Audit of the Federal Reserve Reveals $16 Trillion in Secret Bailouts
The first ever GAO(Government Accountability Office) audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the house bill(HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out. Ben Bernanke(pictured to the right), Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve's nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sander's webpage (http://sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3) earlier this morning.
What was revealed in the audit was startling:

Agree, Paul is one of the few I'd allow in my home.

Grayson? Really?
Alan Grayson is maybe the biggest douche bag in American politics today. I can think of few people who are more deserving of my contempt. Not just as a politican but also as a human being.

Somehow I knew that Alan Grayson would be a hero to you.
If you're both lucky, you'll be buried in adjacent plots.
Grayson as in the former Congressman who was known for putting both feet in his mouth?

That sounds like Rosie, Oprah, the entire cast of View and Michelle Hussein were all beached and they were using Dozers to try and push them back in the water.
Even worse. :p
This guy makes Bill Maher look like G Gordon Liddy
