"Shut up, she explained:" Senate Democrats shut down GAO audit amendment.

Senator Jim DeMint offered an amendment calling for a GAO audit of the Federal Reserve - something very popular in the House - and the Democrats shut it down. Their privilege, but as DeMint shows, also their hypocrisy.

And that's pretty much it. Then again, I'm not the one who has to live with the personal consequences of supporting the Democrats.

i wonder how many people in N.D. and Neb are opposed to an audit of the federal reserve?

[happypranksgiving]

What do Democrats get out of blocking an audit of the Fed anyway? Why would either side be against this?

[robm425]

Damn DeMint spent alot of time preparing his questions.

What a huge double standard!

This is a great display of how poor our system is functioning.

Anyone that is against auditing the FED needs to explain themselves. Isn't it in the best interest of the American peole to have this misguided agency audited?

Too bad tar and feathers is passe >=(

if we did that you would probably pay 3% of the taxes you used to and still get the same services.

[AEVautomatic]

we could probably replace the government with computers that do a better job and cost less money to use. We could probably get rid of 90% of these people we pay insaine wages to,

I won't lie and pretend to know a lot about those things. It's pretty messed up that the Fed can go on with no accountability like this and they don't think it's important.

Oh yeah, I would bet money on it that it would slam the door on it Happy.
