Paul and his father Ron Paul.<\/p>\n<p>And Trump is doing something Bernie Sanders won\u2019t do, despite the socialist claiming he\u2019s against the banks; back in 2010, Sanders killed then-Rep. Ron Paul\u2019s \u201cAudit the Fed\u201d bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBernie Sanders has sold out and sided with [Sen.] Chris Dodd to gut Audit the Fed in the Senate. His \u2018compromise\u2019 is what the administration and banking interests want,\u201d Ron Paul wrote on Facebook not long afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders finally voted \u201cyes\u201d on Sen. Paul\u2019s more recent \u201cAudit the Fed\u201d proposal, but likely only because he was under more scrutiny than before.<\/p>\n<p>As for Ted Cruz, his known ties to Goldman Sachs reveal why he skipped the latest \u201cAudit the Fed\u201d vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou take a guy like Cruz, people are liking the Cruz \u2014 they think he\u2019s for the free market, and [in reality] he\u2019s owned by Goldman Sachs,\u201d Ron Paul said of the Texas senator on Fox Business\u2019 <em>Varney &amp; Company<\/em>. \u201cI mean, he and Hillary have more in common than we would have with Cruz and Trump or any of them so I just don\u2019t think there is much picking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/trump-calls-for-auditing-the-fed\/\">http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/trump-calls-for-auditing-the-fed\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GOP frontrunner makes good on promise to call for audit of Fed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32081\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
