Who Got Our $1,000,000,000,000?

Gezien de koersdaling van de USD voor de Griekenland crisis zou je geneigd
zijn te zeggen dat ze bij de FED bijna ongelimiteerd de geldpers hebben
laten draaien om deze $1,000,000,000,000 af te dekken...

Lijkt me niet meer dan normaal, dat dit bekend wordt gemaakt.
DNB zou het ook moeten doen ;)

Who Got Our $1,000,000,000,000?

Last year, I asked the Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board who
received $1 trillion in funds that the Fed handed out to domestic banks
and financial institutions.He said, essentially, "I'm not going to tell
you." More recently, I asked the Chairman of the Fed who received the
half trillion dollars - that's $500,000,000,000 - that the Fed handed
over to foreign central banks. He said he didn't know. Half a trillion
dollars, and he doesn't know!

That kind of ignorance and arrogance must end. We need to audit the Fed.
And now we're closer than ever.

The House passed our bill to conduct the first independent audit of the
Fed in its 96-year history. Now it's time for the Senate to act.

A bipartisan group of Senators is pushing for an amendment to audit the
Fed. This amendment is similar to the legislation that we passed in the
House last year. It's called the Federal Reserve Accountability
Amendment. It will ensure that the American people know to whom the Fed
is lending our money.

The amendment is simple. If it passes, the Fed finally will be audited.
Regarding all those billions that the Fed hands out like party favors,
we will find out who, what, when, where and how. (We already know "why"
- the answer to that question is "Wall Street Greed.") But if this
amendment fails, the Fed can continue to make hand out our money to
whomever it wants, without telling Congress or the American People.

We think we can pass the Senate Amendment, with your help. The amendment
is already cosponsored by progressive heroes like Bernie Sanders, Pat
Leahy and Russ Feingold. And joining us in this strange-bedfellows
coalition are John McCain, Jim DeMint, David Vitter and Sam Brownback.
(We hesitate to use the terms "bedfellows" and "David Vitter" in the
same sentence, but that would be changing the subject.)

With such bipartisan support, you'd think that passing this legislation
would be a slam dunk. Wrong. Wall Street bankers and their lobbyists are
twisting arms and pouring millions into the campaign coffers of
politicians on both sides of the political divide, to keep their
sweetheart Fed loans under wraps. It's time to counter their
influence-peddling by making the Senate listen to the united voice of
the American People. (That would be you.)
