Quote from FireWalker:
After thinking about things a few days...
"Consideration" is a legal principle. All contracts require value to be conveyed or that contract is null and void. Since the Fed kites checks, no value (consideration) was conveyed, so T-bonds are null and void.
That puts the value of all Treasury bonds at $0. The result of that would destroy most of the investment banks and some insurance companies. Most member banks of the Federal Reserve keep their assets in commercial paper, so they would probably be ok. The value of the dollar will likely remain unaffected in the short-run (improving in the long run). That puts personal income taxes at $0. Interestingly, there is a strong legal argument that most mortgages would also go to close to $0.
So... to recap: The Federal Reserve kites checks so it can be dissolved as a corporation. Govt bonds go to $0, thereby eliminating the national debt and personal income taxes.
Interestingly enough, all Federal Reserve employees would be very attractive as employees to the US Treasury, FBI, and various Wall Street-type firms.
