It’s time for this private cartel of banks to be thrown out. The Constitution explicitly states that the Congress will have the power to coin and regulate money – NOT some private cartel of banks that operate in secrecy.

The Federal Reserve is absolutely anathema to the concept of a free market and free society.

Bring down the Federal Reserve!!

The Fed fears politicizing monetary policy? Who cares? They have already monetized political policy. Everybody can see its just one big clusterf%ck. Shine a light on these cockroaches already. Watch ‘em scatter as we step on them all.

Not to incite the normal “Obama’s bad, but Bush was horrible” conversation, but what was Bush’s ties to Goldman Sachs? How about Clinton?

I ask because the article states, “The close ties between Wall Street and the White House has for many years allowed the Federal Reserve to continue to operate unsupervised by the Congress.”

“Hate Bill” Favoritism

If “hate bill”-obsessed Congress can’t protect Christians from “gays” as much as it wants to protect “gays” from Christians, will Congress be surprised if it can’t protect itself from most everyone? If “hate bills” are forced on captive Americans, they’ll still find ways to sneakily continue to “plant” Biblical messages everywhere. By doing so they’ll hasten God’s judgment on their oppressors as revealed in Proverbs 19:1. (See related web items including “David Letterman’s Hate, Etc.,” “Separation of Raunch and State,” “Michael the Narc-Angel,” and “Obama Avoids Bible Verses.”) Since Congress can’t seem to legislate “morality,” it’s making up for it by legislating “immorality”!

Dear Geoff,
You write, “Without the Fed, Congress has to pay its bills and tax the people for spending.”

The Fed’s actions create the largest tax we have on our money. All the Fed does is allow Congress the ability to spend whatever it wants and hide the fact that it is taxing us to death.

Wonder why you can’t seem to save money and get anywhere? Wonder why you work all your life only to have nothing to show for it? This didn’t use to be the case.

You can’t save money and get anywhere because the Fed is keeping interest rates artificially low. This costs all savers a whole lot of money. In fact, my savings should have quadrupled over the past 40 years or so, instead, they are exactly the same as when I put the money in and now the money is worth a tenth as much.

Moreover, by simply printing the money to pay its debts, MY money is now worth a whole lot less. If the money fairy came down and doubled everyone’s money tomorrow, no one would be one penny richer. Everything would just cost double, but if they double the cost of Goldman Sachs’ money and NOT mine, GS is a lot better off because they get to pay their debts with “cheap” dollars, and I am taxed. Because the dollars used to pay me are worth less.

But Geoff, you are correct when you write that sound money is the real restraint on the Government. Anyone against sound money is simply saying they are against government restraint, they are against keeping your money safe, and they are against NOT stealing from you.

The rabbit hole goes deeper than the Obama administration. The Fed enables deficit spending. So every bit of unconstitutional spending, pet projects, bribing of fellow members on key votes, wars, you name it, it now engulfs our children’s children, is enabled by the Fed. Without the Fed, Congress has to pay its bills, and tax the people for spending. That’s why sound money, is the real restraint on government by the People.
