This article is trash and shouldn't even be hosted on a "I Heart Goldman Sachs" blog much less Reuters. Boo, hiss, boo!

If I was Reuters, this would be the last article this "guest columnist" will write.

Or is it that, some ghostwriters will sell their souls for pennies. I thought better of reuters. Shame Do no harm by NOT auditing the fed? Accountability for the corporation that controls our currency system is harmful? Let me have all your income, I won't tell you what I do with it, but trust me, I'll spent it wisely, really! Let me print your money, I won't print extra, really! Let me make loans with your money on terms that I won't disclose. It's in your best interest, really. This swampland is a great deal really!

They've done such a stellar job at those 'stable prices and maximum sustainable employment' objectives. So of course the FED should be granted 'broad oversight of financial markets as a regulator of systemic risk' 'by default'. Give me a break. How much did Mr. Berry get paid by Goldman Sachs to write this fine piece of financial insight. At this point anyone opposing the FED audit should be looked at suspiciously.

Auditing the Fed is the first step. The second is to require the Goldman Sachs gang and the JP Morgan family to wear masks when robbing us. It’s time criminal enterprise is rooted out of government.

In Fact, BoA and other banks indeed reported that they made less money available to businesses and households during this period (fewer loans), NOT MORE. Dear Sir,
