38] – The Committee for the Republic [events@committeefortherepublic.org] is hosting on Wed., April 12 at 7 PM ET Tom Hoenig who will address Will the Federal Reserve Control Inflation? Participate online at https://zoom.us/j/7812458066. RSVP at Events@CommitteefortheRepublic.org. Tom Hoenig is the great dissenter of the Federal Reserve. As President of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank and member of the Federal Open Market Committee during the reigns of Greenspan and Bernanke, he consistently opposed quantitative easing. Tom had the confidence of his central banking experience and the courage to be the sole "No" vote against his chairman and colleagues. Therefore, Tom is uniquely qualified to address the crippling inflation and destabilizing asset inflation caused by the Fed’s unrestrained printing of money without legal guardrails. If the Fed had followed Tom's advice, there would be no Silicon Valley bank failure and central banking crisis today.
