Banksters Win Again \u2013 \u201cAudit the Fed\u201d Bill Fails in the Senate<\/a><\/h3>\n

When it comes to the Fed, Congress is mired in hypocrisy. The anti-regulation, de-regulation crowd on Capitol Hill shuts its mouth when it comes to the most powerful regulators of all \u2013 you and the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, Congress goes along with the out-of-control, private government of the Fed\u2014unaccountable to the national legislature. Moreover, your massive monetary injections scarcely led to any jobs on the ground, other than stock and bond processors.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013\u00a0From the post:\u00a0Ralph Nader Destroys the Federal Reserve in Open Letter \u2013 Calls it \u201cOut of Control, Private Government\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Rand Paul\u2019s signature \u201cAudit the Fed\u201d legislation failed to garner the 60 votes needed in the Senate to move the measure forward. Of course, this is merely\u00a0the latest in a never-ending series of banker victories, and a truly devastating\u00a0blow against liberty, free markets, transparency\u00a0and any hope for government by the people and for the people. Ensuring that light is never shined on the Fed\u2019s shady, corrupt and unaccountable bailout activities\u00a0has always been a key goal of the American oligarchy, and they succeeded once again.<\/p>\n

Kudos to Rand Paul for trying, and respect to Democrat Bernie Sanders for voting in favor. Elizabeth Warren voting against is inexplicable and indefensible.<\/p>\n

More\u00a0from\u00a0MarketWatch<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) \u2014 A bill that would have allowed Congress to order reviews of Federal Reserve interest-rate policy decisions failed a procedural test in the Senate on Tuesday as supporters failed to come up with the 60 votes needed to cut off debate on the measures.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The measure to curb the powers of the Fed has been a central theme of the presidential campaign of Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky. The legislation would end a ban on the Government Accountability Office\u2019s authority to audit the U.S. central bank\u2019s monetary policy moves that has been in place since 1978. The Republican House has already approved the measure.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
