Nov 9th, 2010: A CRITICAL issue to understand.
The Federal Reserve is not a Federal agency or any part of the US government...It is a consortium of the biggest commercial banks, its board is made up of bankers appointed by the banks. Thus its constituency and apparently at this time, sole concern, is the well being of the big banks. During the Wilson administration the ability to produce money and control monetary policy was handed over to them. No one can vote them out of office. This is a key concept to understand because in 2010 the voters voted their anger that the economy has not been improved when, in fact, key aspects of it are outside the control of the President and both parties. And it makes even more critical the understanding of the outrageous action being taken against the American people and the people of the world by the Fed printing an additional $600 Billion dollars!
