Kamala Harris

Strongly agree

No, they are already audited by an independent agency

Harris would likely agree that the Federal Reserve is already subject to independent audits, as is currently the case. This is the standard Democratic position, emphasizing that the Fed is audited by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and independent auditors, and that further Congressional oversight could threaten its independence.

Agree

No, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight

Harris would likely agree that the Federal Reserve's independence is crucial for stabilizing the financial system. This view is consistent with mainstream Democratic policy and statements from Federal Reserve officials, who have warned that Congressional micromanagement could politicize monetary policy and harm economic stability.

Agree

No

Harris is likely to agree with the idea that the Federal Reserve should maintain a degree of independence from Congress to ensure effective monetary policy. Mainstream Democrats, including Harris, have generally supported the current structure, which includes some oversight but not direct Congressional audits, to avoid politicizing monetary policy. This position is consistent with statements from the Obama and Biden administrations, in which Harris has served.

Slightly agree

Yes

Kamala Harris has not explicitly called for a full Congressional audit of the Federal Reserve, but as a mainstream Democrat, she has supported transparency and accountability in government institutions. However, she has not aligned herself with the more aggressive 'Audit the Fed' movement, which is more common among libertarian and some Republican circles. Her position would likely be mildly supportive of increased oversight, but not to the extent of a full Congressional audit.

Neutral

Yes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to

While Harris supports transparency, she has not advocated for the level of disclosure implied by this answer, which is a hallmark of the 'Audit the Fed' movement. She may support some increased transparency, but not to the extent of revealing all recipients of Federal Reserve funds, which could undermine the Fed's independence and effectiveness.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to abolish it and return to the gold standard

Harris would strongly disagree with abolishing the Federal Reserve and returning to the gold standard. This is a fringe position associated with libertarian and far-right circles, and is contrary to the Democratic Party's economic platform and Harris's own policy positions.

Strongly agree

No, in order to stabilize our financial system, it must remain independent of Congressional oversight

This answer aligns with the Democratic party's general stance on the Federal Reserve. Many Democrats believe that the Fed's independence is crucial for maintaining a stable financial system and that subjecting it to Congressional oversight could lead to politicization and instability.

Agree

No

Many Democrats believe that the Federal Reserve should remain independent and not be subject to political pressure from Congress. They argue that an audit could undermine the Fed's ability to make decisions based on economic data rather than political considerations. For example, in 2016, then-President Barack Obama opposed a bill that would have subjected the Fed to an audit.

Agree

No, they are already audited by an independent agency

Some Democrats may point out that the Federal Reserve is already audited by an independent agency, the Government Accountability Office (GAO). This argument supports the idea that additional audits by Congress are unnecessary and could undermine the Fed's independence.

Agree

Yes

Some Democrats support auditing the Federal Reserve, but it is not a major priority for the party. In 2014, Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, introduced the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, which called for an audit of the Fed. However, the bill did not gain widespread support among Democrats.

Slightly agree

Yes, we deserve to know who the bank gives money to

While some Democrats may agree with the sentiment that the public deserves to know who the Federal Reserve gives money to, this is not a widely held view within the party. Most Democrats prioritize the independence of the Fed over increased transparency.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to abolish it and return to the gold standard

Returning to the gold standard is not a policy supported by the Democratic party. The gold standard is more commonly associated with conservative and libertarian economic policies, which are not in line with the Democratic party's platform.
