    An Alternative to Capitalism?

    The following link, takes you to a "utopian" article, entitled "Home of the Brave?" which I wrote and appeared in the Athenaeum Library of Philosophy:

    Jen - if we have a gold standard, how will we inject money into the system if we need it? The gold standard limits a governments ability to be flexible. Of course if one is well off financially, then government programs can be objectionable.

    jen, you are right about that illegal entity called the Federal Reserve who prints a 100 dollar bill for 4 cents and gets interest on their money. Congress gave up their power to print money in 1913. They continue to be the same spineless politicians today. Under the Fed's rule, the dollar has lost 95 percent of purchasing power since 1913. China holds $900 billion in U.S. Treasuries. If we don't play nice with China, they can dump dollars back on us to collapse the system.

    Just goes to show that trust and confidence in the Federal Reserve (which in actual fact is neither Federal, nor is it a reserve) in protecting the value of American currency (vs protecting the interests of US and int'l big bankers) is shot utterly to hell. Time to decommission the Fed and go back to a gold standard. Ron Paul's right. More info: The book called the Creature from Jeckyll Island is an eye opener as to the utter corruption.
