    Glad to see this debate finally under way. It's been slow but sure.

    The Constitution gives Congress the power to print and regulate the value of a national currency. Nothing more... and the Federal Reserve does far more.
    The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. - James Madison

    The link Twfan55 posted is from Newstopia. It's pretty amusing show actually.

    Various YouTube vids/recordings on the Federal Reserve from a man who probably understands it, and it history, more than anyone in the world. He wrote the classic book on the subject - "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look At The Federal Reserve" (Ed Griffin).

    He is neither an historian nor an economist. Just another part of the anti CFR, anti-Federal Reserve, anti-international jewish banker rant group -- IMO. Also -- anybody tied to the George Wallace campaign needs other credentials to improve credability. As for his book, "The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look At The Federal Reserve" -- I had a copy, I have read it -- I am not impressed with the academic quality of the research. To much is drawn from circumstance and he is too quick to disregard substansive documents that disagree with his world view. I would never quote directly from the book as an authoritative source.

    Regards.
