TD₿: Ron Paul Exposes Truth on Auditing the Fed, U.S. Gold Holdings & Mega-Wealthy Politicians - (a Coin Stories video) with Ron Paul and Natalie Burnell
TL;DR: Dr. Paul critiques government waste and fraud, noting the gap between elected officials' salaries and their vast fortunes. This discussion questions the efficiency and integrity of the politics
Hey Bitcoiners,
In this episode with Dr. Ron Paul, the conversation opens with a critical examination of government waste and fraud, spotlighting the stark contrast between the modest salaries of elected officials and the immense fortunes they hold—highlighting instances where officials worth $50 million earn only $200,000. This provocative discussion sets the stage for questioning the efficiency and integrity of our political system.
Dr. Paul and Natalie then turns their attention to the nation’s financial underpinnings, questioning whether the U.S. actually possesses all the gold it claims to hold. They delve into the necessity of auditing key institutions—including the Federal Reserve, Fort Knox, and other government agencies—to ensure transparency and accountability within the structures that underpin the country’s economic stability.
