Actually, I'd really like to see the Federal Reserve face its worst nightmare...It's been nothing but a nightmare for the US & all other countries it's ever dealt with since the day it was formed. The Federal Reserve is not Constitutional, therefore it's also illegal for it to exist, because the Constitution doesn't give any governmental body the right to legislate anything in direct opposition to itself. Following that fact, it also shows that the Federal Reserve is nothing more than than the biggest *counterfeiting & money laundering* organization in the world today. It is the *duty* of Congress to see to the punishment of conterfieters...So what's taking them so long to disband the Federal Reserve?
I agree 100% here on this issue. If JFK had not been shot the powerbrokers inside the Beltway would have had a fit. To me , returning back to the gold standard at this late stage of the game would give the UK a little run for their euros as far a de-valuation goes. As far as the Federal Reserve, they should have been forced to disband years ago by the American people but back then, they all bought into the fact that the Fed. was a branch of the govt. which we all know now is false. Maybe JFK was able to see the light and the people who were pulling the strings behind the scenes decided to pull his just a little tighter.
I just wish JFK would've had the time to disband it before he got shot...He would've returned us to the gold-standard & put the "coining" of money back into the hands of Congress, where the Constitution tells us that it should've stayed in the first place.
To be honest, the last two presidential orders Kennedy signed was exactly that. He did take us back to a gold standatd, and he did disbanned the CIA. The first two presidential orders LBJ reversed were Kennedys last two orders. Its probably the real reason he was murdered.

I guess, unknowing to some of you, the Euro is on a 14+ month slide against/versus the Dollar and the Dollar has been making gains on Asian currency, as well?

We have a massive and growing debt on top of that, and the price of oil and the shipment of domestic jobs overseas haven't really helped.

Growing? Really?
How does a reduction from US$412 billion deficit in 2004 to a US$333 billion deficit in 2005, and projected to further decline to US$162 billion deficit by 2008, equate to "growing"?
Bush well on way to meeting deficit promise

Let me guess here, trust has something to do with the deficit?
Is Bush the government accountant now, too?
I mean geez, he seems to be anything and everything else these days...
Economic Report
The Economic Report of the President is an annual report written by the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors. It overviews the nation's economic progress using text and extensive data appendices. The Economic Report of the President is transmitted to Congress no later than ten days after the submission of the Budget of the United States Government. Supplementary reports can be issued to the Congress which contain additional and/or revised recommendations
Ben S. Bernanke was sworn-in on June 21, 2005 as Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Prior to his appointment to the Council, Dr. Bernanke served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
(...)
Before becoming a member of the Board, Dr. Bernanke was the Howard Harrison and Gabrielle Snyder Beck Professor of Economics and Public Affairs and Chair of the Economics Department at Princeton University (1996-2002). Dr. Bernanke had served as a Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton since 1985.
Wiki
Ben S. Bernanke (born December 13, 1953) is Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. He was previously a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
He was born in Augusta, Georgia and graduated from Harvard University in 1975. He has given several important lectures at the London School of Economics on monetary theory and monetary policy. For these, and for his generally-acknowledged expertise in the field, he is the odds-on favorite to replace Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Fed when Greenspan retires from that position in January 2006.

Interesting psychological changes take place maybe, when people take on positions of authority?

Interesting observation AdamJ.
I read some of the mods comments lately and I asked myself that same question.
Maybe we should make a thread of it and dissect mods alittle?
Cheers.
