A bill put forward by Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) would do what libertarians and conservatives have long wished for: effectively end the Federal Reserve.
The National Emergency Employment Defense (NEED) Act of 2011 would place the Federal Reserve, a private, qusai-governmental institution that controls the nation’s monetary policy, under control of the U.S. Treasury. It would also implement new rules for the financial industry, in hopes of ending the worst abuses that created the 2008 financial collapse and the ensuing recession.
Politics does make strange bedfellows. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich? Who would have thunk it? But guess what? They are both right. The FED needs to be strangled, and the power to create money given back to Congress, who unconstitutionally created the FED in the first place.
