If you were really worried about the taxpayers' money, you'd want accountability and transparency for this cartel of *private* banks that has intentionally devalued our dollar by more than ninety percent since its inception in 1913.
You could audit the Fed a thousand times, and its negative impact on taxpayers would still be negligible compared to the pernicious theft of their purchasing power that has taken place with no Congressional oversight.
Ron Paul Wastes More Taxpayer Money In Pointless Audit Bill

More insanity from Dr. Anti-Civil Rights Act! Mr. Paul, if you're interested in doing something constructive instead of using taxpayer funds for your crazy conspiracy theories, it would be a positive step forward if you could investigate something very real, the rape culture in the U.S. military.
The House of Representatives passed Congressman Ron Paul’s H.R.459, also titled the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2012.” Contrary to popular claims, the Federal Reserve is, in fact, audited regularly.
...these meetings are to be held in secret in another piece of US Code in addition to the code which would be struck, which means this bill has not changed anything. It was redundant code in the first place.
Ok, so, what else does it call for? It calls for a comptroller audit of the Fed to be done by October 1st. But, checking with the Congressional comptroller’s office, the next audit is due on October 1st anyways. No change here.
...it calls for the audit to include provisions on the home mortgage crisis..the Reserve does not issue home mortgage loans, so this is an audit on nothing.
...annual audits are found on this page

...audit on the TARP program is found here.

The cost of the vote today comes to almost $3.5 million.

As I stated, correctly, the U.S. military has a rape culture.
It almost looks as if multiple, painstaking, in-depth investigations have been undertaken into this matter, some of them redundant and/or investigated by different entities in order to arrive at the whole truth, even after the military itself did their own internal probes.
Maybe you're right and I'm wrong here: Thanks to so many good people persevering (and Congress taking action) until they found out the truth of what was occurring, these egregious violations of the public trust have now come to light and can be dealt with accordingly. What's more, the very fact that a light has now been shone onto this culture of secrecy and its being under closer public scrutiny from here on out will itself help to prevent future mischief.
I apologize for doubting you; my above accusation is withdrawn.

There is an example in the article that doesn't make sense. Ron Paul is not opposed to the investigation in any way, which is going on of the rape culture in the U.S. military, so I think the author of the article was purposely being misleading.
In the article there is a link to Bernie Sanders web site to imply that since there was an audit of the TARP program, there doesn't need to be a full audit. Sanders, by the way, is in support of an audit of the Federal Reserve. Here is an interview with Bernie Sanders on the subject:

If it costs millions of dollars for Congress to vote on a bill, even though Congress is already being paid to do that, the same argument could be made against any bill. Maybe all the bills that were voted on which aren't listed as a power of Congress in the Constitution, as the coining of money is, should never have been put up to a vote.
Keep on twisting the truth like this and you might pull something! And I DON'T mean your head out of your ass.
Damn, that's a great slogan. I wish I'd thought of that! :D

Paul teamed up with former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) in 2010 to pass similar legislation that became part of the final Wall Street reform bill. But Paul has said new audit legislation is needed because the 2010 bill didn't go far enough. Specifically, he states on his website that the audit called for in the 2010 bill only focused on emergency credit programs and procedural issues, rather than on the substantive details of the lending transactions. The 2012 bill doesn't limit the focus of the audit.

And even if this became law and the Fed was audited- what happens when the audit uncovers irregaularities from 1952?
