Hmmm.
Executive Order 11110
Executive Order 11110 was issued by U.S. President John F. Kennedy on June 4, 1963.
This executive order delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury the president's authority to issue silver certificates under the Thomas Amendment of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended by the Gold Reserve Act. The order allowed the Secretary to issue silver certificates, if any were needed, during the transition period under President Kennedy's plan to eliminate Silver Certificates and use Federal Reserve Notes.

ok smart guys....what would you replace it with?....and before you all start saying "gold standard"....do some research, go back to the 1800's, and see how the various U.S banking systems failed, and come up with something that wasn't tried. a little detail would be nice, since our financial system is massively larger, and more complex than it was back then.

I tend to side with Thomas Jefferson when it comes to central banks.
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Jefferson said in a letter to John Taylor in 1816, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.
Vice-President John Garner when referring to the international bankers, said: “You see, gentlemen, who owns the United States .”
It's time to shut down the Fed it never should have been established in the first place. May Woodrow Wilson burn in hell for enacting the Federal Reserve.

I am always happy to see people speculating on how much better life would be without central banking.
We have a pretty good idea what it was like without central banking.
Anyway, the Federal Reserve System seems to be working so far, so those who want to destroy it need to make a strong case. And they aren't helping themselves with awful dog Latin.
How so?

FED absolutely has to be destroyed
But they will take many billions down with them
Many millions had to die to destroy Hitler and Nazi Germany
FED destruction will take at least a billion

alright....so why then would I loan you 10 dollars in the first place, if I didn't get some type of benefit for doing it?....look I'm not happy with the fed either, but we should leave the anarchy, bloodbaths, and chaos to those middle eastern countries that have loved that type of thing for centuries.

You shouldn't. You should not loan me $10 because it isn't yours to begin with. As a sovereign nation I should be able to print my own money without having to owe anything extra to begin with.
How can I even pay you 11 when only 10 exists? The answer is I would have to pay you something else that has value like my nations land and resources, so the inevitable conclusion is that you eventually own everything. Which amounts to theft. The theft of a nation by international bankers who are not loyal to any nation. This process assists them in creating a one world government. Which doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a bad thing, if the people of tbe world made that decision to unite willingly. But in this scenario it will undoubtedly be a bad thing because we are being forced into it And these corrupt heartless bastards will be in control or it all. They will effectively be the owners of the world after their pyramid scheme reaches its inevitable conclusion.

Hi Jimmyx, Money is lent in the first place to bring forward consumption. IOW it negates the need for us to say save $40K to buy a car or a couple of hundred K to buy a house. It makes that sale possible now instead in the future and that in and of it self is good reason to lend the money, not having to wait for your customer to have enough saved and maybe in the mean time using it on another item they either need or want more (thus you losing the sale altogether). But there's always Shakespeare's take on it " Neither a lender nor borrower be". Arjunanda. a reply to: jimmyx
