What has this tread to do with creating jobs?

But, if you insist, I've created as many jobs as Obama in August.........ZERO.

Richie-I will try to jog your memory. How many times have I said I do not like Obama and even considered voting for McCain until he picked the kiss of death as a running mate? HOW MANY TIMES??? When did I say I agreed with what Obama says? Don't assume what I believe...by omission or otherwise. And being right twice a day is a stretch some days....:laugh:

I have faith in action and results. Words are pretty meaningless.

OK, great.

But I was only speaking to the issue that Wayne and you raised as to "why shouldn't you take the President at his word" as to the purpose of his "inform on your neighbors" website.

I was speaking to no other issue. Was I reading your post incorrectly where it seemed you were agreeing with Wayne's premise?

Hey Lion, You are either incredibly humble, or you just plain forgot to mention that it didn't cost you one cent of taxpayers money! :bigbow:

That's true, and thank you for pointing that out.

fyi/ouch/pass it on

Your money folks and our elected officials doing their thing.





Subject: First (ever) Federal Reserve Audit


Results of first-ever Federal Reserve Audit

The first ever GAO audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the
past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank
bill, which passed last year. The results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve's nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sander's webpage July 21st.




Where has it been on the internet since July?

What was revealed in the audit was startling:

$16,000,000,000,000.00 (TRILLION) had been secretly given out to US banks
and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland.

From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had
secretly bailed out many of the world's banks, corporations, and governments.

The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program,
but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest.
Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the
United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious
the American public would have been outraged to find out that the
Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs.
To place $16 trillion into perspective, remember that GDP of the United States is only $14.12 trillion.

The entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year
history is only $14.5 trillion.

The budget that was being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is
only $3.5 trillion. Take all of the outrage and debate over the $1.5 trillion deficit into consideration,
and swallow this Red pill: There was no debate about whether $16,000,000,000,000
would be given to failing banks and failing corporations around the world. In late 2008,
the TARP Bailout bill was passed and loans of $800 billion were given to
failing banks and companies.

The list of institutions that received the most money from the Federal
Reserve loans can be found on page 131 of the GAO Audit and are as follows:

Citigroup: $2.5 trillion($2,500,000,000,000)

Yes, you read it incorrectly.

Sorry; no wonder I wasn't making any sense to you. I apologize for my miscomprehension (why isn't that a word?) of your postings on this topic.
