What is the dumbest federal law regarding the National Debt and for that matter
the entire history of America? The Federal Reserve Act is without question in
my mind. Why? Because the government allows the Fed to control the printing of
new money.

Why would that be such a bad thing? I have two words for you. National Debt.
The Vietnam War is still on and there is a one hundred percentage draft despite
the fact that we are at peace. How could this be? It is called refinancing
We are still having to pay for the Vietnam War despite the fact that it is over.
Let me prove my argument. Below are the years of the National Debt from peace
in 1963 to the year 1975 when the troops left.
Let the model assume that year 1863 there was no National Debt. Only the change
from 1963 to 1964 will be used. Assume the only way to pay of the debt is to issue
1 year t-bills. Also assume we do not pay of the debt.

Interest to Treasury note holding countries, so they can use the interest to buy more treasury notes to help finance a government that blows a half a trillion dollars MORE than it takes in from treasury note sales.

Real simple here!!! Tell the Federal Reserve to F.O.!! Last time I checked the Constitution the Federal Reserve was ILLEGAL. Go back to the Gold or Silver standard.
