Soon, the Federal Reserve could be forced for the first time to open its books and expose its machinations to Congress.
Senator Rand Paul (shown, R-Ky.) reports that he is “about seven votes short” of the 60 votes he believes would be procedurally sufficient to get a vote in the Senate.
In an interview with Kitco News just moments after he left the stage at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas, Paul explained that while the House of Representatives has passed numerous measures aimed at auditing the Federal Reserve, it is “taking forever in the Senate.”
He promises that he will keep trying, however, and he told Kitco News that he would be looking to bring Democrats on board as co-sponsors this time around in an effort to expand the reach of the measure.
Paul reports that he has targeted one influential Democrat in particular to be a co-sponsor: Bernie Sanders.
