The Fed!!

avatar

With the screams of recession looming in our midst the Federal Reserve Bank has decided to cut interest rates in the attempts at stablizing our economy.
For those of you who don't know what the Federal Reserve is, They are the privatly run central bank of America, which, create our money and regulate the value there of.

But wait...
Our Constitution States that Congress has the vested powers;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States

as well as;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures

I'm Confused...

Why have we taken a power, from Congress and the People, and given it to a Private organization?  
Why do we allow a private bank to make our money for us, and then sell it to us, for a profit?
Why is a private bank regulating our economy, limiting our free market?
Why is it, that, not even the President can sit in on a board meeting of the Federal Reserve while they determine Americas financial future?  
Why is the Federal Reserve allowed to ignore the demands of Congress?
Why are we allowing our Constitution to be trampled on?

These are just a few questions i think we should start asking ourselves.
