However where I disagree with you is with the FED. I know all about the FED - I cover all the financial stuff like a blanket Sure the FED is the major root cause of all of this, but there's not a thing we can do - can't vote Bernanke out - not a Gov't entity. No way the public can influence the FED. Even if they audit the FED and everybody is appalled, Bernanke can still do whatever the hell he wants and thumb his nose at the audit. Even Congress can't tell him what to do. I guess the President can fire him, but not sure what the exact mechanism is to do this. By the way, the FED cannot spend our money - only Congress is authorized to do that. The FED can only monetize and loan.
And why do you guys want to shut down the discussion anyway? Why can't we discuss these things? if you don't like what we're saying, don't read/comment on the post. if you think what we're saying is garbage, then counter us with facts. You guys sound like typical liberals - you want to stifle or berate any dissenting opinions.
Ultimately IMHO we need to eliminate the FED altogether, but an audit is a first step. Most folks on this board know more about the FED and economics than the congressional representatives, so I know I'm singing to the choir

. But if they REALLY followed the money trail back to Goldman Sachs (Paulsons old firm) and the rest of the crooked bankers others might finally figure it out.
Personally I think the whole birth certificate issue has been beaten to death, but I don't care if you want to continue to discuss it. Wherever Obama was born he was bought and paid for by the powers that be. His #1 campaign contributor was Goldman Sachs. That's where I currently hang my tin hat, but if your deal is the birth certificate have at it - we're still a free country - for now
