But the Federal Reserve is "not" the govt nor do they regulate the govt. They are there to regulate the banks yet who regulates them? Obviously not the govt it appears.
See the problem? The fact is there is no openness which leads to no accountability which is the problem. We had regulations in place that would have stopped this kind of stuff.. They are gone and the GOP is fighting like hell top keep them gone.
The tea party is useless because it's too deep in bed with the GOP and pretty much just a puppet of the right wing whom they take their marching orders from. It's not the other way around.
This is why the premise of OWS & the Tea Party working together with OWS will never "really" happen unless the tea party completely separates it's self from the right wing.. As of right now they are just another meat puppet of the GOP, OWS on the other hand is an actual movement by the people.. like them or not they are grass roots so to speak and not controlled by one side or the other.
This is why the two wont work together because the Tea Party can be controlled while OWS at least at this point can not.
