The Federal Reserve warned on Thursday that a growing congressional threat to curtail its independence would destabilise markets and raise the cost of servicing US debt for “current and future generations”.
The Fed is struggling to face down a political backlash from different parts of Congress amid scepticism over its policies designed to restart the flow of credit and the award of new powers to curb systemic risks.
“Any substantial erosion of the Federal Reserve’s monetary independence
”I would hope that the Congress might think about whether there are ways of strengthening the Federal Reserve’s commitment to consumer regulation as an alternative to creating a new regulator,” he said.
This is how they control the people daily. They solve the basic problems of food, clothing & shelter by providing you with jobs. Every two weeks they pay you in debt notes & within ten days you have given it all back. You don't even know it's not real money & that the nations are all under bankruptcy & everything is prepaid. You are so conditioned you can't believe it, you deny it & you continue to go along with the corporate central bank tax scam. That leaves you free to solve more pressing problems like cash or charge, wine or beer, window or aisle, smoking or non, Oprah or American Idol Worship. You work all day in a corporate sweat shop. You pay taxes to the corporation of [your country name] then you watch Corporate news scare you to death with terror, murder, rape & corruption. You watch some sitcom Friends lie & cheat on each other for a laugh then you finish off the evening by witnessing some Criminal Minds plot & commit murder

Actually I was thinking it would just be smart to pay a Mexican street gang a few dollars to go take care of it. I am pretty sure I have a date that night!
OK so I haven't had a date in years but I could have one that night!
Inflatible life like images count right?

To obtain full power over the people, destroy or befriend those powerful enough to destroy you, first and foremost. These vigilantes you peak of, will have to be born and bread under cover of legtimacy to do this type of mission. Perhaps, that's what the NRA has been thinking about, this whole time...

Well Warren my friend, it's like I mused to the cashier at the Supermarket earlier this afternoon as I provided the legal tender for one Italian Submarine Sandwich and one pack of cigarettes...
"Hey these bailouts sure are working aren't they...only 15.00 for a sandwich and a pack of smokes!"
