So you can refer to a Supreme Court decision saying the Federal reserve is unconstitutional?
Whom is the "Federal Reserve" ?
Do you really need an explanation of the Federal reserve system? Wikipedia can probably help if so.

[The fed doesn't really earn direct profits I mean they hold almost $4 trillion in worthless assets, it's more or less a tool to favor big banks.
US citizens taxes can never pay off the interest on the Eternal Debt.
.
All debt can be easily wiped out by a short period of very intense inflation.

Nice Dodge. You won't answer that question, because it leads in the wrong direction.
Its not a "Federal" System, Its a Central Banking System, direct Control of the Nations Currency by Private Banks.
The worst of all possible conditions the Founding Fathers warned against.

Did you know that a one penny tax on each WallStreet transaction would be enough to erase the debt?
Wall Street won't allow it, they designed the system to fail on purpose so they could get all the gold, 'Wipe the Slate' , start over and issue new currency.

Governments know this, that's why they keep borrowing more and more money.
Debt is never a problem.
As long as the debt is all in "fiat money" and not in the form of obligations involving "real assets", debt can easily be eliminated by the will of the people.
In other words, if I owe you 10 cows, with a promise to pay you back this debt in 20 years from now, that's a problematic debt. But, if I only owe you the Dollar Value of 10 cows, then 20 years from now, I'll easily pay the coin back, by selling just one of my cows.

You cant question the money men I’m afraid. They know every trick in the book to swindle you.
The same goes for law makers, why do you think they make their legal agreements so convoluted? Why people say you should always read the small print? Yet there’s usually reams of it written in such a way as to utterly confuse the ordinary person..
My best advice to you would be to learn to work the system as best you can to your own advantage. After all that’s what everyone else is trying to do.
The federal reserve gets its powers from an act of Congress.
The money isn't given to the Government, however, it goes into the exchanges pockets, making the members of the exchange richer.

The Congress is sworn to uphold the constitution, not violate it.
Go on with your bad self.

Yes it is a problem because most credit is used in consumption people buying cars or houses or TVs which depreciate over time. That means the product purchased loses value over time while the credit instrument is serviced.

Again the Federal Reserve does not violate the constitution.

I disagree because as I said credit is fully fungible with savings, we use currency not money. Currency is mandated by governments via legal tender laws.

Currency is just money being used as money. Not really sure what you consider the difference in this context.
