Implode-o-Meter News - The Federal Reserve Sends Thank You Letters To Congress For Letting Them Destroy Our Economy In Secret

In July, the Fed chairman sent letters of gratitude to five Democratic members of Congress after they delivered speeches on the House floor urging fellow lawmakers to reject the "Audit the Fed" bill authored by retiring Texas Republican Ron Paul, the central bank's chief antagonist.
Their efforts failed to defeat the bill, but they were not in vain, at least in Bernanke's eyes.

"While the outcome of the vote was not in doubt, your willingness to stand up for the independence of the Federal Reserve is greatly appreciated," Bernanke wrote in the letters, which were obtained by POLITICO through a Freedom of Information Act request.
