I'd be really interested to hear the arguments for voting against something like this.

It'll definitely involve an audit somehow violating the 4th Amendment and terrorism.

The fed's job in determining fiscal policy is so precarious that any public scrutiny or oversight puts the whole nation at risk.

At least that's the argument. The same argument for why we have representatives rather than direct democracy- if the public had any power over policy there would be total chaos.

Of course, most people would readily agree that this lack of accountability and governmental opacity creates the circumstances for the ongoing corruption that dominates representative governments and clandestine bureaucracies like the fed.

Of course, most people don't have to political fortitude to do anything about all this.

Well Sanders is obviously one of the only Presidential candidates willing to work across the aisle. That's why I like him.

I saw it on C-Span. Sanders waited till everyone elses' votes were counted to make sure it wouldn't pass, before casting his "yes" vote. His was the very last vote to come in. If his had been the deciding vote, he'd have had to vote "no" like the rest of his party.

This is a common scam employed by those in congress, to fool constituents into believing they care about them.

The list is exactly what you expect. Nearly every single democrat voted against this except for 1 or 2 and Sanders who is an independent. They protect their own interests and its in their best interests to not shine a light on the endless redundancy that provides jobs with increasingly long titles to total morons.
