Abolish the Federal Reserve

On The Big Picture, a rude but concise video by Neal Fox about the Federal Reserve. As his catchy song points out, its existence defies the Constitution - the same Constitution that made President Obama say his Presidential Oath again.

Yet again, I say economic issues resolve into democratic ones. The Constitution is very clear that the power to create money (using gold and silver) must remain with Congress; yet in 1913 that power was given away to a newly-invented quango, run by people whose names and organisations are not permitted to be publicly known (which secrecy gives rise to some very paranoid theories!)

Why wait until its centenary to abolish it? No "four more years", please.

And while I'm on, let's have a massive cull of quangos in the UK, too.
