Obama's financial overhaul - not good - how can we give more power and authority to the Fed which is already too powerful and unaccountable? - nonone knows what was done with the $2 trillion - some say much, much more - they have put into Wall Street - who received it? - much more than TARP - no FDR - no New Deal - no Congressional oversight - no auditing ---
