    Who controls the FED?

    Saw the movie, thought it was a stupid attempt by Russo to defend his pending tax evasion trial...... The Federal Reserve banks have only a small share of the total national debt (about 7%). That's hardly what I would call control... Nearly all the Federal Reserve's net earnings are repaid...

    Here's some history about wht the Fed system was enacted: Prior to the Civil war there were thousands of banks in operation throughout the Union, all of them chartered, that is, licensed by the state governments. Banking regulations were virtually nonexistent. The federal government had no...

    Who controls the FED?

    The regional Federal Reserve Banks are private owned, but they are controlled by the Board of Governors -- a federal agency whose members are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Board sets monetary policy and the Federal Reserve Banks execute it. In other words, the...

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    Ok, I'm watching the video again as I write this. First thing that I feel is wrong is the guys statement that banks create money from the borrower's promise to repay. I'd say that's false, the bank controls the asset (house). So when you go 'borrow' money from a bank, you're not really...

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    Ok, I understand your point about money being fiat, and I agree with that. I also agree that it's not better or worse,as long as the currency being used, be it fiat paper or feathers like the video gave, works. I think we also agree, that in essence, the banking system and the 'creation' of...

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    Hey boss- I would think that money isn't backed by debt, but rather by a giant web of assets - homes (from home loans), cars (from car loans), and business assets (from business loans), etc... Am I off base here?

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    Thanks Trefoil and Ron for the reply- Ron, the lowinf/hi inf distribution of wealth is clearly over my head. LOL. Could you explain a little the mechanism for this? Is it a different scenario for short term consumer credit vs a long term home loan where the borrower would get the benefit...

    Fiat currency and fractional reserve banking

    The video prompted a question that I hope that someone could answer : A hypothetical situation - 1-Mr Joe Average works for a credible company that gives COL raises to offset inflation/devaluation of say, 3%. 2- His biggest debt, like most middle income families, is his house, which he...

    LMAOOOOOO Now Rat has to resort to personal attacks to try and make his point. Truly the last gasp for the defeated. Tell you what Rat, since I'm feeling sorry for you. I'll help you a little. Remember I keep asking you whether or not the SC has ever overturned a conviction? Guess what...

    Ron Paul praises the criminal element...

    More on voluntary compliance: Undeterred by his stint in the slammer, Schiff went back to court. The court dismissed Schiff’s notion that the U.S. tax system is voluntary and no income tax is "legally required." To the extent that income taxes are said to be "voluntary," however, they...
