There is a good reason why these numbers are not what they seem.

However, it is easy to see why any reasonable person would become suspicious under these circumstances. And, *sigh*, of course Senator Sanders means well...

But there really are good reasons why these numbers are widely misunderstood, and there is a very simple alternative, a third way of explaining this apparent mathematical/logical anomaly.

You see, my dear Zalatix, the dichotomy between two spheres within the Friedman-Smith parabellum cannot be reconciled within the chrono-simplastic infundibulum, which automatically negates the equation that 1 + 1 = 2. Therefore, no action can (constitutionally) be taken under a premise that any financial institutions committed a crime. The appearance of what seems like an obvious crime regarding the missing $457.06 (Senator Sanders is only a US Senator and obviously has no real grasp of the financial affairs of the global corporate/finance system, and subsequently therefore should not be throwing around this ridiculously inflated figure of $16 million) is simply a binary refraction of the quantum basis for the seeming incompatibility between the Rimini protocol and the Calmfors–Driffill hypothesis.

(At this point, from my authoritative POV as spokeswoman for the Director of Global Astrology at the prestigious Wall St. firm of Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe, I am compelled to interject that Glass Steagall can not be reinstated as it has been proven to be un-Constitutional by the Robert's Court re-interpretation of the Khazzoom–Brookes postulate of 1863).

Now, I know that you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you read is not what I meant, and that is not the case. You must realize that there are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns.

Consequently, we are forced to conclude that there are things we don't know we don't know, and these are not things we know right now.

Therefore, under these conditions, 1 + 1 does not equal two, and Senator Sanders is completely mistaken in his assumptions about the missing $447.05.

I hope this clears things up for you, and that you now fully understand why auditing the Fed is bad for Bank of America.

So, please, don't worry about these insignificant issues Senator Sanders has erroneously exposed, be a good citizen, and move along now...there's nothing to see here.
