Audit Fed: It Has Taken Actions Which Are Far Beyond Its Authorized Powers

05-05-2010 • ZeroHedge.com

the name of preventing inflation - the Fed is guaranteeing prolonged deflation and the lack of a sustainable recovery. However, this is arguably an exercise of core monetary policy by the Fed. But funneling hundreds of billions to foreign nations and foreign banks, accepting worthless junk from the too big to fails and marking it at unrealistic valuations, and doing the other things which the Fed has been doing recently are not core monetary functions. Congress never authorized these actions when they passed the Federal Reserve Act. Therefore, the Fed'se actions must be made transparent and subject to the light of day.
