Is There Gold in Fort Knox?

|| A cold but comfortable couch made from gold bars. ||

Ron Paul stars in: Goldfinger.

Darryl Issa and Michele Bachmann have their lists ready;

Investigations that they want begun once the Republicans re-take control of the House.

It appears that Ron Paul has a list of his own.

Count them gold bars.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said he plans to introduce legislation next year to force an audit of U.S. holdings of gold.

Paul, a longtime critic of the Federal Reserve and U.S. monetary policy, said he believes it’s “a possibility” that there may not actually be any gold in the vaults of Fort Knox or the New York Federal Reserve bank.

The libertarian lawmaker told Kitco News, a website tracking news about precious metals, that an audit was necessary to determine how much the U.S. maintains in gold reserves in case the government were to use gold to back the dollar.

“If there was no question about the gold being there, you think they would be anxious to prove gold is there,” he said.

“Our Federal Reserve admits to nothing, and they should prove all the gold is there. There is a reason to be suspicious and even if you are not suspicious why wouldn’t you have an audit?”

When asked if he thought the gold was gone, Paul replied;

“I think it is a possibility.”

Where they might have gone, he would not say.

As a Conservative Republican I am begging you Rep. Paul.

Please keep your crazy in check until after the November elections.
