Senator Bernie Sanders
Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill that would require stricter
oversight of the Federal Reserve. Sanders talks with VPR's Jane Lindholm about why
he thinks that is necessary. And Tuck School of Business professor Matthew Slaughter joins us. He is
one of the nearly 200 signers of an "Open letter to Congress and the
Executive Branch" calling for continued independence of the Federal
Reserve. He spoke with VPR's Jane Lindholm about why he opposes
increased oversight of the Federal Reserve - the type Bernie Sanders is
proposing.
