I am glad to see more interest in looking at the Fed, Being in the minority, I wonder what success they will have forcing an anal exam of the Fed !!

This is bold.Louis T. Mcfadden sure is proof of what it took.His life.

I think someone better start taking a hard look at what is going on at the Treasury as well.

I like South Carolina more and more.

YES IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO GET AN AUDIT. EVERY OTHER BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT IS UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF PUBLIC SCRUTINY...WHY NOT THE FEDS.

It may take more years than we expect, but God never denies a just cause.

[PGalt]

FED up!

BTTT!

This is sort of a race.

If TARP, TALF, Cap & Trade etc. and the massive government takeovers or private enterprises don't finish this country off, true politicians in charge of the fed and the money supply will.

Audits are forensic. I don't think we really want to know what has already happened.

Having said that, the fed needs some sort of universal cease and desist order.

It is a private enterprise. That is part of the problem.

Funny how when the IRS audits it’s a no holds barred game plan with zero limits. But when it comes to auditing the ruling masters at the fed, there are restrictions and limitations.

...Lot's of republicans and conservatives over the years were for the free market, private enterprise and capitalism. It's starting to come out in the open that Big Business is in bed with Big Government. The lobbies, the Czars, monopolies like GE, the unions are interested in making the poor more dependent, and those that sign on to there plan, are welcome. Squash small business and make them pay more taxes and insurance and there will be no stopping complete control over all power of this country...

[bamahead]

As of this writing, every single Republican in the House and over 60 Democrats have co-sponsored Ron Paul’s H.R. 1207 Federal Reserve Transparency Act

Shine the light on these roaches and let's get ready to rumble!

Correct. Many others like McFadden during his time and after, have been called and ridiculed all their professional and personal lives for challenging the FED.

Milton Friedman proved the Fed was responsible for the engineering of the Great Depression. Bernanke recently admitted they did.

“It is a private enterprise. That is part of the problem.”

A lot of stuff was “private enterprise” but that didn’t stop the Congress from “looking into” their business. I’m “private enterprise” but that doesn’t stop the gov fronm looking up my economic skirts at every opportunity. I don’t have any protection, why should they?

There is a word that describes the incestuous relationship between government and corporations that favor one corporation to the exclusion of others - fascism. It doesn’t help when prominent conserative talkers defend corporations as though all corporations are capitalist. It is almost as if they are completely unaware of the lobby industry. What do they think corporations are buying with their campaign donations?
