Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday reintroduced legislation to force a government watchdog audit of the Federal Reserve, and the bill has its best chance yet of finally clearing Congress.

Mr. Pauls father, former Rep. Ron Paul, pioneered the push for the legislation during his time in the House, and turned it into a potent political weapon during his presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012. His son, the senator, who is eyeing a 2016 presidential bid, has picked up the banner.

A complete and thorough audit of the Fed will finally allow the American people to know exactly how their money is being spent by Washington, the senator said in a statement. The Feds currently operates under a cloak of secrecy and it has gone on for too long.

His legislation has 30 sponsors, including Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, the sole Senate Democrat who has signed onto the bill as of now.

In a statement, Ms. Hirono praised the Fed for helping the economy recover from the 2008 slump.

That said, were now far enough away from the financial crisis for a full and transparent review of the actions taken on behalf of American taxpayers, she said. Greater transparency will help us prevent another Great Recession, and I believe will increase the American publics confidence in the Fed rather than diminishing it.

A similar bill has cleared the House twice in recent years with overwhelming support, including about half of House Democrats. But Sen. Harry Reid, who was majority leader of the Senate until his partys catastrophic election losses last year, blocked Senate action.

New Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican along with Mr. Paul, is a co-sponsor of the audit bill, and it is likely to receive a vote at some point.

Both Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, two other Republicans pondering White House runs, lSO joined as co-sponsors.

The Fed has expanded its balance sheet fivefold, yet economic growth is still tepid, businesses are sitting on cash, and median income and household wealth are depressed, Mr. Cruz said in a statement.

The three Republicans senators potentially running for the White House in 2016 agree on at least one thing: The Federal Reserve should be audited.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul re-introduced a bill with Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida on Wednesday to order the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office to review the Feds monetary policy decision making and increase congressional oversight.

The bill has a much greater chance of making it to the Senate floor under new Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is one of 30 co-sponsors according to Pauls office. Former Rep. Ron Paul, Rands father, pressed lawmakers for years to audit the Federal Reserve and similar bills have passed the Republican-controlled House in the past.

A complete and thorough audit of the Fed will finally allow the American people to know exactly how their money is being spent by Washington, said Paul in a statement. The Feds currently operates under a cloak of secrecy and it has gone on for too long. The American people have a right to know what the Federal Reserve is doing with our nations money supply. The time to act is now.

The bill is unlikely to be signed into law by President Obama. In December, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said that she would forcefully oppose such legislation as it would jeopardize the central banks independence with short-run political interference, according to the Hill.
