It has been an interesting week. It's been an interesting time. And there are things that we agree on between our parties. I heard my friends across the aisle talking about we need to have an audit of the Federal Reserve, and that is certainly something that I agree with and everybody on my side I know agrees with. We ought to have an audit of the Federal Reserve. As Newt Gingrich has said repeatedly, if transparency is good enough for the CIA, it ought to be good enough for the Federal Reserve. We need to know what they are committing us to. We need to know what they're doing, how much trouble are they getting us in. Those are things that need to be known. So I am delighted to hear my friends across the aisle join us in our cry for an audit of the Federal Reserve. The difference between friends on this side and friends across the aisle is that my friends across the aisle have the numbers, they have the power to get an audit done of the Federal Reserve.

Back in high school when I was a senior at a pregame warm-up at Carthage, I had my hands under the center about to take a snap, throw a pass--the manager had my helmet--I am looking at the split end, and the manager yelled, Louie, and I…
