Through fractional …
Through fractional reserve banking, won’t this trillion turn into ten trillion through deposits and loans in member banks, or something long those lines? This could cause serious hyperinflation once they take it all out of reserves. What they have taken out and lent already hasbeen responsible for the dollar falling to it’s lowestrate this year against foreign currencies. It is remarkable that the Federal reserve can by treasuries or toxic ets without appropriation considering its effects.

It sounds scary, …
It sounds scary, but why not some kind of Military build up in the US?? The civil unrest of an economic meltdown would be HORRIBLE in the US…Washington would be burned to CINDERS, every single monument would be crushed into dust…and all public officials found would be, unfortunately, greeted with violent citizens…

So I think the system will hold, I hope…The world cannot afford to see the US collapse, it will go down too…

While I’m no expert, I have learned a little about it.

All of this money that has been given to the banks is just sitting at the FED on deposit. The banks are unsure about the economy and therefore are not loaning the money out. The problem will be when things start to pick up and then all of the banks start loan this massive amount of money, thereby increasing the money supply, which may bring on hyperinflation. The FED plans on reigning in the money supply at this point; high interest rates.

I have news for you …
I have news for you…its worthless now..I mean, its not backed by anything…its Fiat currency..the difference though would be, the country wouldn’t have to borrow the money from the FED and then killed with compounded interest, keeping the country in perpetual, unsustainable debt..

Can you imagine our congress having the ability to print money? Our currency would be worthless within one year.

My whole thing is, why is everyone trying to act like Obama is to blame or the cause…this problem has been around really, since the beginning of this country…you can find quotes from Thomas Jefferson warning against Central Bankers, but they had so much power and influence, that they couldn’t be stopped…I agree with your essment about JFK, and apparently similar circumstances led to the death of Lincoln as well…He too, had suggested the Union begin to print its own currency…

actually, the 38 …
actually, the 38 years ago, was a reference to when we went off the gold standard….that’s the point when the Fed started printing money when they felt like it, and didn’t have to worry about how much to print, since it wasn’t really backed by anything…As far as what it would take to pay off the debt, you would actually have to get the person who is owed, to agree to the worth of your new note…this is the problem, as long as you owe me, i pretty much get to set the terms of the loan..

Im not disagreeing with you homie, or trying to have an argument with you. No president has done it because, one they dont want to get killed, i said they “can” change the law, not that they will. And number two because as long as every president is Trilateral Commission, or CFR or Builderburg group, or all three for that matter we dont really have a president, we have a corporate chairman who is sitting in the Manager position for 4 year intervals. It is “that simple” if anybody will

well to be honest a federal reserve note is worth about 2cents versus what it was worth back in 1913 which is when the federal reserve was started. Not 38 years ago. So if the treasury printed notes backed by actual worth they would be worth so much more it wouldnt take 9.5 trillion to pay off the debt. it would take significantly less. And to answer your question Kennedy did exactly what i suggest in executive order 11110. research “the silver certificate” look what happened to him
