It took control thanks to a bill passed by the USA president in the time of the Great Depression. Basically they run the world they make the policy they write the books for education they make the laws, they control the military, they are the puppet masters that run all governments! And we can not ask them what they are doing with "their money." Look into it and you will find they are the root of all the problems on the Earth.

I would like to know where money is going and what the decision making processes are. The number of avenues they've created to "ease credit conditions" are seemingly uncountable. And all the while, they are acting with the fed's vaunted "independence" which seems to translate into "secrecy". So i'm not against auditing the fed in some way but as i asked above, who does it and exactly what will such an audit consist of. If Ron Paul created this bill, i find it suspect from the get go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07941397575879054298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-72805932281541644302009-06-26T08:26:34.412-04:002009-06-26T08:26:34.412-04:00What does auditing the federal reserve fix?

I realize it's something...I don't either. <br /><br />I realize it's something about the soundness of the currency or maybe to keep the Fed governors from Madoff'ing the system but how does that affect me?Ajaxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-76896432005874144972009-06-26T03:23:34.518-04:002009-06-26T03:23:34.518-04:00I don't understand the point of auditing of th...I don't understand the point of auditing of the Fed.
