Is a Federal Reserve Audit Getting Closer?
Apr. 28, 2010 10:59 am
By louisehartmann
An interesting group is forming in the Senate with plans to fight for an amendment to the Wall Street reform bill that would expose the Federal Reserve to a serious audit by the Government Accountability Office. Sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders, the language is modeled after an amendment that passed the House and was sponsored there by Reps. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) and Ron Paul (R-Texas).Daily Topics - Tuesday - April 27th 2010

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
