Today the house finance committee passed what will surely be a historic amendment 43-26.  This a very straight forward amendment, allow the Federal Reserve to be audited without question.  One would think that such a simple request should pass without objection, right?  After all, why would we want a highly political organization such as the Federal Reserve possibly hide anything from the American Public?   Congress created the Fed and Congress can destroy the Fed (technically speaking).  Examine who voted to maintain the status quo and against auditing the engine of inflation, credit and virtually every single recession including the Great Depression.  You may not understand this yet, but the Fed absolutely and without question created the Great Depression and while FDR exacerbated the situation - without a central bank injecting credit the economic collapse of 1929-1932 would not have happened.  We are now on the brink of exactly the same collapse or a Japanese style multi-decade malaise.

There you have it folks, plain and simple.  There is absolutely NO reason why any of these people should have supported an institution whose practices enable and enrich all the big banks while destroying the middle class.  This is disgusting, deplorable and all of these people should be ASHAMED including those that have been tied to the Housing Crisis, truly begs the question as to how these people get re-elected.  Please do your patriotic duty and voice your anger.  Below is the original video demonstrating unequivocally who is on the side of the American people and who is on the side of banksters.   Notice that some of SAME bastards who voted against the amendment today, blocked all regulation against Fannie/Freddie and were belligerent and nasty in the process.
