“Ruling on the Feds – small victory for Americans”

The court ruling that the US Federal reserve should open its books and reveal how money is spent is “a very small victory for 75 percent of Americans”, Nicole Kardell, a legal analyst, told RT.

It failed to convince Manhattan Chief U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska that the documents should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act because their disclosure would harm borrowers’ competitive positions.

Meanwhile, banks are worried that people might take money out of their accounts if they think that those banks are in trouble.
