I understand Barny Fag signed on to this bill, which is a big, bright, red flag.
I think many on the Left don't grasp money creation and the operation of the Fed. Naomi Wolf gave an interview to Lew Rockwell that indicated this and she admitted that the Left just has no clue about money creation and the operation of the central bank.
I suspect Frank is just as ignorant. Also, a lot of Dims are getting antsy about how the Fed runs and how it inflates these real estate and stock market bubbles. Also, congresscritters can't really do anything with the economy without wondering what the Fed is up to.
