QE2 Shows The Fed Has Failed; Has No Credibility

The Fed Is Too Powerful To Be Unaccountable
The popularity of US Rep. Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Fed taps into a great pent-up frustration about the unaccountability of the very powerful institution. Independent socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont is the senate sponsor. While Dr. Paul wants to go as far as getting rid of the Fed, he wisely offered an opportunity for us to learn more and make a more informed decision.
