Well, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) continues to impress.
Gabbard is a co-sponsor of H.R.24 The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2019. This is also known as an Audit the Fed bill.
She joins 83 others in supporting “a full audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks by the Comptroller General of the United States, and for other purposes.”
The legislation has drawn mixed applause from libertarians. One tent contends that this is a step in the right direction to dismantling the Fed, while another group asserts that this could lead to a dangerous path of handing over control to Congress in the form of MMT.
At least is attracts attention to the Eccles Building. Who knows? Maybe a politician will propose a bill to audit gold reserves at Fort Knox or submit legislation to abolish the Fed.
But good for Gabbard. Her economics a pretty bad, but she shares many of the same positions as libertarians, from surveillance to war.
