Yeah we know we can trust government with money right. i mean they always tell us the truth.
Ron Paul as a member of congress and within government wants to keep the goverment honest.
If more people like Paul were in congress maybe we wouldnt have a serious debit and accounting problem. We also might know where ALL the bailout money went too which was charge to the american tax payer.
Completely crazy, Completely.

i dont know how you think not auditing the gold is normal.

And yet, your Uncle Obama gives trillions away to banks. So what's your point?

I have read both articles and it is a solid point that there appears to be a audit and handling of the physical gold. For good reason there are people that are skeptical and have doubts about what the gvt claims. And as you are aware you can get anybody to say and claim anything. See U S rating agencies taking a pile and slapping a AAA on it.

There is a real simplistic solution to this problem. Lets send either Jesse Ventura { who has a conspiracy theory show] or Fox news favorite leftist
Geraldo into the vaults for a physical look. This would be good educational tv with tons of viewers if advertised right. There is nothing like seeing is believing.

I am still amazed that anybody would believe or defend these thieves that run the treasury at all. They scream about 2 billion sent to pakistan but don't raise a whimper when the treasury can't find 9 TRILLION missing according to their own solicitor general. Now 60 million to see where OUR gold is that was stolen from US back in the day is too much or basically a joke to some. Have people lost their minds?? If I came and took all the money from their bank account would they howl about money sent to Egypt? Or are they just stupid???

Just stupid.

Those fake gold bars with the Ft Knox logo? Ah, just an accident.

The gold has not been physically audited since the 80's and with corruption rampant in Fed Gov for quite a number of years now you still trust them ?

What happened to the "transparency" campaign promises ?
Show us the gold.
Audit the Fed.

Put to bed the fears that our government has spent way more than they are even telling us.

That's just 6 days of war in Libya, I say go for it. Let's see what we've got, if anything. But keep the bamster's cotton picken hands off of it. ( I suppose that's another expression we can't use anymore)
