Rand Paul confirms the gold is still at Fort Knox, revealing that roughly 147 million ounces remain in the U.S. Bullion Depository. The Kentucky senator also sounds the alarm over the U.S. dollar, inflation, deficit spending and the loss of purchasing power since the 1971 break with gold. Paul’s Fort Knox visit comes after long back when Elon Musk questioned whether America’s gold reserves were still there, reigniting the debate over Fort Knox, gold and the dollar.

Rand Paul warns the dollar has lost purchasing power, blaming federal spending and money printing for today’s affordability crisis.

Sen. Rand Paul’s brief Fort Knox tour was no real audit. Full accountability requires passing the Gold Reserve Transparency Act.
