re: #5 Walter L. Newton

Then there must be some merit in this, or else how did he get it passed. Couldn’t the left keep it from passing?

It got tacked on as an amendment. But the Left is probably salivating over the possibility of exerting direct Congressional control over yet another gigantic chunk of money, so they’re probably happy to go along with what will probably turn into a three ring circus.

In fact, that’s guaranteed, since Paul has stated that he doesn’t care about the audit itself so much as the possibility of using it as a gigantic fishing expedition. If you think Beck distorts facts, wait ‘til Paul gets going on “explaining” the inner workings of the Fed to the media.
