The bill proposes a one-year transition period to dissolve the Board of Governors and the twelve regional Federal Reserve banks. During this period, the Fed’s chairman would oversee the liquidation of assets and liabilities, ensuring an orderly wind-down. The proceeds would be transferred to the U.S. Treasury, while outstanding liabilities, including employee benefits, would be assumed by the federal government.

At the end of 18 months, the Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget would be required to report to Congress on the implementation of the bill. Massie, alongside Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), who has introduced a companion bill in the Senate (S. 869), argues that the Federal Reserve is the driving force behind inflation.

“Americans have suffered under crippling inflation, and the Federal Reserve is to blame,” said Massie. “During COVID, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars out of thin air and loaned it to the Treasury Department to enable unprecedented deficit spending. By monetizing the debt, the Federal Reserve devalued the dollar and enabled free money policies that caused high inflation.”

Massie added:

Monetizing debt is a closely coordinated effort between the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, Congress, Big Banks, and Wall Street. Through this process, retirees see their savings evaporate due to the actions of a central bank pursuing inflationary policies that benefit the wealthy and connected. If we really want to reduce inflation, the most effective policy is to end the Federal Reserve.

Critics of the Federal Reserve argue that the central bank operates with unchecked power, manipulating interest rates and money supply to benefit a select few at the expense of ordinary Americans. The process of monetizing debt, Massie contends, enriches banks and Wall Street while eroding the purchasing power of savers, particularly retirees.

Sen. Lee echoed these concerns, stating, “The Federal Reserve has not only failed to achieve its mandate, it has become an economic manipulator, directly contributing to the financial instability many Americans face today.”

The idea of abolishing the Federal Reserve is not new. It was first introduced by former Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) in 1999 and last reintroduced in 2013. Massie’s bill represents a revival of this movement, suggesting that after more than a century of central banking, Americans may be ready to reconsider the necessity of an institution that has presided over multiple economic crises and the steady devaluation of the dollar.

With a Republican-controlled Congress and presidency aligning in favor of such bold reforms, the bill’s passage is no longer a distant fantasy but a realistic possibility that could fundamentally reshape America’s financial system. Whether H.R. 1846 becomes law or sparks a broader movement, it highlights a persistent tension between centralized power and the will of the people, ensuring that the fight over the nation’s economic future is far from resolved.
