Ratigan Tackles Financial Reform

Ratigan Tackles Financial Reform

Dylan Ratigan is one of the few journalist/TV commentators that understands what is going on. More importantly, he has the courage to be outspoken and call out those responsible.

Is this the reason why the Fed requires secrecy?

Is this the reason why the Fed requires secrecy? So now we know that Greenspan and Bernanke are not idiots. The Fed knew about the housing bubble as early as March 2004 and deliberately hid it from citizens. Never mind all the BS that came from Greenspan and Bernanke. The organization [...]
