Just nine percent (9%) of adults think that’s a bad idea and oppose it. Fifteen percent (15%) aren’t sure. Over half the members of the House now support a bill giving the Government Accounting Office, Congress’ investigative agency, the authorization to audit the books of the Federal Reserve Board.
Support for the bill has grown now that the Obama administration is proposing to give the Fed greater economic regulatory powers. The Fed which sets U.S. monetary policy was created as an [ostensibly] independent agency to keep it free of politically-motivated interference.

Get rid of the Federal Reserve,income tax,welfare,privatize Social Security,replace medicare and medicaid with investment like privatized Social Security, and get rid of most of the Fed. Yet we should put more money into border security and military spending.

I’m surprised that 9% opposed auditing the fed. That means 90 people were against it, haha probably because they were annoyed by the call.
