Yep, "they only loaned out 1.5 trillion", and from what I've seen they only did so for short periods of time. But they did it without any public knowledge and that resulted in this audit that Congress had to bring about. Toddsterpatriot would have us believe this is common practice but this audit reveals exactly who needed to balance their books and when. That is information not commonly made public.

I don't necessarily believe all 7 of G. Edward Griffin's points responding to Flaherty, but I think the key point is #4 inflation is the gift that just keeps on giving.

It is the reason the Federal Reserve System is coming to an end. As those of us who have read and appreciate Mr. Griffin's book know, this country has a long history of rejecting the desires of bankers.

If you looked at their balance sheet, you'd see the short term loans they made.

Not common practice at all. These programs were emergency measures.

but this audit reveals exactly who needed to balance their books and when. That is information not commonly made public.

That's correct. Until the audit, they never released info on who borrowed at the Discount Window.
