The Board of Governors. Usually considered the fourth branch of government. Why does the executive "appoint" it's head? What is her/his government salary? Because that is what the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 commands... Or from congress? So, your position is that the federal reserve is a mem...

You'll need it, kid - at least, in this thread. The whole purpose of this thread is to call you retards on the hypocrisy and the flimsiness of your reagan meme. You want to have it both ways (as usual - hell, you even flee my request that you choose the for years by which we will both agree to jud...

Look at the chart, retard. Look at Carter's RED line - the FULL TIME JOB line. It shoots up like a rocket. As soon as reagan takes over, it plummets - and never matches the blue line until he's gone. Reagan was a number manipulator. He was the first president to stop counting anyone not collecting...

So, he was a dottering chump, abused by the big mean libruls? An ineffectual figure head, not responsible for the drug dealing, arms to iran, violations of law that his underlings engaged in? Wanna stick with that meme? Fine. His GOOD results are not his, either. They belong to the bully dems and hi...

What branch? Why does the executive "appoint" it's head? What is her/his government salary? Or from congress? So, your position is that the federal reserve is a member of the legislative branch, that does not answer to the legislative OR executive branch, and operates independently of both? ...

Reagan wanted $3 in spending cuts for every $1 in new taxes but liberals, being liberals, lied. They got their new taxes, and the new revenue from a growing economy, and spent it all plus more....

What would that be - massive borrowing until an inevitable collapse? I can tell you this - the deregulation of wall street has certainly been implemented, to the great disadvantage of the working and middle classes....

Also, the Federal Reserve -- for all intensive purposes -- is a government agency. It's only independent in terms of monetary policy. It works with the government and it subjective to government oversight. The Fed is merely an arm of the US Congress. It's only referred to as 'independent' because it...
