. He should do these things to support the message he delivers. Otherwise he is nothing but a mouth. Of course, distancing yourself from the conspiracy nuts would mean distancing himself from his base. To listen to the man, I would say he understands enough to be taken seriously, regardless what you want to call the people who he makes sense to.

@icemanisdangerous , but many heads will roll...including those who presently holds power...so we may be still in dreamland...

@jefri53 You need to audit them to know the extent of crimes and gain hard undisputable evidence and make sure those most guilty get what they deserve.

The only way to fix the global money issue is to forgive all debts public & private

@jefri53 And that's why it NEEDs to happen. it's all a big mess

Did he say clout

pray protection for him, Jesus will help

Dr. Paul is absolutely America's last hope. If he doesn't become president in 2012, I'm leaving.

please help support the candidates who are aligned with the campaign for liberty (dot) com Rand Paul in Kentucky running for Senate in 2010. Also Peter Schiff, Adam Kokesh, etc. There is a web-site with the names of others. Just google it.

Can someone explain this to me. I’m trying to understand the fed and it’s importance. I’m trying to understand it’s effects and how it’s making money off of the American people. If someone could leave me links or point me in the right direction to start that would be great. I trust Ron Paul and this is one issue I’m trying to understand.

At least it is one thing we could agree on.

politicians with no agenda for style are my kind of politicians

Ron Paul ran away from Bruno! HAHAHAHAHA! He should have danced with him!

Agree with this guy

I think Peter Schiff presents well. He's a better speaker than Paul.

Cato is funded by Charles Koch.

@carsearch . . . What 'conspiracy nuts' is Paul involved with?

Yeah, he's not a bad speaker. He's just a bit of a yammer hammer. :P

The Fed is audited twice a year, every year.

Ron needs to distance himself from the conspiracy nuts. Things like that will cost him an election.
