Reply #7: According to the Constitution the Congress issues money. That was farmed out

[thereismore]

to a central PRIVATE entity (the Fed Bank). That is the problem. That, and lending with interest. When the Fed issues $100 of money and lends it at 10%, how can $110 come back to it when there is only $100 in circulation? That is why there are crashes, bubbles and depressions. The losses are built into the system. It's sickening really. Money should be printed in a Federal (i.e. gov'mint mint), and lending should be at 0 interest. Funny.
