Reply #22: I watched as the FED refused to agree to the requests of members of Congress for an audit

of the FED. The FED is very, very secretive. It exists for bankers, not for the public. It is mostly controlled by bankers, not the public. It serves the bankers, not the public.

When Alan Greenspan was the chair of the FED, his easy money policies, low interest rates and generosity to the banks helped ruin our country.

And the FED does all of that behind the backs of most Americans without our knowledge -- and on our dimes.

The FED should be replaced by an institution that is open to scrutiny and that answers to the American people and not to the international banking cartel. Germany owns a real interest in its national bank. We should too.

The FED makes no effort to be transparent or to communicate in terms ordinary people can understand. All parts of our government should communicate with Americans in plain English. And the FED should be part of our government, not some independent bank-owned, bank-run entity.

I am not a dude. Never was. Never will be. I just don't have the equipment to be a dude. That's my message to both boppers and duderoo.
