What's Wrong With Audit Patman pushes GAO review of Fed books
Congressman Wright Patman of Texas has introduced a bill to force GAO audits of the Federal Reserve every three years. The measure passed the House Banking Committee 21 to 8 but is stalled in Rules.

He cites millions in internal expenses and luxury items, urging a transparent audit to curb profligacy and inflation.
