The Federal Reserve IS a private bank.

In sum, I submit that an honest conversation on financial reform must deal with causes rather than symptoms. Word out of Washington in my view fails to address these causes, but focuses on controlling business rather than the culprit enabler of the state.  Contrary to the arguments of Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and friends and foes alike, the antidote to our problems in finance and our economy in general will not come from Big Government but from Big Individual.

Why doesn't Washington work FOR Americans?

Who will deliver us from despotic rule by large greedy banks, investment companies, and hedge funds?

Where is the American president that really works for the people?
