Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who is not a member of the US
government in any form, but rather from the Federal Reserve, a private
bank,
is telling the US government what to do. This I find offensive!

The great thing about this country is that I can tell anyone to do
anything
I want. What I lack, at the moment, is the ability to compel anyone to
do
anything I want.


Or, in fact, pay any attention to you once they hear what you have to say.

Bingo Harry, you finaly get it. I have the right to say whatever I want,
however, I don't have the right to be heard. This distinction is lost on
many, if not all, of those on the left side of the isle.

You lefties are afraid of us righties being heard and you try to stop us
from speaking at every oppourtunity. This just proves that what we have to
say may change some minds towards our way of thinking.

Hmmm, let me get this straight.... BushCo gives us back a pittance of
OUR money, in the form of a tax rebate, right? Then, because he didn't
use that money to pay for some of his worst-ever federal deficit,
Greenspan is so afraid that it will spiral out of control, that he
wants to use Social Security money, again, OUR money, to pay off some
of the deficit?? Even the conservatives should be able to see what's
wrong with THIS!! :

Say *what*?

You may want to look into that a bit more carefully. Start with learning about
the "Federal Reserve Act" of 1913.

Just did to double check, seems like a private bank to me.

Here what they say:
"The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, also called the Glass-Owen Bill,
established the Federal Reserve System in the United States.
The Federal Reserve System is an independent central bank. Although the
President of the United States appoints the chairman of the Fed and this
appointment is approved by the United States Senate, the decisions of the
Fed do not have to be ratified by the President or anyone else in the
executive branch of the United States government.
According to the United States Constitution, the United States Congress has
the power and responsibility to coin money and set its value. In the 1913
Federal Reserve Act, Congress itself shirked this responsibility and gave
this power to a private corporation known as the Federal Reserve. "

You are correct Bert and I agree, he does have the right to speak his mind.
I stated that to hastily, The unfortunate thing is that when he speaks the
government
seems compelled to listen. Remember he is not working for the best
interests of the US
but rather he is working for the benefit of his bank.
