We work so hard to earn money and the govt and our central banks secretly consider it to be worthless.
While some might perceive this as freaking out over the big things....I might suspect that the top hundred ‘hired-hands’ within the Fed might be worried over their operational costs, travel allowances, and GPC card usage. If you found out that some guy was spending a million a year on travel costs (Asia, Europe, South America, Middle East)....things might spiral out of control for their little empires. This might be the bigger fish within the tank.
Your comment on the fears of a reduction, or even elimination, of the big perks by the 100 top hands is right on target!
How pleasing to us peons to see these parasites fall.
“too important” to be influenced by the American people”
That statement would be enough for me to demand an audit.
Yes, put congress in charge of monetary policy! We can definitely trust them to do a good job!
THE KINGPINS OF CHICAGO CRIMINAL POLITICS IN OUR WH wasted no time.....they had a stranglehold on the Census, AND the US Treasury, from day one.
The minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod/Geithner, and that Practiced bunch of Chicago criminals, landed in the WH they did two things that were apparently crucial to their evil plans
(a) they took control of the US Census;
(b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (cabinet-level agency oversees IRS).
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

The connection between the IRS targeting and the WH's malevolent parasites at Treasury becomes clearer.
================================================
THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $30 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).
Ya gotta wonder how much Wall Street Rahm wired offshore when Obama put him in charge of the entire US Treasury.
They have been stealing the USA blind since before Obama was elected. He just took it to the next level. He is throwing up smoke screens to keep stealing for 2 more years.
Why wouldn’t anyone want an audit? That is basic for every business. What makes the Fed so big that it is exempt?
OBAMA REPLACES GEITHNER--Rahm Emanuel calls Jack Lew "right choice" for Treasury
By Lynn Sweet, Chicago Sun Times / Jan 10,2013
WASHINGTON--President Barack Obama appoints White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew as Treasury Secy. Lew will replace Treasury Secy Tim Geithner, who has been anxious to step down. Lew was Obama's third chief of staff, following Rahm Emanuel and Chicago scion Bill Daley.
Rahm Emanuel, who has worked closely with Lew told the Sun-Times, "Jack Lew is the right choice for Treasury Secretary.
<><> Whether negotiating a bipartisan solution to reform Social Security as liaison to House Speaker Tip O'Neill,
<><> producing a budget with a surplus for three consecutive years in the Clinton Administration, or,
<><> helping President Obama reach agreements to reduce our deficit and extend middle class tax cuts,
Jack has the experience and judgment to lead the Treasury during this critical time for our nation's economy."
In anticipation of the appointment a White House official said in a statement: "Jack Lew will bring an impressive record of service in both the public and private sectors for over three decades and economic expertise to this important role, and his deep knowledge of domestic and international economic issues will enable him to take on the challenges facing our economy at home and abroad on day one. Throughout his career, Jack Lew has proven a successful and effective advocate for middle class families who can build bipartisan consensus to implement proven economic policies.
"As White House Chief of Staff, Jack Lew led the President's team in tackling some of the toughest domestic and international economic challenges facing our nation in decades. That included strengthening our nation's recovery from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression to dealing with serious fiscal matters and challenges in the global economy.
Lew also led the Office of Management and Budget under President Clinton and President Obama, negotiating a historic agreement with Congress during the Clinton administration to balance the federal budget and leading the negotiations of the bipartisan Budget Control Act in 2011, which brought discretionary spending to historically low levels."
"As Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources, in addition to managing the day-to-day operations of the Department, Jack Lew managed the State Department's international economic policy portfolio and traveled the world to advance our nation's interest.
Lew also has a distinguished record leading private and public sector institutions and will bring strong relationships in the business community to his new role. At Citibank, he was part of the senior internal management team of this global financial institution, serving as Managing Director and COO of Citi Global Wealth Management and then as Managing Director and COO of Citi Alternative Investments.
As Chief Operating Officer at New York University, he was responsible for budget, finance, and operations, and was a professor of public administration."

101. The Fed makes it’s money by loaning money to the Government and charging the government interest. The best way to make sure the government needs to borrow a lot of money is to encourage war and massive social spending. The fed is the direct cause of hot and cold wars, and things like Great Society, National Healthcare, etc.
A quasi-government agency accountable to no one with immense power over the U.S. economy, including the power to print money. What would possibly go wrong?
Criminals like to operate in darkness.
I cannot believe you do not trust Woodrow Wilson and bankers more than you do Americas founding fathers.
These ‘added on’ agencies have created multiple shadow governments within the U.S. Constitution. Rein them in or shut them down.
Yes
WASHINGTON — Before he served four terms in Congress and was Bill Clinton's senior WH aide, then Obama's COS----Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel made millions as a Wall Street investment banker. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, became wealthy investing in real estate and technology firms. It was with this money that ethese Democrats started a charitable foundation.
Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi are officers of tax-exempt foundations that carry their names----but they failed to disclose the fact on their official annual financial disclosure reports. Tax records show the foundations donated mostly to hometown charities. None of the lawmakers' foundations received donations from outside sources.
===================================================
<><> The oldest and most prominent of the n/p is the Paul and Nancy Pelosi Charitable Foundation. Created in 1992, the non-profit has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years. The charity reported having about $576,000 on hand at the end of 2005 after donating $316,000 to other charities that year.
<><> Georgetown University, Paul Pelosi's alma mater, was the biggest recipient of the foundation's giving. Georgetown received nearly $300,000 since 2003, including $10,000 to the university's Wall Street Alliance, a group that raises the university's profile in the financial community. Vincent Wolfington, a Georgetown classmate and business partner of Paul Pelosi, was vice chairman of the alliance at the time of the donation.
<><> The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art received more than $80,000 from the Pelosi foundation in recent years. Roselyne Swig, a longtime friend and financial backer of the House speaker, is on the museum's board of directors. The congresswoman has represented a part of San Francisco since 1987.
============================================
The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust was formed in 2002, when the Chicagoan was first elected. The former Clinton White House aide and his wife, Amy Rule, are its only donors. Emanuel was an investment banker after serving in the Clinton White House.
Emanuel's charity gave nearly $25,000 to the Anshe Emet synagogue and school in Chicago, and $15,000 to the foundation run by ex-president Bill Clinton. It also gave $14,000 to Marwen, a Chicago charity that provides art classes and other educational help to low-income children. Rule is on Marwen's board.

There aren’t many of us who can tell what is going on in this monstrous central socialist government.
Of all the things on her plate I doubt that this rises to the level of mild interest much less alarm.
Like cockroaches.
List the grievances (1 of many)
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

We were warned (internally)…1784-1796...
6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt…
7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents, and to ensure the part they are to act.
8. The ways in which a great debt, so constituted and applied, will contribute to the ultimate end in view are both numerous and obvious. (1) The favorite few, thus possessed of it, whether within or without the government, will feel the staunchest fealty to it, and will go through thick and thin to support it in all its oppressions and usurpations. (2) Their money will give them consequence and influence, even among those who have been tricked out of it.
9. The management of a great funded debt and a extensive system of taxes will afford a plea, not to be neglected, for establishment of a great incorporated bank. the use of such a machine is well understood. If the Constitution, according to its fair meaning, should not authorize it, so much the better. Push it through by a forced meaning and you will get in the bargain an admirable precedent for future misconstructions.
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.
