There is an error is the posted text that I would like to point out. The "Federal Reserve" is as federal as "Federal Express" is. In other words, the "Federal Reserve" is a privately owned bank (with share holders such as Rockfeller, Rothschild, .. ), and not a public entity. This is fact. Look it up.
I'm pretty happy with it. I haven't had to take out any loans for a surgery or to see a doctor yet so I will say its been working pretty well here. It's not perfect but nothing ever really is.
The actions that this country has taken in the last few years and the new notion that "we are a socialist country" is really odd. It just proves people will never be happy.
