Bernie Sanders Rides

   This should pass:

An amendment sponsored by the independent senator from Vermont to require Federal Reserve audits is gaining momentum, powered by a coalition of activists on the left and right who are taking aim at the financial establishment for its role in the economic collapse.

Mr. Sanders’s amendment, which is likely to be voted on within days, is worrying White House officials, who say it would violate the central bank’s independence and cripple its ability to protect the economy. The measure would probably need 60 votes to pass—similar legislation received 59 votes last year—and if it seems headed for victory the administration would likely mount a major counteroffensive.

   Bernie Sanders–one of the few elected officials who remembers who he represents.
