Paul/Grayson amendment passed while exposing enemies of the state.

Today the house finance committee passed what will surely be a historic amendment 43-26.  This a very straight forward amendment, allow the Federal Reserve to be audited without question.  One would think that such a simple request should pass without objection, right?  After all, why would we want a highly political organization such as the Federal Reserve possibly hide anything from the American Public?   Congress created the Fed and Congress can destroy the Fed (technically speaking).  Examine who voted to maintain the status quo and against auditing the engine of inflation, credit and virtually every single recession including the Great Depression.  You may not understand this yet, but the Fed absolutely and without question created the Great Depression and while FDR exacerbated the situation - without a central bank injecting credit the economic collapse of 1929-1932 would not have happened.  We are now on the brink of exactly the same collapse or a Japanese style multi-decade malaise.

Those who have voted to continue destroying this country:

(D) CA-35 Rep. Maxine Waters (Also voted against regulation of Fannie/Freddie, "fannie/freddie has been outstanding")
(R) CA-42 Rep. Gary G. Miller
(D) CA-43 Rep. Joe Baca
(D) CT-04 Rep. Jim Himes
(D) FL-22 Rep. Ron Klein
(D) IL-04 Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez
(D) IL-08 Rep. Melissa L. Bean
(D) IL-14 Rep. Bill Foster
(D) IN-02 Rep. Joe Donnelly
(D) IN-07 Rep. Andre Carson
(D) KS-03 Rep. Dennis Moore
(D) MA-04 Rep. Barney Frank (Was against Fannie/Freddie regulation) - Chairman
(D) MA-08 Rep. Michael E. Capuano (Running for Senate now, promising to impose financial regulation)
(D) MA-09 Rep. Stephen F. Lynch
(D) MN-05 Rep. Keith Ellison
(D) MO-05 Rep. Emanuel Cleaver
(D) NC-12 Rep. Melvin L. Watt (Top contributors campaign include every giant bank in the US)
(D) NC-13 Rep. Brad Miller
(D) NY-05 Rep. Gary L. Ackerman
(D) NY-06 Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (Was against Fannie/Freddie regulation, "pissed off at regulation")
(D) NY-14 Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney
(D) OH-06 Rep. Charles Wilson
(D) OH-15 Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy
(D) TX-09 Rep. Al Green
(D) WI-04 Rep. Gwen Moore
(R) WV-02 Rep. Shelley Moore Capito
-------------

There you have it folks, plain and simple.  There is absolutely NO reason why any of these people should have supported an institution whose practices enable and enrich all the big banks while destroying the middle class.  This is disgusting, deplorable and all of these people should be ASHAMED including those that have been tied to the Housing Crisis, truly begs the question as to how these people get re-elected.  Please do your patriotic duty and voice your anger.  Below is the original video demonstrating unequivocally who is on the side of the American people and who is on the side of banksters.   Notice that some of SAME bastards who voted against the amendment today, blocked all regulation against Fannie/Freddie and were belligerent and nasty in the process.

The 2009 credit boom is coming to an end.

Image
The credit expansion boom of 2009 will eventually go down as yet another period of credit expansion promoted by the Fed that will have lead to another predictable bust.   Today, it will be interesting to examine how the various levels of production are behaving under years and years of artificial interest rate suppression.  It will also be helpful to look at charts and graphs examining the business cycle theory and the impact of time preference as taught by Mises. For starters, those new to the concept - a very brief paraphrasing of the general idea. Under a healthy functioning market people's consumer patterns impact their savings.  More consumption equals less saving and less consumption more saving.  In order to progress the society must save such that it can make investments in machinery, equipment, technology, etc if it hopes to increase the capacity of production.   Sure ,you can harvest 10 coconuts a day, consume them by night and repeat the process...

What is wrong with this country?

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve. What jumped out was the age group and who they are likely voting for. Obama / McCain 18-24: 74% 21% The rest of the age groups are more or less even with ages 65+ leaning more for McCain. Those folks should probably avoid leaning - hazardous to their health. Now, if you are a member of this group and are part of the 74% you are probably feeling good about yourself. If you are in the 21% then you are probably used to feeling desperate and angry that your peers ostracize you as if you were the next coming of the bubonic plague. But this number is very telling. Showing to us that a large group of freshly minted liberals, on average still in college, is in a very good position to influence these elections. Enthralled by the concept of "what they want the world to be" and their utopian ideals they hammer their message to anyone willi...
