The Fed Under Fire

submitted by blankfist

1 decade 5 years 4 months 1 week ago

"The Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful and secretive institutions in Washington, long considered beyond the reach of lawmakers. But now, as details emerge of how the Fed secretly doled out more than a trillion dollars during the financial crisis, a rare bipartisan movement in Congress demands that the Fed be held accountable.

When my lefty friends ask me, since I'm also left of center, why am I so critical of our new President? Why am I not waving banners the same way they are? Well, this is one of the things I respond with. Giving more power to the institution that helped create the problem is insane.

There's a great Bill Hicks joke about the men behind the curtain who, after each new President is sworn into office, take the Prez into a dark, smoky room and show him a filmclip of the JFK assassination from an angle no one has ever seen before. "Any questions?" they ask. The President happily replies, "just what my agenda is."

Moving this video to blankfist's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

*promote you know you want to vote up up up

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by marinara.
