Mitch McConnell wants to know what the Fed is up to

Mitch McConnell is going after the Fed

Just before the Senate left town on recess this afternoon, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave his Kentucky colleague and GOP presidential hopeful, Rand Paul, some holiday cheer.

When they get back, McConnell’s gonna hold a vote on one of Paul’s pet projects: a bill that would let the GAO audit the Fed’s monetary policy decisions.

That is what, the Fed does on interest rates.

Yeah, no, Janet Yellen’s not gonna be happy about that — we know what she’s thinking.
