Push to audit Federal Reserve gains steam

  1. So, who is going to win this fight, the Federal Reserve (High Priests of Satan) or the US Congress?

    This is exactly what needs to happen but I bet it never does.

    Did anyone see this on Fox or MSNBC, CNN????



    Check it out...


     
  2. The Fed has too many lackys. Sad, but I put my money on the high priests of satan. Maybe if we had a noble President to lead the sheep, but Obama's reigns are fastened.

    Lest we forget, the last President who wasn't a BITCH:

    Civil unrest, tax protests, secession... the only way out.
     
  3. Hopefully Congress..
     
  4. What happened to free market capitalism?

    Going to let big ol' scary government come in and fuck with things, just because you don't like the way things the top dog is playing the system?
     
  5. Um, you're a little late. Free market capitalism died a looong time ago.

    America just keeps up the facade so you'll accept our dollars.
     
  6. Isn't that the pinnacle of the true elite class though?
     

  7. Its the graph of moral hazard and the resulting bailouts. If the elite class cannot fail ("too big to fail" "lender of last resort"), it is not a free-market.
     
  8. It seems free to me. They're free to run it the way they see fit, because nobody else has the entrepreneurial resource to compete.
     
  9. Well first you have to determine who you mean by "they". If you can trace any private monopoly back to political favors, subsidies or anti-competitor legislation, then it is not fair game.

    For example, DuPont and the prohibition of Hemp... a public/private conspiracy to secure profits, not a free market.

    I'd be impressed if you could provide an example of an exploitative American monopoly that did not arise through political clout.
     

  10. Exploitative American monopolies and political clout do seem to go hand in hand.

    Why is political clout not fair?

    To me that seems the epitome of a free market. Nobody is imposing arbitrary boundaries to these entities to prevent them from going as far as they can go. It seems like socialist regulation to try and prevent this.

    I can't help but thinking of analogies including the board game Monopoly; but I don't want to patronize.
     
  12. Because they are using coercion, it is not free exchange between consumers and producers.

    I'm not sure what you mean by socialist regulation. In a free market the private sector is regulated through laws punishing fraud and coercion. Is socialistic regulation the prevention of fraud through coercion?
