Do you believe that Congress should audit the Federal Reserve System ?

And why ? If you were a lawmaker, would you support a bill requiring such an audit ?

Update:

I am loving these answers !

    This "audit" would in all probability, throw this country into an unprecedented rage, worse than the forthcoming Immigration Reform scheduled for early next year ( Amnesty, which will just like this Healthcare nightmare, be "pushed" onto the public, despite overwhelming majority opposition of citizens ).

    The Federal Reserve is so "untouchable", not even the news media are talking about it except in "generalities". And it appears the Democrats have a very "special" interest in there NOT being any audit now or in the near future, they pulled a "majority" move and killed the Republican Resolution calling for such an audit, immediately.

    This Congress is truly the most blatant example of corruption and "power" exercising one in our history..........they totally ignore the citizens.

    No No No No!!!!! The Federal Reserve is the government's "private buisness" and the people aren't even allowed to know what's up with it.

    Take the Federal Reserve out!!!!!!

    But if we should keep it then let's check out what is going on with tax payers money.

    Good point. And yes, and it should happen. Remember taxation without representation is unconstitutional, and an audit would expose that as the case.

    Yes, if for no other reason than to find out how much money it has illegally thrown around before it is eliminated.
