    Agree, what’s the deal, where’s the Bill’s text ????
    If Barney wrote it, I’m against it. Too much Government control. We need to limit government, not increase it.

    Sorry Barney, this is not what Americans want.

    Congress and the Federal Reserve combined to create the conditions leading to the current economic crisis, yet H.R. 3996 would increase the power of the federal government to interfere in our economy through more bailouts and the ability to break up any company it deems “too big to fail.”

    Before Congress considers increasing the Fed’s powers, it is critical we know what it is doing with the ones it currently has.

    The Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful policy making bodies in the world, yet it operates without any real transparency or accountability to the American people.

    H.R. 1207, which we like to call simply the “Audit the Fed Bill,” would require full transparency and accountability from the Federal Reserve and deliver answers to the American people about what the Fed is doing with their money.

    I urge you to support true financial reform by rejecting the further government interference contained in H.R. 3996 and instead working to pass H.R. 1207 out of committee on its own merits for a standalone, up or down vote on the House floor.

    H.R. 1207 has been included as an amendment on this bill. As far as I know, that’s the only good point to it.

    Barney and his cronies wont be happy until he bilks every last American Citizen out of every last cent.

    I find it amazing that he would have the nerve to suggest such a bill, or ANY bill for that matter. He is after all, one of the key problems in this country. Housing bubble anyone?!
