News Date: August 16, 2020

A somewhat polemical term for a currency backed by a tangible commodity such as gold, silver or platinum. Sound money has an intrinsic value, but is more susceptible to deflation than fiat money. Many countries used sound money throughout most of their histories; however, most countries today use fiat money and have since the United States left the Bretton Woods System in the 1970s. The term "sound money" is often used by those who favor its reintroduction. The more common term is hard money.
Given the current fiat money system is on a path towards its own destruction it is not surprising that there has been increasing talk of a monetary reset.

Audit the Fed bill reintroduced

U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has reintroduced the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, also known as the "Audit the Fed" bill, aiming to prevent the Federal Reserve from withholding vital information on its operations from Congress.
Paul contends that the inner workings of the Federal Reserve are currently obscure and largely unknown, and he believes that increased transparency is crucial for better understanding and oversight.
The legislation underscores the importance of making the Federal Reserve more accountable to Congress and the public, ensuring that its decision-making processes and financial transactions are subject to thorough scrutiny.
"No institution holds more power over the future of the American economy and the value of our savings than the Federal Reserve. It's long past time for Congress to stop shirking its duty and hold the Federal Reserve accountable.
The Fed's persistent cycle of money printing and lending without any form of meaningful oversight may be the cause of many of our economic hardships, such as the struggle of many Americans to afford food."
he stated.
