Audit the Fed defeated

Bernie Sanders bowed to pressure from the White House to gut his Audit the Fed Amendment. Senator David Vitter of Louisiana introduced another Audit the Fed Amendment. Thanks to the work of the Dirty Fed's ex-Enron lobbyist and the Dirty Fed's powerful friends in the Obama Administration, the amendment failed 62-37.

Here's how your Senators voted. My Senators, Boxer and Feinstein, voted to aid and abet the Dirty Fed.

This is a deficiency of logical thought.

If the Fed is supposed to be opaque to protect the system, then at what point have they failed?

Regardless of the blatant unconstitutionality of the concept of the Fed, there is no parameter to trigger a what if. Everything else has a measure but the Fed does not. If you are at war, your army has failed when more of your guys are dead and more of the land you held is taken. It is measurable.

But the Fed is different. We have trusted an organization with no oversight with our money. A private organization in that. And somehow we assume that these humans are different than the rest of the humans. These humans are divine and without fault. It's religion. Radical Muslims scream "God is great" as they cheer for the end of the rest of civilization. American's should be screaming "Fed is great" because they've put even more faith in the Fed than the Radical Muslims have put in Mohammad. Mohammad doesn't own a printing press after all.

Happy Super Tuesday!
