Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul come together on “audit the Fed” amendment in Senate
Independent Senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders (who is also closely associated with the Vermont Progressive Party, used to be a member of various third parties, and calls himself a democratic socialist) has been working with Republican Representative Ron Paul, who ran as a Libertarian for president in 1988 and endorsed Constitution Party candidate Chuck Baldwin in 2008, to pass some sort of amendment to a financial regulation bill to “audit the fed” [Federal Reserve]. At first, Paul criticized the compromise Sanders had worked out, but now Paul is saying that it’s worth voting for, meaning that two men who are perhaps the most third-party-friendly out of all of Congress are working together. More information on this, and other related amendments, can be found here [at the Huffington Post].
