Ron Paul discloses housing bailout bill's money and power grab
2:11a ET Thursday, July 24, 2008
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
In a videotaped statement Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, disclosed some shocking details of the housing bailout legislation being rushed through Congress:
-- The two troubled federal mortgage agencies, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, will be given unlimited access to the U.S. Treasury without requiring any further approval from Congress.
-- The U.S. national debt ceiling will be raised by $800 billion, which suggests that the bailout is expected to cost a lot more than the country is being told.
-- All credit card transactions will have to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, as if the country isn't under enough government surveillance already.
