The federal Reserve is independently audit every year and releases to the public audit financial statements. This is just a naked power grab to put monetary policy under congross control.
There is no transparency.

There is a shit ton of transparency. There is thw biege book. There is audited financials. There are meeting minutes. The is press conferences. They operate out in the open. This is an attempt fo take the independence of the fed away.

By an independent committee that will release their findings to the public. No one is allowed to know what kind of deals the Fed has made with other countries and private banks from other countries. There's absolutely no real audit going on right now because it's all internal and paid for by the banks being audited.
Why wouldn't they pay for their own auditing? Why would they publish it? Do you know what auditing is?

By congress because the goal is to take away the independence of the central bank.

I would like an independant fed audit, but there's a more general (and fundamental problem) with this statment.
"We Need" is, imo the most appauling combination of words in the human language. You cannot know what I need unless you understand my goals. You cannot legitimately speak on my behalf without my consent. Bernie Sanders possesses neither one of these things.

I have good news for your first point. They go through a independent audit every year.

Supposing that's true, and in some sense it appears that it is (http://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_12784.htm), then perhaps what I'd like is something more than an audit. This was besides the actual point I wanted to make. I brought up my interest in the audit only so people would not claim that I'm criticizing Sander's behavior because I disagree with the goal he's stated.
