Ep. 224 - The Truth About the Federal Reserve - A Primer

In this episode, we examine a Fed-less society - one without the Federal Reserve. In a sane, Fed-less world, we would NOT have the monopolistic market manipulation of interest rates. We would NOT have perpetual quantitative easing, the monetization of the debt and the inflationary willy-nilly digital printing of dollars. We would NOT have the endless booms and busts and there would be no bailouts!
Share this episode with family and friends who do not understand the destructive force the federal government is generally and the Federal Reserve specifically.

Ep. 219 - The Truth About Ben Bernanke, the Nobel Prize and the Federal Reserve

Once I stopped laughing after hearing that Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, I immediately began connecting dots and exploring the lessons we can all learn from this occasion.
Warning: It is NOT pretty!

Ep. 28 - The Truth About the Federal Reserve - The Results

In the previous episode, #27 The Truth About the Federal Reserve – An Introduction, I laid the groundwork for this episode. So now that you know what the Fed is, why it was created and how it creates money, let’s look at the results of the last 100+ years since this monstrosity was created.
We will discuss the constitutionality of the Fed, how it creates inflation, its impact on savers and people on fixed incomes, malinvestment, bailouts, how it funds the welfare and warfare state, the gold standard, and I conclude the episode with a side-by-side comparison of the current monetary system dominated by the Fed with one without it.

Ep. 27 - The Truth About the Federal Reserve - An Intro

I read and hear a lot about how bad the Federal Reserve is for America. The cries for “Audit the Fed” continue to grow louder. Inherently I understand that government intervention always causes market distortions but trying to explain how the Federal Reserve detrimentally impacts the economy at a level that the average person can understand has proved daunting. But I am going to give it a shot in this episode and the next one.
In this episode I am going to introduce you to the Federal Reserve – explain what it is, why and how it was created and explain how it creates money.
Episode #28 will be spent looking at the Fed's record over the 100+ years of its existence and argue why it should be abolished.
