HOLY CARP!!!

The amendment to audit the Fed passed the Senate 96-0. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0510/37104.html I wish they would expand the audit to the whole federal government and all levels of state and local governments. |

It'll be very interesting to see what comes out of this. Politically, I mean. |

Smoke & mirrors. A one time audit? WTF? The movement to audit the Fed originated with Ron Paul who introduced the original bill which did not have a limit of a one-time audit. No mention of him at all in that article. Our government and our media are foul. Bought and paid for it seems. |

A one-time audit isn't that bad an idea - the necessity for follow-ups could, and probably should, depend on the findings - audits aren't cheap. |

Hmmm ... that's a good point. How much money would you appropriate to audit the Fed? |

Folks at the Fed don't get bonuses. But they have a really sweet executive dining room. I've heard the pool's pretty nice too, but I've never seen it. |

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

What a scam. The Senate voted 96-0 for a one time audit after voting down 37-62 the plan to establish a regular audit process. Let's them look they they care when they don't. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/05/take_the_easy_vote.html |
