GREENSPAN ADMITS FEDERAL RESERVE IS TOO POWERFUL _____________________________________________________
Washington, D.C. - During testimony today before the House Financial Services Committee, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan dropped a bombshell on the Congress and the United States. The Federal Reserve is too powerful. In response to a question from Texas Congressman Ron Paul (r) relating to the Fed's authority, Mr. Greenspan said, "We (The United States) have statutorily gone onto a fiat money standard and as a consequence of that, it is inevitable that the authority, which is the producer of the money supply, will have inordinate power." Fiat money (our US money) is money with no backing, money that is not redeemable for gold, silver or any other commodity. The term 'inordinate' is defined as 'exceeding reasonable limits' or 'disorderly.' Mr. Greenspan then went on to explain that the Federal Reserve's power simply results from Congress avoiding their Constitutional duty to 'coin' money. Greenspan said, "We (the Fed) don't have any capability whatsoever to do anything without the agreement or even the acquiescence of the Congress of the United States." Congressman Paul agreed with this assessment. The entire text of Congressman Paul's exchange with Mr. Greenspan can be read online here: http://www.reasons2vote.com/paulgreenspan.html

* My sincere thanks to those who have prayed for the success of our efforts and contributed to my defense fund. Your continued financial support is enabling me to illustrate, in detail and in a very public manner, that the IRS does not prevail against citizens because the agency adheres to the rule of law, but that the IRS prevails against citizens because the agency ignores the law and overwhelms the citizen with economic and legal burdens. In a school yard, such tactics are called "BULLYING". In a government setting, such tactics are called TYRANNY. This effort is the equivalent of ganging up on the bully and sending him to reform school where he belongs.
