Is the American taxpayer ultimately bailing out the European Union? Far fetched? Don’t be so sure.
While the focus of the European bailout has been on the European Central Bank, the European Union, and the IMF, little attention is being given to swap lines which were reopened between the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank.
The ECB has steadfastly fought the idea of breeching the principles which formed the European common currency (the Euro) in order to fashion a bailout for the EU. Did the ECB crater to political pressure by the EU? Or, did the risks of the bailout shift from the ECB to another large central bank? Such as? The Federal Reserve! (more…)

Continuing on our theme of pursuing truth, I am thrilled to have come across a recent interview that Lew Rockwell, the preeminent libertarian in the nation today, provided to The Daily Bell. This interview, “Lew Rockwell on von Mises, Ron Paul, Free-Markets, and the Future of Freedom”, is filled with incredible insights and perspectives.
While I am not one to promote political platforms, I am all for embracing those who desire the truth wherever it can be found. There is no doubt Lew Rockwell has a burning desire for this greatest of virtues.
I strongly recommend you read, ponder, and review Lew Rockwell’s thoughts and comments. He can certainly help us navigate the economic landscape. (more…)

The American public wants answers.
The Washington establishment, primarily in the persons of Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner, clearly feel America can’t handle the truth. What truth? The depth of economic despair and problems primarily embedded in our nation’s financial system. What institution has tried to fill the hole in our financial system? The Federal Reserve.
Given the shadowy operations of the private institution that is our central bank, Americans are justifiably nervous and concerned as to what lurks behind the shadows inside the Federal Reserve. To this end, with the leadership of Ron Paul (R-TX) the calls to ‘audit the Fed’ are growing ever stronger. (more…)

Who will reveal the truth and consequences embedded in the operations of Washington’s newly designed slush funds housed within Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? The Washington Way all too often pays off those who promote the administration’s interests (both Republican and Democrat alike) while sticking future generations with an ever larger bill.
Is slush fund too harsh a characterization for a Washington-issued blank check? In my opinion, a blank check in Washington has never been anything other than that.
Ron Paul (R-TX) has created quite a stir in 2009 given his continual calls to audit the Fed. Who in Congress will call for the same treatment for Freddie and Fannie?
Let the record show that on December 30th, Sense on Cents is issuing what will be the first of many calls to audit Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Why am I calling for an audit of these entities? (more…)
