Who will be left to hold the bag?


While I don't necessarily agree with Rep. Paul on some things, I do agree with him on this one. I am still learning about the Federal Reserve. I do know that the Federal Reserve is no more "Federal" than Federal Express. It is a private group of banks. When I say private I do mean private. The folks in Congress don't even know what banks are involved. I won't go further right now as I don't want to give any bad information out of ignorance.
Here is a principle of Liberty and Responsibility that is important in this discussion. Honesty. One of the reasons people give for not auditing the Fed is that there may be some information on how they operate or what they have done recently or are doing that could cause real problems in the markets if it were known. What we have to ask ourselves is this. Do we ever plan on stopping all the corruption and taking the consequences that come with the cleanup? Shall we continue on with it because the cost for Truth is too high? I for one am tired of the corruption. I am tired of the shell games that our "leaders" play. I know I am not alone in this. I have never in my 37 years heard so many people have absolutely no trust in our government. They don't believe a word they say, on either side of the aisle. In fact I am looking at the approval rating for Congress as a whole right now. This poll is from NBC and the Wall Street Journal. They posted as of 9/17-20/09 22% approve and 66% disapprove. Now it is true they are higher right now then they have been in the recent past. But if this trend continues, we will wind up with the very stability of our Country at stake. When you create distrust of the governing in the governed, you are creating the foundations of revolution. We must do the hard things now, if we are to begin to heal from the sickness of corruption and irresponsibility. Let us turn the light of Truth on ourselves, and deal with what we find uprightly now. Before it's too late.
