Dr. Paul explains that the creation of money by the Federal Reserve destroys the value of the currency, shrinks the middle class, and enriches banks. “The system is biased against the middle class and the poor,” he says.
Dr. Paul pushes for a full audit of the Fed, an effort that Bernanke opposes. Dr. Paul believes his audit bill is the first step towards a solution and predicts the economic crisis, caused by the Federal Reserve, is far from over.
