try to tell them you do not owe and you will get Wesley Sniped, but mostly correct.
The Federal reserve BANKS are private.
The Federal reserve BOARD is a government agency, the head appointed by the sitting president and confirmed by congress. IIRC the majority of the employees are under the SES
question, is this post about US monetary policy, taxation or covid? It seems to cover all 3 at random times..
The post was in response to a question about history
As for the Federal Reserve Board, it is comprised of private bankers, and is not a Federal Agency. The Chairman is indeed appointed by the President which presents the appearance of a subordinate, but thats all it is, an illusion. They do not answer to either the President or Congress. They are a totally autonomous, private cartel who answers to no Federal authority.
Thats what makes them unconstitutional. Congress is not empowered by the Constitution to delegate their monetary responsibility to a private entity, let alone one comprised in part by foreign nationals.
Have they thought about who's supposed to pay for all that free stuff? Because if they haven't learned up to this point, they'll learn once they become the adults responsible for running things, that there really IS no free ride.
All this free money the current President is handing out will have to be paid back.
One where I have the freedom to stand up to my employer.
In America if you don’t have money you don’t have freedom. If you want to change jobs you have to lose healthcare for 3 months. Employers can mandate overtime, cut benefits etc.
This limits freedom. Unless you are lucky to have a wealthy relative it’s hard to advance. We have one of the lowest relative social mobility ratings in the world. Meaning if you are born poor you are likely to die poor.
Even Jordan Peterson, right wing darling who rails against the leftists has said Canada’s system is better.
Here in the US the definition of freedom has been reduced to simply your choices as a consumer and low taxes and we are conditioned to believe that is the epitome of freedom. I want more freedom for my kids.
and like some of the previous wise posters said, we want free marijuana, healthcare, housing and we want a govt that decides what people need and don't need like 5 bedroom McMansions because we all know nobody needs that. But we need the other stuff to be free. Oh and I want niceness to be more important in our kids' curriculum than math which needs an equity rewrite. It was made up by old white men like Newton and our generation wants to hear from new math voices.
Where are we supposed to get the money for war? Or border walls? Or military aid for foreign countries?
It seems if the military industrial complex gets money out of it, it's viable, but if it directly benefits American citizens, it's somehow beyond our reach.
This whole thread is like a child’s wish list to Santa. Free healthcare, free college, free this free that......oh and legal dope for all. The young people wonder why Boomers and Gen Xers have rejected them well this is why. Remember we have worked all our lives for what we have. Why should it be different for the youth?
Remember children that it will be a long time before the boomers are all gone and even then us Gen Xers stand in the way of your socialist dreams. The average Gen Xers are about 50 now so we will be telling you kids to “get off our lawns” for at least another 30 years. The combined political power of the Boomers and Xers should be enough to blunt the leftist dreams of the youth for a while yet. The country is about to get a lesson in that during the 22 midterm and the 24 president election.
Exactly. The more middlemen there are between the end user of a product or service and the person/entity paying for it, the more expensive it becomes and the worse the quality. And insurance and government are the ultimate middlemen.
You don't take out insurance to cover your oil changes, you save up for them. Just like you shouldn't take out insurance coverage to cover your Sudafed or primary care visit when you get sick. A lot of single payer advocates are too stupid to realize that healthcare itself must become affordable for health insurance to become affordable. And thus both are one and the same.
The best analogy I see is by John Stossell. If we had grocery insurance, people would all buy steak instead of hamburger.
Insurance example: I had insurance to pay for vision. I was buying my daughter a pair of glasses. She has a really strong correction and needs glasses 100% of the time so I got her the transition lenses for sun. The store quoted me something like $600 with insurance. I was thinking of buying her a backup pair which we have had to get in the past. They quoted me over $400 for the same pair because insurance didn't cover it. In other words, they could gouge the insurance company with the first pair but since they knew it wasn't going to cover the second, they charged me less. To me, this seems like fraud. I took my business to another store that didn't take insurance and paid sticker, which was lower.

They are trying install a fed member who is a climate change person who has said in the past that they fed should control to whom money is lended. So guess what happens here? They don't do business with oil companies and drive them out of business. Less oil means higher cost to all of us.
They are implementing the Green New Deal through regulators of various organizations. And they say there is no Deep State. So next time you get irritated at the gas pump, blame it on Democrats.
