Bill Wilson Quotables from Interview
What happened to $7.76 trillion committed, lent, or disbursed by the Federal Reserve? “It’s absurd that the American taxpayers have been put on the hook for literally trillions of dollars and we’re not even allowed to knowwhere the money has gone, how it’s been spent, or if there are any provisions or terms for any of it to be repaid.”
Should Congress Keep Audit Secret if Bill Passes? “I believe the American people deserve to see these numbers. I don’t think that this should be held or viewed by some small, little clique of elitists that will tell us what’s good or bad.”
Will Obama sign Fed Audit Bill? “I believe that if this bill continues moving at the pace it is, that President Obama would have no choice but to sign this bill. I think the public reaction grows in favor of it every day.”
