Buck to Bennet: Don’t Squander Another Opportunity for Good Government and Financial Responsibility

Buck to Bennet: Don’t Squander Another Opportunity for Good Government and Financial Responsibility

Today, U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck called on Sen. Michael Bennet to join the growing, bipartisan group in Congress and sign on as a cosponsor for the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act.

In an email to Sen. Bennet, Buck stated that “auditing Federal Reserve operations isn't a political question. It's a simple matter of good government and financial responsibility.”

The Federal Reserve Sunshine Act, S. 604, would force the Fed to open its books to the Government Accountability Office. The bill has 30 Senate co-sponsors, and 309 representatives are co-sponsoring H.R. 1207, the House version of the bill. Six of Colorado's seven representatives are co-sponsors. But Sen. Michael Bennet is not cosponsoring this bill.

Sen. Bennet has consistently refused to stand up to big spending in Washington, D.C., which was first seen by his support of the $787 billion “stimulus” package, which he rubber-stamped without reading.

“Congress and the American people should at least find out whether the trillions of dollars the government has shoveled into the financial system have been effective,” added Buck. “Future public officials, faced with a similar financial emergency, need to know which measures succeeded, and which were mistakes. The only way to find out is with an independent audit.”
