#38 Overall, the Federal Reserve now holds
more than 32 percent of all 10 year
equivalents, and that percentage is rising by about 0.3 percent each week.
#40 Most of the new money created by
quantitative easing has ended up in the hands of the very wealthy.
#44 Most people have never heard about
this, but a very interesting study conducted for the Bank of
England shows that quantitative easing actually increases the gap between the wealthy
and the poor.
#49 The Federal Reserve system fuels the
growth of government, and the growth of government fuels the growth of the
Federal Reserve system. Since 1970, federal spending has grown nearly 12 times as rapidly
as median household income has.
#55 The Federal Reserve has allowed an absolutely
gigantic derivatives bubble to inflate which could destroy our financial system
at any moment. Right now, four of the “too big to fail” banks each have total
exposure to derivatives that is well in excess of 40 trillion dollars.
#59 The Federal Reserve was created by the big Wall Street banks
and for the benefit of the big Wall Street banks.
#64 The Fed decides what the target rate
of inflation should be, what the target rate of unemployment should be and what
the size of the money supply is going to be. This is quite similar to the “central planning” that goes on in communist
nations, but very few people in our government seem upset by this.
