The only thing we cannot seem to get audited left is proof-of-ownership of foreign gold reserves. Bernie removed that from the audit last time around. :/

This was one of the comments on Starve's link. Anyone care to actually research this before making proclamations?

I was paying attention to the news at the time. The House version made it to the Senate and was "scaled back" by Sanders. It was even in the news that he scaled it back at the request of the White House, Treasury and others: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/12/business/12regulate.html?_r=5#story-continues-1
I wasn't commenting on the blog post but the general assessment that Sanders had backtracked on specific important changes in 2010.
