In 2009 the Federal Reserve made a profit of 46.1 Billion dollars!

I would like to know how much they paid in taxes. There is something

very sinister about the Federal Reserve and how they thrive from war, unfunded social programs and economic chaos. Our US Constitution charges our goverment with regulating our monetary supply, but apparently in 1914 our congress ignored the Constitution. Don't expect any better today.
