Fed News Friday: My Ice-Breaker of Choice

"Niiiiiiice"

"But what do we do after that?"

"Hell yeah!"

I often hear these statements before a "Hello, how are you?" even begins. It's not everyday you cross paths with a stranger and evoke deep conversation. As I grow older, I try to use every interaction with a stranger in a meaningful way -- it could be anything from a smile accompanied by a kind gesture, or, on the other end of "meaningful," if I express my feelings towards an inconsiderate person's behavior.

Either way, interactions with strangers can be special and teach you life long lessons. This is why I've decided one of the best ways of creating significant conversations is rocking liberty-minded messages on my clothing that gets the conversation going before I even open my mouth to say "hello."

One of my favorites is my "End the Fed" shirt.

Ending the Fed and the Constitutional Tender Act

I assume the reader already wants to End the Fed, so I won't make that case here. However, society is full of people who feel differently, so we must continue the intellectual battle of educating the masses while also applying the appropriate political pressure to end the Fed.

The American Dream (Myth)

This is an incredibly entertaining and informative video (about 30 minutes in length) on the history of banking and on Fractional Reserve Banking. An excellent introduction -- though it may come off as conspiratorial (I believe the Rothschilds are used to represent global banking in general after the British Bank Crisis) -- to many free-market values and is a strong resource in the campaign to END the FED.

The Fed's Increased Efforts to Hide Bailout Records

On Friday, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke gave a speech claiming that the economy is finally headed on the right track. He stated at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s annual economic symposium that "despite this recent slowing, however, it is reasonable to expect some pickup in growth in 2011 and in subsequent years."

Not so fast. It has become apparent that Ben Bernanke’s economic forecasts are rarely ever correct. Here are just a few quotes showing Ben Bernanke’s oblivion to the looming housing crisis from 2005 to 2007:

CNBC announcer Maria Bartiromo, July 2005: We have so many economists coming on our air and saying oh this is a [housing] bubble and it’s going to burst and this is going to be a real issue for the economy. Some say it could even create a recession at some point. What is the worst case scenario?

Ben Bernanke: I guess I don’t buy your premise. It’s a pretty unlikely possibility… I don’t think it’s going to drive the economy too far from its full employment path though…I’m hopeful and I’m confident in fact that the bank regulators will pay close attention to the kind of loans that are being made and making sure underwriting is done right.

No, I Won't Streak. However...

I will run through the Harvard Economics Department screaming "End the Fed" if our fundraising goal is met by September 3rd. Only $6,365 left to raise!

Calling Liberty Minds at Texas Tech

As I was browsing the internet (searching articles about Ron Paul) I came across this article from the Texas Tech student paper:

Federal Reserve not perfect, but necessary:

Now this is one of the biggest arguments politicians like Ron Paul and other anti-federal proponents like to make; that the fact that the fed is partly private and owned by commercial banks somehow constitutes some sort of giant conspiracy against the people of this country. This argument is misguided and naïve.....

Now, let’s say you have just been shot and are suffering from a bullet wound. Who are you going to trust to treat your wound? An accountant? A lawyer? A politician or bureaucrat? No, you’re going to trust a physician, somebody with experience in the field. You’re going to trust somebody like Ron Paul, because he is a physician by practice.

Mr. Paul has no formal education or background in economics or financial matters, yet some people like to believe he knows more about the economy than economic PhD recipients.

So it is possible for someone liberty-minded at Texas Tech to respond? If not, I (or someone in YAL?) would be glad to respond. I believe a response is needed, not to defend Dr. Paul, but to point out flaws in the argument and it's a great chance to publish an article about the Fed.

You can read the rest of the article here.
