And seeing as how we are trillions of dollars in debt because congress just doesn't understand economics, I don't want them in charge of something so important. A Ron Paul fan or not, we can all agree, Congress taking charge over the Fed is not what we need or want.

Remember, there's only so much credit we can extend to Americans. Too much credit is what put us in this recession in the first place. If we help stimulate the world economy, natural ups and downs will level out and everything will eventually get better. Thank god congress doesn't audit the Fed. I don't know if you guys know this, but if Congress had power to audit the Fed, they'd have power to regulate the economy just as much as the Fed.

@Chnamanjx Sorry, a bank cannot lend out $90 if they only have $10 in deposits.

Lending money to foreign banks isn't new. We did the same thing with europe and germany after WWI to try and get the world economy out of the shitter. In the end, we increased the tariff and stopped lending money, which led to the Great Depression. Alan Grayson, learn your facts. This shit isn't new. It's just a repeat and it helps get us (and the world economy - since we are all connected now) back on track.

Alan Grayson has an economics degree and now knows more than Ben Bernanke. What an ignorant asshole. Stop laughin and go suck some dicks.

No you deposit $10 in the bank, the bank loans out $90.

"Why should some private company manufacture money?"I deposit $10 in the bank. The bank loans out $9. Why do you feel the bank manufactured money? |
