Poll: What is your most important election issue?

[What Would Jesus Do?]

Anyone else find it interesting that Terrorism is nowhere close to being the top choice in this poll?

Plenty of periods of inflation before the Fed. But even more important, more periods of recession. For all the reasons that you and I agree to dislike the Fed, it was at least partly designed to prevent and respond to recessions. Obviously not a total success at that. But a partial success.

There's also a perfectly reasonable argument to be made that some inflation is good. Printing more money is one of various ways to try to increase inflation, even if it's only one factor and doesn't necessarily produce that outcome.

Inflation is also caused by fractional reserve banking. Either way, it's an expansion of money that causes it's devaluation.

As for the FED stemming the tide of recessions, that's just an outright fallacy. It actually prolongs recessions by making legislation like TAARP and the "Stimulus Package" more likely.

If you would have put Terrorism/Government as an option, I probably would have chosen that. They're the real terrorists.

After reading some recent posts, it is clear that mandatory economics classes in high school should be national election issue....

Tax Reform. Rebuild the IRS and the tax code from the ground up. You would find billions in new revenue and help the middle class.

It's your Horus given, American right to be an economic heathen. Unfortunately, economic heathens are easily manipulated by those in high places.

There have been a few central banks in our short history of the U.S. The Fed's stated goal is to bring stability to the dollar. It has failed miserably and we have recessions every 4 years due to the boom- bust cycles caused by their artificial manipulation of rates by the Oligarchs. Since 1913, 98% of the dollar's purchasing power has been insidiously stolen, not lost. The stable periods have been w/o the interference of a private banking cartel. Robert Morris and Nicholas Biddle controlled our money in the early years.

In the old days with Kings, their empire ambitions were financed by clipping the outside of gold coins. They would then melt them down. The people became wise of the diminution of value stolen right under their noses.

One of the main reasons for the current Fed's founding was a lot of banking power was moving westward during the expansion. The Eastern Elites would have none of it.. Ahhh Hell! It's getting late. Here is a great book you can read. Open in Pdf.
