“Inflation, indeed, throws a veil of illusion over every economic process. It confuses and deceives almost everyone, including even those who suffer by it. We are all accustomed to measuring our income and wealth in terms of money. The mental habit is so strong that even professional economists and statisticians cannot consistently break it. It is not easy to see relationships always in terms of real goods and real welfare. [...] Inflation is the autosuggestion, the hypnotism, the anesthetic, that has dulled the pain of the operation for him. Inflation is the opium of the people.”
— Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson

I,too, am excited about H.R.1207.Do I think that it has a realstic chance of getting passed in its current form, no.The Fed is the blank check for socialism and those in that movement and who have that agenda will do nothing to harm the goose that lays their golden eggs.Since the majority of the Democratic party are , in my opinion, socialist, they will raise no hand in anger towards the Federal Reserve and they are in control.Sadly.

I heard Obama say he would like the FED to be in charge of regulating our banking system. Isn’t that what the FED has already been doing for years, controlling our banking and our financial systems?
As HR1207 has gained interest and co-sponsorship (which excites me to no end!), it would appear as if Obama’s way of defeating it is by way of making the FED formally in charge of regulating the banking system rather than auditing the FED and getting rid of this unnecessary corporation.
