Nearly six years ago, flanked by members of the Campaign for Liberty started after his father's presidential campaign, a longshot Kentucky candidate for Senate leaned into abullhorn and called for the Federal Reserve to be scrapped.
"I don't oppose the Federal Reserve because it is secretive, though it is," said Rand Paul at an April 25, 2009, "End the Fed" rally. "I don't oppose the Federal Reserve because it lacks congressional oversight, although it does. I don'toppose the Federal Reserve because it's a private cartel, though it is. I oppose the Federal Reserve primarily because it wreaks havoc on the economy. We need to understand that this is the most important question of the last 30, 40 years. What caused the panic of 2008? Was it capitalism or was it the Federal Reserve?"
The crowd gave Paul the answer he craved. It was the Fed, obviously, that sparked the crash. In those early days of the Tea Party movement, activists inspired by the Pauls and seeking culprits for the Great Recession brought Fed-bashing into the political mainstream. Rand Paul, who won a Senate seat in2010, has perennially introduced legislation to audit the central bank and give Congress power over its decisions; versions of this passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in 2012 and 2014.
"The Fed is now in every nook and cranny of banking with unprecedented regulatory powers and no Congressional oversight," reads the copy on hissite, written in Paul's voice. "I believe the Fed should be Audited and the regulatory power should be placed back under the control of Congress."

He's just warned that the Fed's investments are opaque and that the dollar, effectively, is now backed by "used car loans, badhome loans, distressed assets and derivatives," and he's claimed that the Fed is over-leveraged 80 to 1.
The question has an answer: Paul is talking about the deep-seated fear
