I wholeheartedly support your sentiments that the private Federal Reserve needs to be nationalized.
Please do not place it under the direction of the Executive Branch. The Constitution specifically delegates the power of the purse to Congress. The power over money is the ultimate power short of weapons of war.
Congress has been derelict in its duty to authorize war and refused to remove Obsama bin Laden from office despite his unambiguous violation of the War Powers Act in Libya. This is an affront to all the values that we as Americans hold dear and I shudder at the thought of transference of the only remotely comparable power besides War making to the Executive.
The Office of President is intended as a leadership role, a counselor of the nation, and an executor of the will of Congress. Do not betray the good intentions and design of our founding fathers by transferring control of the Federal Reserve from its current private owners to a single man who will undoubtedly still be under the thumb of private interests until the great and illegal confiscation of wealth by the private cartel masquerading with the pretense of federal authority is corrected.
Nationalize the Fed, yes, but place it under the direction of Congress.
I completely agree with you. I didn't realize that his proposal places the control in the Executive Branch. This is very bad.
According to the infowars.com report on the proposal it would place the Fed under the control of the Treasury Department, which answers to the Executive.
NO NO NO! Power of the purse belongs to the Congress and anything else is unconstitutional. Get on the right side of the supreme law of the land, please, Rep. Kucinich. I highly admire your boldness to challenge the Fed and admit that it is a private cartel, but let us go all the way with this thing and restore constitutional governance to this land.
