75 Percent of Americans Support Audit the Fed Bill

Posted by RottingNation On August - 5 - 2009

According to a recent Rasmussen telephone poll 75% of Americans are in favor of a Federal Reserve Audit. The results show that only 9% oppose the idea and 15% are not sure.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul introduced H.R. 1207, which would allow the Government Accounting Agency to audit the books of the Federal Reserve. The bill now has 282 co-sponsors in House including all Republicans and 101 Democrats. The Senate version of the bill has 20 co-sponsors.

According to Rasmussen Reports:

Support for the bill has grown now that the Obama administration is proposing to give the Fed greater economic regulatory powers. The Fed which sets U.S. monetary policy was created as an independent agency to keep it free of politically-motivated interference.

Predictably, Fed Chairman Ben Bernake is opposed to the bill saying on PBS, “I don’t think the American people want Congress running monetary policy.”

Futurama Cast Will Return to Comedy Central

So it looks like the entire voice cast of Futurama will be returning for the new season on Comedy Central:

Back in June, 20th Century Fox confirmed that new episodes of Futurama, which was canceled in 2003, would be hitting Comedy Central airwaves in 2010, and that all the original cast members would be back to provide the characters’ voices. A month later, the announcement was amended, and Variety reported that a casting call went out for new actors to provide the voices for the revival. We haven’t been so caught up in a will-they-or-won’t-they since watching the awkward chemistry between George-Michael Bluth and his cousin Maeby on Arrested Development.

But finally, Fox has given us an answer on Futurama: They will.

This, is very good news.
