GAO Fed Audit Released

Haven't seen this here and not sure why its not getting talked about more than what I have been able to find.

July 21, 2011 the GAO released its findings and recommendations on the Federal Reserve as part of the Dodd-Frank legislation.

Most of what I have seen reported is a little convoluted, but if there was ever any doubt to the level of improprieties the fed has been accused of this report removed most's doubt.

This article reports $16T to foreign banks between Dec. 2007 and July 2010 as part of an unsanctioned bailout through various means...

The Fed Audit

The Fed is going to have a hard time explaining this to the public. $16 trillion?!?! holy shit

Also why is the federal reserve bailing out foreign banks.....obvious political favors

 

Helicopter Ben is going to get off scot-free just like all the other stuff he's done. Everyone knows that's what the Fed policy was. He'll do his usual means of escape: Be on both sides of the argument so he can't lose. I cannot stand this guy.

Ron Paul is definitely rubbing one out to this.

- Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. - The harder you work, the luckier you become. - I believe in the "Golden Rule": the man with the gold rules.
