Russ Feingold: In the News - Press Releases: "The American people deserve to know how trillions of their tax dollars have been used.� While millions of Americans continue to look for jobs, the Fed has been doling out huge sums of money to corporations and financial institutions, some of which may have contributed to the financial crisis. Senator Sanders’ amendment will mean more transparency for the Federal Reserve, so the public will have a better idea of how it is spending taxpayer dollars. Unfortunately, the defeat of the Vitter amendment means American taxpayers will still not have a complete picture of how one of the most powerful government agencies makes policy and spends their tax dollars."
