I doubt that most people understand how auditing/ending the Fed would be devastating to the exercise of state power. It’s what allows a central government to accomplish – without much public awareness as to causal factors – its continued metastasizing; the costs of doing so concealed in steadily increasing inflation. Hint: look at the difficulties state and local governments – who have no money printing presses – are currently having maintaining their reach of power. It was no coincidence that the principal architect of American Leviathan, Alexander Hamilton, had central banking as its foundation.

A true auditing of the Fed will allow even Boobus to “follow the money” and see who “we the people” are for whom this racket was intended to benefit. An awareness of the narrow range of interests who define the “general welfare,” may bring about pressures for the abolition of central banking.
