For all the anti-FED people on here....
Here is some Grade A propaganda on why the FED should be abolished:

And here who is behind it:

Just want to let you know who is on your side. I'm encouraging people to actually research what the FED is and not believe the conspiracy theories out there that are right wing bunk of the highest order.

1. Most of the anti-Fed agitprop is recycled John Birch society conspiracy theory, like anti-UN and
chemtrails, etc.

3. How about wrong by association...
I see the same recycled arguments from John Birch types on here.

5. Of what?
Making sure your beliefs of the FED aren't really just right wing propaganda? I don't mind if people criticize the Fed, but a lot of the criticism is based on falsehoods created by the far right. Might as well know about it.

6. Illogical argument
It is much the same as saying that abortion supporters are also pro-eugenics because Planned Parenthood's founder was, at one time, in favor of eugenics.

Absurd argument.

13. Illogical argument...
I never said that being Anti-Fed makes you a right winger or libertarian, just to watch out for some of the anti-Fed propaganda out there.

7. Fed bashing is just Republican scapegoating
I'm not surprised to see biased Republican Ideologues are associated with it.
