Default I agree - I agree - I agree

Let's spread the word BIGTIME. To think that this Bill would be blocked and not allowed to come up for a vote REALLY speaks volumns about the people in congress whom pretend to be representing us.

Do we not have a right to know where and on what they are spending our money? Even if we don't agree, as not everyone agrees that money should be spent to save bee farms, but STILL, we should know! We should have the right to know!

This is exactly what we ALL need to do.

Hold all of them accountable and print their names over and over if they do this type of thing.

No matter what party, if they are not going to do what is best and right for us all then we need to put their names in lights so we can get rid of them.

Gee, you think they know something we don't know ?

Or maybe they know exactly what can of worms this will open ?

Heck..this blocking speaks volumes about the state of the Federal Reserve.

Just to show, the Democrats are just as evil as the Republicans... the one in power gets the money and the Dems want their share... its all about the mighty dollar... time to vote them out... but I don't think liberals would turn on their sugar daddy dems...

I wonder what will be discovered if the Federal Reserve has a real full-blown audit. Any guesses?

my guess is that there may be a discrepancy between the amount of gold stated to be in fort knox and the actual amount in fort knox.

It has been several decades since the gold in Fort Knox was independently audited or properly accounted for,” said Ron Paul, the Texas Congressman and former Republican presidential candidate, in an e-mail interview with The Times. “The American people deserve to know the truth.”
