66. Well let's look at the FSOC for moment. The people that make up this "oversight committee" are:

Sun Jan 6, 2013, 09:46 PM

Jan 2013

Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board
Comptroller of the Currency
Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission
Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration
Director of Federal Housing Finance Agency
Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
A Senate-confirmed independent member with insurance expertise

Such a collection of consumer watchdogs has not been seen since the membership list of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was released. Yes, I and all Americans can rest easy knowing that the Banksters are now under the watchful eye of the Banksters.

You do know that bullshit is now very easily checked with this same technology that you use to spread it, don't you?

You are so funny!
