  • did you really say “regulating banks”?? that’s amusing.. have you EVER heard of “THE CREDIT RIVER CASE”?? It’s the court case where a bank president admits, in court, under oath, that banks create money out of thin air!
    Would you care to show us where within the Constitution it grants the authority anyone but congress the power to coin money/create money? What, no such thing exists in the Constitution??

    Are you this stupid in person?? or are you really this IGNORANT?
