Suddenly legislators are jumping on the Paul bandwagon. If yours isn't, contact them to support his bill to make the Fed's activities more transparent.

Let's Force Obama to honor his Transparency Pledge
Good idea. We need more transparency!
Let's Force Obama to honor his Transparency Pledge
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the
Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and
incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a
thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod
containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this
embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you
have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to
the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as
a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers
with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes,
would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the
fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried
again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have
hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as "proof" of
what a dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a
single tree on "Earth Day", would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying
low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown
Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they
actually "get" what happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter
installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have
laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and
is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in
New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political
issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a
major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to
do so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which
had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would
you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within
10 years, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM
stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have
approved?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take
Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 6 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.

Well now, let's be fair. He did mis-pronounce "nuclear", after all. :rolleyes:
Maybe when Clinton made his statement about "what your definition of 'is' is " we should have looked it up in the Austrian dictionary.

All that's well and good, but this is important. The Fed has been acting without restraint or constraint for far too long. It must be audited so that we can see what it's doing before it drives the economy off the edge.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get off topic.
It's a frightening situation and we'd better do something, while we still can. Living in California, I'm appalled at the state our state is in!! I.O.U.s! What's that all about? I pay high taxes and you can hardly drive on the roads around my town. Rates are going up on electricity, water, etc.. If California is facing bankruptcy, can it also happen to the U.S.?
