Quote from achilles28:
His holiness did a good job addressing this.
Might I add a couple points.
Congress are largely ignorant as to the Feds machinations or how the money supply works. A few notable Representatives (Ron Paul) have lamented Congressional ignorance for all things economic.
Regardless, the Constitutional authority to make and coin money is vested in Congress.
The system works when the People hold Government accountable. Thats the cornerstone.
As soon as the People sound off, its only becomes a matter of time before our System fails. The checks and balances engineered into our Government only serve to delay the inevitable. Give us time to come to our senses, if you will.
Throwing in the towel because Congress 'won't change' is a defeatist attitude that only solidifies the Fiat Ponzi Scheme.
I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here.
You think the Founders were moonbats to rail against the dangers of a Central Bank?
Maybe you can explain that for us.
It's quite naive to think that Congress is ignorant of the situation.
And I'm not throwing in the towel, what are you talking about? If you believe that the Fed is a big problem, then Congress can fix that, if they want. Making them want to do that may involve voting in other dudes, but it could happen. reread lama's posts - he's the guy saying that if we try to change the system, guys will be killed, and it'll never happen, etc. Sounds to me that he's the one with the defeatist attitude, dontcha think?
Also, the whole "they'll be killed" thing is just stupid. Here's sumthing about Kennedy that the moonbats have lied about -
Facts: Kennedy wrote E.O. 11,110 to phase out silver certificate currency, not to issue more of it. Records show Kennedy and the Federal Reserve were almost always in agreement on policy matters. He even signed legislation to give the Fed more authority to issue currency.
And no, the FF's weren't moonbats, but you two certainly are.
That isn't to say that they were perfect in every regard either - women and minorities couldn't vote, so by today's standards, they kinda got that one wrong, wouldn't you say?
