    what would be the auditors' reason for wanting to cook the books? Your wanting to audit the auditors for cooking the Fed's books, is that right? I think it's unlikely that the auditors can cook the Fed's books. All they can cook is the thing that the do, the audit itself. Why would they want to do that?? I can see why Musk and Trump might want to cook the audit, as they are trying to seize power that Constitutionally belongs to the Congress by tearing down a government that's been in operation for over 200 years.

    There are two auditors. One is an internal auditor (not one person of course, it's a big operation) for the Fed and the other is the external auditor.

    May I suggest you spend some time at FederalReserve.gov. I would start with the financial accounts guide, then go to Financial Accounts of the United States. You can download the spread sheets. The Fed is most likely the single largest employer of PhD economists in the country, a couple hundred i guess, and likely a huge number of accountants as well. Here may be something of interest. https://www.federalreserve.gov/regreform/audit.htm

    This: https://oig.federalreserve.gov/reports.htm may also be of interest to you.

    That's fine. Everyone is in favor of audits. As the Fed is already thoroughly audited twice over (internally and externally) What in addition to all the auditing that all ready exists would you like to have audited?

    The Barron's article is behind a paywall. Seems I can't access it. But thanks anyway. I am quite familiar with Ron Paul and his nutty belief in the gold standard, and so far as I know his son Rand believes similar. I understand why Ron Paul (is he still alive) doesn't understand money, he thinks the same as my now deceased parents did. I don't understand however anyone could serve for years in the U.S. Congress after about 2000 and still not have a better understanding of our money, where it comes from, and what the constraints are. I'll maybe have time to look at the unrelated "Broken Record" article later.

    A - Your wife is cheating on you

    B - Eh, well, that's possible, many people are cheaters...

    A - I have proof...

    B - OK, let's see it...

    A - She has contacted tens of thousands of men on the internet...

    B - Oh, my goodness...

    A - Yes, she has had sex with thousands of men the last year alone...

    B - Oh, god, it's worse than I thought!!!

    *C* - Hi, I'm an expert on online advertising, what that idiot means is that there are thousands of cookies on you wife's laptop, almost all from advertising services, every time you visit any site that site alone has hundreds of cookies from advertisers, this is a well known system and you can easily google to verify this (which does not mean that your wife is 100% NOT cheating on you, just that these cookies have nothing to do with it and whoever is telling you otherwise is either a moron or a liar - or both).

    A - Errr... I'm gonna need all your passwords to discover the identities of all other men 3000-some-ing your wife. Your marriage, your life and your country are at stake!

    B - Oh, my goodness, A would never lie to me, so C must be one of those deep-something guys fucking my wife and pretending to convince me to drop the case. A, here's my master password, you're my only hope, a true friend and a real patriot. Now, where's my gun?

    Zerohedge is a joke. They miscalled markets for years badly and are run by a guy banned from trading due to illegal insider trading.

    You truly post some of the dumbest recent theories on this site. You are reminding me an awful lot of "Beautiful Stranger" who went off the deep end insisting the election fraud was real based on his analysis. Your ideas aren't grounded with much common sense.

    There is no doubt that he is; Trump seems to have lit these guys up.
