This happened and I was not paying attention. I recommend those of you not familiar,  start to become educated.  This could be BIG.

Senator Rand Paul AND Senator Bernie Sanders criticize the Federal Reserve's policy of paying interest on bank reserves, claiming it acts as a $XXX billion bailout, with XX% going to foreign banks, based on economist Judy Shelton’s analysis. 

He argues this reduces lending to American families and small businesses, costing XXX% GDP growth per a 2019 Federal Reserve study. Paul introduces the "End the Fed’s Big Bank Bailout Act," co-sponsored by Bernie Sanders, to end these payments, marking a rare bipartisan effort.

 This follows Shelton’s controversial 2020 Federal Reserve nomination rejection by over XXX economists due to her unorthodox views, including a 2016 gold standard proposal.

 Data from the 2008 crisis shows bank reserves jumped from $X billion to over $X trillion by 2014, with a 2021 IMF report suggesting only a XXX% stability gain, challenging the policy's necessity.
