I never thought that I would agree with the former chairman, Henry Gonzalez, about doing an audit of the Fed.

We must lift the veil of secrecy and ensure that the Fed is accountable to the people's representatives.

Actually, we can, because the courts have been able to do that, and the district court was quite able to do that.
