The amount of insanity coming out of the United States government has reached a new level today. George W. Bush has issued a new executive order establishing a group called the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. The insanity of this executive order is unparalleled. The so called purpose of this Council is to keep this nation economically competitive and encourage the financial literacy of the American people. The government working in conjunction with the Federal Reserve has done everything in their power since the implementation of the Federal Reserve to ensure that the American people know nothing about how our monetary system really works. It is interesting that in light of major financial problems and an increased awareness of the Federal Reserve amongst the American people that we see the formation of such a Council. This group is not going to educate the American people about how the financial system actually works. If they did, they would be forced to admit that the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air that has no value. The establishment is not going to do that. Instead, this group will be used to spread propaganda about the economy, mislead the American people as to what is really creating all of the financial problems and provide phony solutions to these problems. This group may even go as far as saying that we need to replace the U.S. Dollar with a regional currency. The bottom line is that the government has continuously lied about everything, so why should we listen to what this newly formed Council is going to tell us? Not only that, but the government and the Federal Reserve are the ones that really need an educational lesson on monetary policy because they are the ones who have been destroying the economy through this fiat currency. Endless foreign wars and expanding the money supply was what destroyed Rome, and they are doing the exact same thing which if continued will result in our doom.

It's an opinion that your IQ, if squared, would be negative.

The federal reserve's comic books are actually good educational tools.

What? You didn't know the Fed published comic books?

I don't see why you're upset about the comic books.

Bush had to learn economics from somewhere.

Is it possible for states/subsections of states to leave the union? This has been discussed before. In 1861.

Yeah, but I think this time we should let MS, AL, and LA go.

... This group may even go as far as saying that we need to replace the U.S. Dollar with a regional currency....It occurs to me that I have never in over 5 decades of life heard talk of the US trotting out some sort of "regional currency" until Rickson showed up. Only he is pushing the concept. Oh, he tries to hide his intentions by deriding the idea, but he is relentless in his campaign to plant the thought in our minds. One day, when the time is right, he'll start to subtly switch the argument and within weeks we'll all be clamoring for the implementation of the new regional currency.

Diabolical I say.

I think it would be nice if the President and Congress could give me some lessons on how to balance my budget. That would really help me out.

I remember in college the search engines were so sloppily functional that I had to do a report on some aspect of the coal business. I searched for "coal" in a search engine and got porn. I :ht: internet tubes.

To the idea of financial eductaion for the masses, I say: Why not, economics has already been ruined for the masses with a huge propaganda campaign. Let's finish the job, and start over when it finally crashes.

Should that be in red or something (magenta)?
