Yes, Fox on 15th Street strikes again. The Washington Post reported on a letter signed by more than 250 economists that warned against efforts to make the Fed more accountable to Congress. Remarkably, it has never seen fit to note the main item that would lead to more accountability: a bill sponsored by representatives Ron Paul and Alan Grayson, which would require the Government Accountability Office to audit the Fed. This measure, which is supported by both the most progressive and most conservative members of the House, has the support of more than 250 members of the House.
There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make what we do possible. This month, we're trying to raise $50,000 to help fuel our election coverage, and we've fallen behind on reaching our goal. Any amount you give today will bring us closer to making our reporting possible—and a generous donor has agreed to match all online donations, so your impact will be doubled.
