"Jewish history has been tragic to the Jews and no less tragic to neighboring nations. Our major vice is parasitism. We are a people of vultures, living on the labor and the good nature of the rest of the world." - Samuel Roth, Jews Must Live......Thumbs it up if you know the enemy isn't the NWO, Fascism, or any other mysterious entity.

The federal reserve is NOT an Agency. It is a privatel cartel just like Opec. They are criminals who inserted themselves into our government. Kennedy wanted to end them, he got assasinated. Andrew Jackson did end the criminal central banking cartel back in the 1800s and he had a failed attempt on his life. You mess with these people & even if you are president they will put out a hit on you

he is such an imcompetent criminal asshat. I can't believe he was ever accepted as being a member of the chicago school of economics. He is a straight up fascist

Well, I can tell you one thing (not many more than that sadly though), individual responsibility, across the West, is being eroded.
Regulation at a Fed level all the way down to local councils is on the up. "Do Not..(have fun)" signs are everywhere, with their accompanying tax-raising, fines...
Risk and thus Responsibility is being slowly chipped away from us by the state. It's very worrying as that is a sign of a civilisation's decline in vibrancy.

@climatereview Nice! I use those saying from Friedman too. Smart guy, although I'm not a purest like he is. I often cite Friedman's k-percent rule as an alternative model for discretionary based monetary policy.
You're right about caution towards moving too left. America is at a crossroads. We will decide if government entitlement is the solution to our problems, or return to the model our framers intended. It seems the real price of freedom is individual responsibility. =/

The most succinct caution for our current Western political persuasion - moving too Left:
Buy yourself a present: you care what it is and how much it costs.
Buy for someone else: cost matters, quality doesn't.
Buy for yourself with someone else's money: quality matters, cost doesn't.
Buy for some else with someone else's money: neither cost, nor quality matters...
Welcome to the government.

At the end of the day, Man is corruptible. Luckily Western democracy has gone through evolution (and revolution) to come to quite a good model of balanced government.
The "Fed" should never be in the hands of the politocos, their M.O. is votes and this will always lead to over-spending. A (semi) 3rd Party institution that can (but not currently in U.S.) reign in spending is our current best solution.
Yes, perhaps, full Public Listing is the go.

@climatereview Your points here are very good. Many people are too eager to toss the power of money back to the Treasury. The only thing worse than banks controlling our money supply, is politicians controlling our money supply.
I like your idea of moving the Fed into a public company. I have even considered distributing membership shares based on citizenship. So that the public would own its own central bank.
I have yet to come up with a perfect solution. =(

“The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses…
