"The Soviet Union failed because they could not determine the price of bread. We are in a failure as a country because now we are trying to determine the price of money."

"Transparency of the Federal Reserve has been an issue that I have been working on for many years, and I consider it very, very important."

"I usually think once there is an emphasis on independence of the Fed, it usually means the secrecy of the Fed."

"The Constitution is rather clear on if anybody is to have any oversight, it would be the Congress rather than the Executive Branch."
