"Let A Little Daylight In"
I've been remiss in commenting on this. But I think it's important. It's also a now-or-never type of issue.

Because historically there is no correlation between Central Bank Independence and inflation?
Surely if Dr. Ron can't rely on the market to produce an affirmation of the Austrian inflation narrative, he will ensure that populist politics delivers.
Keep shorting the world, men. Reputations are on the line.
"Any substantial erosion of the Federal Reserve's monetary independence likely would lead to higher long-term interest rates as investors begin to fear future inflation," Kohn said in remarks prepared for delivery before a congressional committee.
Wow, exactly how does a simple audit "threaten their independence"?
The piece you cite is incorrect -- the Fed has given or guaranteed at least $13,000,000,000,000, and where it went is a secret.
If I recall correctly, there is a provision in the original Fed charter that empowers Congress to buy the Fed back for $40MM. If that is still in effect, why create new legislation?
Very helpful info, thanks so much for the post.
