Rand Paul Hasn't Been Allowed in Fort Knox for Over 10 Years

Has anyone proven the reserves are even there?

Supposedly, at Fort Knox, there are over 4,580 metric tons of gold that represent a little more than half of the U.S. government’s gold reserves. Still, representatives like Rand Paul and others have been advocating for an audit of the Federal Reserve but haven’t been able to audit Fort Knox or the Fed for more than ten years. Originally, the government’s gold was stored in New York and Philadelphia, but after World War two, things changed. Has America’s wealth been squandered or stolen?

Senator Rand Paul has sent a letter to Scott Bessent of the U.S. Treasury asking for a formal audit, pointing out that there hasn’t been an audit since 1974, but this was a “show” audit with a few politicians being able to peek inside Fort Knox, without a true audit being conducted. The last true audit was in 1853. Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are apparently looking into our gold reserves at Fort Knox, along with the machinations of the U.S. Treasury.
