Mind-Blowing Fed Secrecy

[edwardzacharyy]

I WANNA SEE THE RECEIPTS

[chitownboy57]

Don't be fooled by this fraud, people. When push came to shove, Sanders caved into pressures from corporate and Fed interests. He voted against the Fed Audit bill, S. 604, "Federal Reserve Sunshine Act". Bernie Sanders is a sellout.

[damerz0405]

I think I disagree with Sanders on one point... the money doesn't belong to the American people, it belongs to the private owners of the federal reserve. They can create the money out of thin air or do whatever they like with it and apparently we have no business knowing about it.

[yvonnia123]

@damerz0405 - But, correct me if I'm wrong--we still have to pay the interest on those money loans by way of our taxes. That's why Sanders is referring to us as taxpayers.

These two entities are performing what would otherwise be a physically impossible feat: The federal reserve is in bed with the treasury department, but is able to screw us all in the process...amazing.

[Thewizzardof9]

Why do we have politicians that are so uneducated? Not a dime of the money by the Fed was tax payer money. it is not debt, only the money overspent by the congress is debt.

[TheDarchorse]

You can bet your ass you will find it is Israel.

[klinok19]

Thank you, Mr. Sanders!

To all who thinks Federal Reserve is a private entity - it's simply not true. Federal Reserve is a part of US government, and as such is accountable to American people.

[yvonnia123]

@klinok19 - Nooo! Please don't believe that. The Federal Reserve controls our money but is accountable to NO ONE. The Treasury is part of our government. It borrows money from the federal reserve...A Private Bank that charges our government interest, which our government passes on to us. When ever the government talks about handing out ANYTHING, you better believe there are going to be some taxes along with it. The government does not really make money. It spends waaaay more than it makes.

I calculated the USA population which is 310,907,116 into 3.2 trillion dollars. It comes to an astounding cost of $10,929 dollars PER PERSON!!!!!!! Now that's mind blowing people. YOU WANT NUMBERS, HERE'S YOUR NUMBERS PEOPLE!!!!!

[Scooternz]

WOW, someone in the USA is fighting back! 

[Jessecraft1954]

Hard working tax payers in the US are views as nothing more than cash cows for the rich. We are devalued and disrespected. The American Dream has become the American Scheme for rich American corporations. Drug companies, the so-called healthcare system, banks, Wall Street, buy politicians and pervert justice all in the name of their personal greed. While millions of tax payers lose job, healthcare and homes. Laws need to be changed and people need to be held accountable for their actions.

very smart man

[TheIronmanforlife]

regarding "intrepid 1776" realize it isnt about red or blue.liberals or conservatives.dems or republicans.its about a treasonous group of politicians who are selling out americans right to liberty peace and the pursuit of happiness for profits,further boosting their own careers as well as those of their fraternal brothers who helped get them in the first place!!its no longer a government OF the people BY the people AND FOR the people! ITS OFthe WealthyTHRU CORPORATIONS FOR INTERNATIONALBANKERS

[intrepid1776]

overload the system (create a crisis that requires "help from the Gov't"- remember the words of Rahm Emanuel, ), loan money to those who can never pay it back (& have no intention of paying it back), bring in illegals to dilute citizens votes, then take control.... the magic formula of the Progressives/Socialists/Commun­ists/Liberals - ie, the Democrat Party- in this country - Pelosi, Obama, Clinton, Reid, Dodd, the Hollywood left, The NY Times, Wash Post, MSNBC. How can anyone vote/watch them?

[intrepid1776]

Let's not forget that he's a communist and nothing that they do or say has any other goal than dividing and conquering in their pursuit of absolute power. They do not share power with anyone. Yes, we need transparency on all issues. But let's not glorify communism or this communist as being honest. By being a communist, he is opposed to the very principles on which the founding fathers built our republic.

[Newenlightenmentnow]

@intrepid1776 Excuse me, he's not a communist. There is an ocean of difference between someone who calls themself a communist and someone who calls themself a democratic socialist. Democratic socialists believe in expanded government, and that some services are better managed by the government. Communists believe in a centralized economy in which the state produces all goods. Educate yourself before saying something so incredibly stupid!

[vegaslide]

doesnt he realize that disclosing this infomation will destroy the very purpose of the assistance, and its the public that will suffer.

this guy is an idiot

[goorgee]

I'm a conservative, but Sanders is now becoming one of my favorite senators.

Honest man, that's all I want from Washington, be honest.

[jeffy12]

@goorgee Ron Paul

[Mopower007]

This guy is awesome. Why have I never heard of him before?

[jadam914]

I don't agree with Sen. Sanders Ideology BUT I RESPECT HIM for being more honest than most his colleges.

[Boozbazz]

Has anybody asked if Ben Bernanke even knows?

[insurgent28]

Ron Paul asked him and Bernanke told him that he did not have to say. And that he would not say.

[musicsheddcom]

Why can I only name a few politicians that look out for us? Bernie Sanders, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich.... its very sad

[ReliableInsider]

Man's gotta point!

[erby1kabogey9]

Must suck to be one of the few honest people in Washington and watch what these criminals not only do to this country firsthand but also get anyway with on a daily basis! I feel for you Senator!

[oldhacks]
