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?

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