Hill wants reins on Fed

“The fact is that the American people want to know more of the ‘Secrets of the Temple,’” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters Thursday, referring to the 1989 William Greider book examining the Federal Reserve. “A balance has to be struck as to what is required to run the Fed in a responsible way, about what transparency there should be.”

...

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) said he “was getting a lot of calls from constituents” asking him what was happening at the Fed. “That’s why I support this bill,” said McGovern, who joined more than 150 Republicans on the legislation last week.

...


Hearings into Paul’s bill are on hold, pending the overhaul of the financial regulatory system.


But it’s struck a nerve, and Paul is sanguine about its prospects.


“There’s not that much resistance to it,” he said. “I would think if that bill were on the floor, you’d only have a few people voting against it, because it’s construed as transparency for the Federal Reserve, and right now, that’s what the American people are demanding. Even though I have been talking about this for 27 years, events have brought it to light. They now agree we need to know more about the Fed.”

You'll never know if these U.S bonds were fake or if this is a laundering operation because the Federal Reserve is a closed entity. What will it take for the FBI to get to work on this ?

The Count is now 226:

New Reps:

Rep John Sarbanes (D-MD)

The list of Reps. who don't seem to support Transparency? or is it more so that they do what the Bankers tell them? (THESE NEED TO BE CALLED)

In Opposition to People's Wishes, Obama to Give Fed MORE Power.

Seriously, this has been in the works for quite some time, at least from the beginning of 2008. The GAO has advised the congress to this effect openly in its report published in its website.
