Comment | Rep. Massie: Audit the Federal Reserve
Congressional committees are jokingly referred to as the place where bills go to die. However, I’m happy to report that my bipartisan bill to audit the Federal Reserve passed the House Oversight and Government Reform committee by unanimous consent this summer, and is now eligible to come before the full House for a vote. Since 90 percent of bills die in committee, you could say that my legislation had a near-death experience, but that’s a good thing.
The Innovation Act Would Hurt Inventors Like Me, And Thousands Of Others
At the recent Northern Kentucky Regional First LEGO League Robotics tournament, I marveled at the imagination and creativity displayed by so many young people.

The 2014 Cato Institute Surveillance Conference: Introduction and Opening
Never in human history have people been more connected than they are today — nor have they been more thoroughly monitored. Over the past year, the disclosures spurred by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden have drawn public attention to the stunning surveillance capabilities of the American intelligence community, and the unprecedented volume of data they collect from hundreds of millions of people around the world.
