    Yep, the Fed was a creation of Congress, so Congress can get rid of it. It would cause a major uproar in the financial markets and may not be possible in just one term since something would have to be created to replace it. If the U.S. backed the Dollar with a basket of commodities like BRICS is proposing, the Federal Reserve would be redundant and the Dollar would be naturally stronger. I read one history of the creation of the Federal Reserve and the "Jekyll Island Conspiracy" that said the Fed was patterned after the Deutschebank of the late 19th century and was expected to last a century before collapsing, but was to create a huge number of millionaires during its lifetime. If that is true, it has already outlived expectations by more than a decade.

    Ron Paul's goal has always been to TOTALLY audit the fed and not put up with their BS saying it is done. Trump was thinking of bringing Dr Paul on board to do what is necessary. He's been around Congress.

    I'm watching men's college football. Seems the female announcers are fine with our toxic dollars.

    I'm not. The rest of the world stands in line to do it legally. No one should be rewarded for invading that way. Everything about this issue is a big fat lie.

    Arizona was just called for Trump (Nov 9th at 9:12PM). He swept all 7 battleground states. His total Electoral College vote count stands at 312.

    Now if they'd quit diddling around with the congressional counts. :rolleyes: I just know they are trying to figure out how to steal the House majority.

    Exactly. I think many of us took our eye off of the ball when the Presidential results were called, although the folks on the front line have been monitoring things.

    Arizona, in particular. Their Secretary of State is a real snake in the grass.

    I see that Lake lost. Sorry, but I don't care about that. I hope she will have the good grace to just accept it this time.

    They are doing that. They want to stop Trump at all costs regardless of the cost to the country.

    The amount of energy and money to expel them may not be worth it. They should be banned form ever voting and receive no benefits ever. Legal folks would be eligible for green cards, eventual citizenship, and benefits. Illegals would be forever banned from that unless they left the country and got in line.

    I’m not sure but during the last Trump Presidency, wasn’t there a lock down of sorts to keep monies from being sent from the U.S. to anywhere in S. America?
    Maybe it was just suggested?
    The idea was to make sure illegals living in the U.S. couldn’t help finance family members, friends etc for their journey to the U.S.
