Just because he is a self- proclaimed socialist doesn't mean that he can't support transparency in government. I applaud him and other liberals like Sen. Feingold of Wisconsin for supporting this bill in search of transparency. It's a shame Mr. Obama won't jump on board. What is he afraid of?

I believe it was written by Bernanke himself, or some of his nuthuggers. Those paragraphs about "wise chairman" and his thoughtful plans and his self-implied desire for transparency... Sounds more like an artcile on chairman Mao in Beijing Post. That article on Washington Post is incredible! I believe it was written by Bernanke himself, or some of his nuthuggers.

Responding to Matthews’ implication that people who had questions about Obama’s birthplace were “full mooners” and insane, MSNBC political analyst Howard Fineman included “people who are worried about the government taking up the guns, people who deny the federal government has a right to tax your income, people who are worried about being overrun at the borders,” in the same category and said they were merely looking for a reason to find a conspiracy behind Obama.

Read the first few pages of Murray Rothbard's book, "The Case Against the Fed" copyright 1994. (The Mises Institute has a link to the PDF on their site if you Google that).Anyways, Texan Henry B. Gonzalez introduced a bill similar to this to Audit the Fed. Clinton vetoed that and declared that this reform would "run the risk of undermining market confidence in the Fed."Obama dare not do the same to this one, or I hope there will be an even larger crowd on Capitol Hill than on his swearing into office. I'm not even a US Citizen, and I would love to come down and join your movement for exposing these crooks. After all, if you guys can set an example, other countries will take notice and begin asking questions and demanding answers of their Central Banks and Governments too.If you want to be a world leader, as a "beacon of freedom and liberty" as the press touts, then you need to free yourselves and expose the crooks.

ID the problem: A measurement/reporting issue is identified by the Emerging Issues Task Force and placed on the FASB's agenda. 2. The Task Force: about 15 knowledgeable people appointed to advise the board on various matters. 3. Research and analysis: FASB's technical staff investigates the issue. 4. Discussion Memorandum: The DM is prepared and disseminated to interested parties. 5. Public response: Public hearings are held to discuss the issue and letters of response are sent to the FASB which then analyzes this feedback. 6. Exposure draft (ED): It details the proposed treatment for the problem. 7. Public response: Written responses to the ED are accepted and analyzed. The ED is revised, if necessary, depending on the board's analysis. 8. Statement issued: An SFAS is issued if four of the seven FASB members support the revised ED.It makes me wonder who is sitting on the Board and whose interests they have at heart.Still, 5. And 7.
