Looks like Dr. Paul is gaining a lot of support for this. What are your thoughts?

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

is this the auditing the Fed proposal?

[Machu505]

Yay Capito supports this.

[xshady121]

is this the auditing the Fed proposal?

Yes it is.

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

Yes it is.

ok cool.

On its face I supprt this and I 'm going to go read the full proposal

[loveisdead]

Absolutely support this.

[Praetor]

I really hope this takes off.

[Machu505]

This passed (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/08/senate-passed-bill-would_n_199402.html) in the Senate 95-1.

[wrppdarndyrfngr]

holy crap. thats awesome

[Praetor]

No similar measure is in the House version of the bill, so conference negotiators will determine whether it makes the final package headed to Obama's desk. Looks like it's not there yet, but with such an easy 'yes' in the Senate I doubt it will be much of a problem. Great news.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-described socialist, is pushing the issue, as is Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), a libertarian.
Also really cool to see how people on opposite sides of the spectrum are coming together to support such an important bill.

Why would you not sign on to this? It seems like a no-brainer.

Don't know if I like the Fed becoming a political tool.
