Yes–why wouldn’t we audit the them?? The argument against it is so thin (they ‘need’ some confidentiality). The benefits to the markets (ie, the public) would be tremendous.

It seems there is unprecedented steam behind Ron Paul’s bill this time around–179 co-sponsors. I hope it goes through.

Why wouldn’t we audit the Fed and create real transparency and integrity in the process. This is a no-brainer. Unfortunately it appears that perhaps those who need to make this happen have no brains. The pols are beholden to the power and not the people.

Larry could write something much better, but here is my attempt at shedding some light:

I wrote it for you guys. I hope it helps.

This is the way he puts it:

Most of the time when you rob someone . . . you wear a ski mask so your identity is at least somewhat obscured. This has gone well beyond that; the banks are now robbing the public out on the open with the full complicity and cooperation of the government.

Apparently, the new Obama math is that 150K jobs “saved” or “created” at a cost of 1.57 million real private sector jobs and $787 billion from taxpayers is “success.” Perhaps that success is part of the reason why unemployment is at its highest level in 20 years and will continue for months and months ahead.

Or, if that doesn’t work, it’s BOOSH’S fault.

Could you elaborate, in a post, on what both of those propositions are (HR1207 and HR833). Or if you already have done it, could you refer to it.

I still don’t understand why the taxpayer has to pay for the poor financial planning and greed of these banks.

Another 100 billion huh? Of course the “oversight” will consist of much huffing and puffing and promises from Geithner and crew.

Or maybe they’ll behave as the Fed did and just tell Congress it’s none of their business.

Is there any doubt left as to what has really been going on these past few months–years, and decades, for that matter?

The Fed and the government are not friends of the taxpayer. They are in it for personal profit. We the people are forced to privatize their gains, socialize their losses.

Audit the Fed, support HR 1207. Then end it: HR 833. Break the stranglehold these people have on our earnings and futures.

Evidence appears to be mounting that the Obama administration has systematically targeted for closing Chrysler dealers who contributed to Repubicans. What started earlier this week as mainly a rumbling on the Right side of the Blogosphere has gathered some steam today with revelations that among the dealers being shut down are a GOP congressman and closing of competitors to a dealership chain partly owned by former Clinton White House chief of staff Mack McLarty.

The basic issue raised here is this: How do we account for the fact millions of dollars were contributed to GOP candidates by Chrysler who are being closed by the government, but only one has been found so far that is being closed that contributed to the Obama campaign in 2008?
