Abolition of the Federal Reserve Board: Bill Proposed by Representative Thomas Massie
Representative Thomas Massie has introduced a significant legislative initiative that could change the economic landscape of the United States. The Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act, introduced as H.R. 8421, aims to address issues of inflation and monetary policy.
Summary of the Legislative Proposal
- Objective: The elimination of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve Banks, along with the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
- Reason: Massie criticizes the Federal Reserve for its role in inflation, especially during the pandemic, by creating large sums of money out of thin air and monetizing debt.
- Legislative Support: The proposal has several original co-sponsors, highlighting the interest in this issue at the state level.
- History: This is not the first time such a proposal has been introduced, as former Representative Ron Paul first presented it in 1999.
In addition to this initiative, Representative Massie has also pushed the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2023, aiming to audit the Federal Reserve's operations.
