Don't know how many times this has to be disproved. Ron Paul was in office for 16 years and could not get an audit passed. Bernie got the first ever audit passed by compromising to audit just the bailout period. Of course he wants to go further by doing a full audit. That's what he wanted then and that's what he wants now.

Uh no, he bated and switched it at the 11th hour with an impotent audit that included ZERO provisions to monitor the discount window, interest rates, or foreign contract activities of the Fed, i.e. the entire basis of how it sets monetary policy.

Your spin notwithstanding, Sanders was just another Judas on behalf of banking interests, because he sabotaged a real audit and pushed through the bill they were lobbying for.
