Don;t know a whole lot about them, but they basically intervene in the markets to keep them from crashing.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

If the media does it's job, it'll crush McCain and exploit that clear display of stupidity.

It was a good question cuz it made McWar look like a moron on economics since he had never heard of it.. but 99% of Americans have probably never heard of it.

[LT for the Truth]

the question kinda went a little over my head also, however, it was priceless to McCain define his lack of knowledge about the subject

[thefred]

McCain really has no clue about economics...

Please enlighten me.

He was talking about the FED. What kind of transparency he would implement. It is related to Ron's economic plan, where he specifies that the Fed's meetings should be televised and made public.

He was asking about a group of top bankers that meet with Paulson to "manage" markets, most people call it the PPT. It's even less transparent than the Fed, that's not good because it gives the members direct inside information.
