semi hijack…

What say you folks about the House bill HR 1207 and Senate bill S 604.

These are the companion bills to audit the Fed more openly. I think we can all agree that the Fed has *some* auditing going on. Should there be a more open/broad audit?

“Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009”, introduced in the House by Rep. Ron Paul, currently languishing in committee. Has 319 cosponsors.

“Federal Reserve Sunshine Act of 2009”
introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, currently languishing in committee. Has 32 cosponsors.

Looking at the cosponsors – it’s got bipartison support… But looking at the status… It’s probably dead in committee.
