The Federal reserve system fights inflation? Most people think they borrow money from a bank. What a joke. It an agreement to have a bank print money for you and you promise to pay it back with interest. Inflation is built in since the only way to pay the interest is to print more money by taking on more debt. So all that happens is banks print money for you which siphons wealth from the rest of the economy and they charge interest on what they never owned. This sets the table for depressions.

The gold standard is not workable. The Federal Reserve is a monopoly. Gold can be monopolized. If you really want to see the danger see "The Long Depression" when silver was demonetized and gold monopolies were formed. Lincoln green backs are the best option. Fiat currencies are not perfect but we have a fractional reserve debt currency, the worst of all.

the whole process of credit and inflation is fraud. It is a slow way of creating poverty and destorying the dollar. If you have gold in your possession, KEEP IT. It is the only currency that cant be printed out of thin air and saturate the market.

Put Ron Paul in charge of the Federal Reserve. This organization is more secretive than the CIA, less federal than FedEx and not at all in the interest of the people.

Did Bernanke just say that there is no direct relation between the amount of money in circulation and inflation. Dear god the man is a dumbass.
