This alone is enough reason to switch party control of Congress. Republican chairman of the committee would let it through.
Have you noticed the Fed apologists have largely dissapeared from FR threads?

Wonder if the people in Frank’s district would care about the auditing of the Federal Reserve? It seems like something pubs and dems could actually agree on since it’s not a partisan organization.

Just another example of the media’s gross negligence. If they were all reporting on this, there would be enough pressure on congress to bring it out of committee.

Picking nits, but the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is responsible for the printing of currency, not the Mint. An error like that detracts from the message of the article. Also, there was no discussion of the use of a discharge petition to force a vote on the bill. Can it be used? If it isn't possible, why not?

What this story neglects (and inquiring minds want to know why, as an audit might reveal something they do not want exposed) is WHY/HOW the Fascist Administration so opposed this full audit?
And what our (Vermont's) Commie Senator (Bernie) Sanders (he who hypocritically continues to claim he looks out for the "little guy") got in exchange for his intentionally watering down the bill?
Something about this stinks to high heaven and it isn't in Denmark, but on the shores of Gomorrah on the Potomac!

3/4 of Congresscritters CLAIM to support auditing the Fed. It’s not the law because many of those are liars playing to the general public when they make that claim and then doing what they want.

You think congress is more powerful than the fed??

Actually what the committee system does is give the rest of the members of the House the cover to say that they favor such an audit when they know they will never have to vote on it.
