Senate Boosts Federal Debt & Confirms Fed Reserve Chair Bernanke
The US Senate approved a $1.9 trillion boost in the amount of debt the federal government can take out. The bill, which passed 60 to 40, would establish the new limit at $14.3 trillion -- equal to about $45,000 for every American. Senate also voted 77-23 to end debate and then voted 70 to 30 to approve confirmation of Ben S. Bernanke for a second four year term as Federal Reserve chairman. Many expressed concern over confirming Bernanke "who has presided over the worst economic downturn in generations."

Just another step in the overall plan to destroy the country. November can't come soon enough.
