The federal reserve gets its powers from an act of Congress.
The Congress is sworn to uphold the constitution, not violate it.
Go on with your bad self.
Again the Federal Reserve does not violate the constitution.
What Constitution?
Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you genuinely not following the conversation?

You aren't addressing the issues I or others bring, you are covering up.
Now play dumb again...

I made a quite clear statement that the Federal Reserve system doesn't violate the constitution.

Can you provide examples, like an article I can read where the author clearly shows in detail and from case example how it does not violate the constitution?

IMO it doesn't violate the constitution in that congress has the authority to regulate our money as I said defined in Article 1 Section 8, but congress just turned that authority to the banking system and does not 'manage' it, regulate it, or even pay much attention.
Primarily because they don't want to upset their magic 'money' tree, it allows them to deficit spend ad infinitum with the dubious and dangerous idea they can always inflate the debt away. Again, destroying millions of lives and saving in the process.

The federal act was passed a hundred years ago. As Augusts points out if it was unconstitutional there would be a court decision against it. In the absence of one it clear isn't.
The debt doesn't need to get inflated away. You are starting from a false position.

That's trying to prove a negative. For a law that Congress has passed, such as the Federal Reserve Act, to be found unconstitutional it needs to be challenged in the Supreme Court. When was the Federal Reserve Act argued in front of the Supreme Court?

It hasn't been challenged because the only people capable of challenging it profit from it.

How else to you pay for it? Capital formation is debt since artificially keep interest rates low to roll over past debt.

Yes good point and the poster above used your comment to try and strengthen his position. It hasn't been challenged because the only people capable of challenging it profit from it.
they print the money FOR the US Government, which pays them interest.

...but the people with all the real loot in the bank, their money goes up in value every year via "interest".
Interest on the dollars they printed, for pennies on the dollar.
The real criminals and the real loot...

This means that if we would reset the nation’s debt today and would begin reprinting money, we would be in debt to the FED from the very first dollar loaned to our Government.

The only countries left in 2011 without a Central Bank owned or controlled by the elite are:
1.Cuba
2.North Korea
3.Iran
It is not a coincidence that these country's, are under attack by the media....

I suppose he never heard of the Central Bank of Cuba, The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran or The Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
