Economic Rant, or, How I Learned to Stop Asking Questions and Love the Fed

When a political liberal college publishes a study questioning the efficacy of our most communist president to date, you know there is trouble brewing.

Roosevelt, the hero president, was no better a leader than any of the mealy-mouthed morons who feed like parasites on our prosperity today. He just did it with dignity, I suppose.

FYI, the Austrian School of economics and the late Murray Rothbard have been fighting against mainstream ignorance for decades, attempting tell the truth about the Great Depression. It was caused by misguided and inept government policies, and to a more cynical extent by the intentional manipulation of money and markets by the Federal Reserve.

In the onset of the Great Depression, circa 1929-1945, easy credit and free markets run amok were blamed for the collapsing economy. The government stepped in heroically to save the world from total economic collapse. Our selfless public servants courageously fought for the little man against greedy capitalists.

In the onset of the Second Great Depression, circa 2008-????, easy credit and free markets run amok are being blamed for the collapsing economy. The government is stepping in heroically to save the world from total economic collapse. Our selfless public servants are courageously fighting for the little man against greedy capitalists.

This is a modern day history lesson, brought to life in 3D and, for the first time, in all the colors of the rainbow!


"Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of industry and commerce. And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate."

~ James Garfield, 20th US president

"Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are US government institutions. They are not... they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the US for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will."

~ Louis McFadden, (R) Pennsylvania, House of Representatives

  1. An anagram of Federal Reserve is "reefer dealers." Oops, it seems I dropped an extraneous "v." There it is.

    Also, "feared elves err." Indeed.

  2. "Feared revelers!!" That one is so much better than those other two.
