He's referring to the fed that existed until 1832. We had central banks off and on for the first 43 years after our Constitution. Andrew Jackson put an end to it.
Adams was great? He messed up Ben Franklin's diplomacy during the revolution. He signed the Sedition Acts of 1797 (illegal to speak against the gov.). On his way out, when Jefferson beat him, he passed a bunch of last minute legislation to take away the power of the incoming republican admin. to fix what he messed up, part of which was an attempt to decrease the number of supreme court justices after the next one retired so that Jefferson couldn't appoint a new one.
mike- what makes you think we will not see a crash? Did stealing half of your money stop the crash or did it delay the inevitable? Ron Paul has far more economic expertise and experience than you do. When you can telk to me about Von Mises and Hayek without looking them up, get back to me. You don't have to be a fool to hate Ron Paul but it seem as if it is a common thing.
Popular misconception.. and that's the only problem.Many people don't vote for either party 'cause they know it's pointless... they're starting to see the light this year. There's a strong force for independents that's been hampered only by the media, and even that is bursting at the seams.
Dodd, Franks, Pelosi were all responsible for letting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to get out of control and commit fraud. Bill Clinton was responsible for pushing the idea that even people not qualified for mortgages should have them. Who is yelling at Bill Clinton? They're talking about wanting him in Congress. Pleeeeezzzze.These Congressmen are frauds and cheats and liars and need to be turned out of Congress by the voters. Will this happen? Don't hold your breath!- because this isn't your money at stake (the future value of your money, sure,If someone takes my money and cuts its value in half or worse, they have stolen my money. . .end of argument.
