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.

Hypocritical Sanders jumps on the wagon that has been pushed by GOP politicians for years

You realize Bernie wanted to audit the Fed -for just the bailout period- so that the damn bill could get passed in the first place.

No audit the Fed bill had passed before that.

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 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.
