tells us the Truth in this YouTube : 400.000 US$ public dept per average American household


US Chief accountant David WALKER telling us the Truth :
400.000 US$ public dept per average American household are unaccounted.


The onrushing financial collapse and national bankruptcy of the United States is receiving ample coverage. Including unmistakable warnings from many former senior government officials and central bankers as well as from the very institutions that are presently in charge, such as the International Monetary Fund, the Bank of International Settlements or the US Federal Reserve.

The financial problem is however of a global nature. It seems unknown to most, that in fact the majority of the Western 'developed' world and not just the United States is facing national bankruptcy shortly ahead. The Euro and the British Pound are not inherently 'hard' and healthy currencies. This has been predicted by the world's leading rating agency, Standard & Poor's.

Q.7. It is my understanding the Federal Reserve has decided to halt disclosure to the public of its M3 findings and report. The findings of the M3 report provide pertinent information to the public--from economists to investors and to industries which all use M3 report findings for economic forecasting, investing, and business decisions. You have advocated a “more open” Federal Reserve under your command. Will you work to reverse this policy and commit to keeping the M3 report and its findings available and open to the public? What is the rationale and reasoning by the Federal Reserve to keep the M3’s information from the public?

A.7. My understanding is that the Federal Reserve decided to discontinue publication of the monetary aggregate M3 because the costs of collecting and processing the underlying data were judged to exceed the benefits. The Federal Reserve will not withhold the M3 data from the public; rather, it will no longer collect and assemble that information. The Federal Reserve will continue to collect data for and publish the monetary aggregates M1 and M2 and their components.
