*****How Money Is Created

I finally found something that explains the Federal Reserve to me and how it does things. I knew allot of money was being created but I didn't know the governing rules and it how this was being done .

Following sent in by Jess:

I knew money was being created because our ever growing amount of goods and services in an ever growing population should create deflation if the amount of money remains constant. In fact if money was constant instead of a bell pepper costing $1.79 today and $.05 in 1913 it should only cost a penny today (approximate figures). Although I never saw a government pie chart that showed created money as a part of our revenue.

The following link explains this well. http://www.livevideo.com/video/walkinturtle2u/2F3DE48315C642B2A846A587534159EB/money-as-debt.aspx

After you open it up, wait on it and give it a chance to load.
This is a great video of how this is done. I have read allot on this but never felt I understood it well. This is a great explanation. Look at it. This should be taught in every public school.
Love, Jess

You Support Fed. Gov. With More Than Half Of Your Income

This is from Ron Paul's website:

"The real issue is that the overall budget is too big, by far, which is why I always vote against it. But attacking the 1 percent that was earmarked solves nothing. The whole issue is a distraction from the real problems we face, which are that the Federal Government will absorb over 1/3 of our country’s GDP this year and taxpayers are forced to fork over more than half their income to fund government at all levels. On top of that, the national debt is $11 trillion, which is $36,000 per citizen. The recent increases in bailouts, government spending and money creation is going to hobble our economy for decades. We must curb the government’s appetite severely if this country is ever to thrive again. The noise over “earmarks” is a red herring and a distraction from the real issue of uncommitted spending."

"It is time to attack the entirety of government spending. We especially need a full account of the activities of the Federal Reserve that spends and creates trillions of dollars with no meaningful oversight. This is a huge problem that needs immediate attention."
