Brian's Blast post

...In an interview released today by Digg and the Wall Street Journal, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was pressured about the growing popular movement to Audit the Fed spearheaded by Texas Congressman Ron Paul. A visibly uncomfortable Geithner attempts to dismiss the question by stating “I’m sure people understand that you want to keep politics out of monetary policy.” When Geithner is again pressed on the issue, he makes the stunning assertion that conducting an audit of the Federal Reserve—something never before done in its 96 year history—is a “line that we don’t want to cross,” proclaiming that such a move would be “problematic for the country.”

If you get to watch the interview, it's at about the one and a half minute mark that Tim makes the "don't want to go there" statement.

And... listening to him say that you really don't want the government meddling in financial policy... then to see his government not just meddling in financial policy but also trying to dominate and control financial policy... is stunningly disingenuous.

Watch just the first two minutes if nothing else... be prepared to have someone help you pick your jaw up from off the floor!
