U.S. Senate rejects broader Fed audit amendment: May 11 (Reuters)

WASHINGTON, May 11
(Reuters)
- The U.S. Senate rejected an
amendment on Tuesday that would have exposed the Federal
Reserve to broader scrutiny by Congress, which critics said
would extend to monetary policy decisions.



The amendment from Republican Senator David Vitter was defeated after both Democrats and Republicans warned that it
would compromise the independence of the U.S. central bank.


"The Vitter amendment unfortunately has as its basic purpose the disassembling of this independence," said
Republican Senator Judd Gregg
in Senate floor debate.


The vote came immediately after approval of a related amendment that would order a congressional investigation of the
Fed's emergency lending during the 2008-2009 financial crisis,
and force the Fed to disclose the names of those it assisted.

Both measures were offered as amendments to a major Wall Street reform bill still being considered in the Senate.

So, we don't get to have the faux audit where they tell us how many pens, desks and chairs there are in the Federal Reserve System?

Who could have known?

Psa 53:4 Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread; they wouldn't think of praying to God.

Psa 53:5 But then terror will grip them, terror like they have never known before. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.

You're right steve, most of the lot are enemies from within! What a bunch of smug looking bastards they are, just look at those pics above. They're giving us a smile and a wink while at the same time screwing the hell out of us!!!!! Yeah Vince, we need to start all over again for sure! Our government is obsolete, they are a part of the Corporation and don't work for "WE THE PEOPLE" anymore.
