Over the years, there has been much debate as to whether or not the Federal Reserve is benificial to the American people or not. In my opinion, the Federal Reseve is not an asset, but a burden. The Fed is disliked and considered unconstitutional and invasive. They work closer with private interest rather than public interests, and everybody knows that working with the public is better than working without the public.
The Fed has the power to create and destroy money, which is pretty cool in fantasy, but in reality, it's not so cool. There's a statement that's well states, "what do we think when we hear the words "lies", "fraud", or "con"? Correct! The Federal Reserve!" (marketoracle.co.uk) -brutal, but it's actually what many people think these days, and especially way back in the 20's when the Fed contributed to the Great Depression!
The Fed; had the monetary policy to improve the economy (stabilize it) but people borrowed more money than was in circulation. When the Fed heard about this, they raised the interest rates aggressively in 1928, and as a result of this, trouble hit the banking system-and the Fed was unsure of what to do...so they literally did nothing!!! In the end; the Great Depression happened.
In the end, the Federal Reserve isn't an asset but a burden. They can pretty much do whatever they want with raising and lowering certain things. They made a contribution to the tragic Great Depression. Overall, I see in no way how the Fed is a good thing.
As I write my final sentences that I will ever write for a blog assignment; and after writing 16 blogs, I have to say I'll actually miss my blog and writing for it.
Lincoln was educational/interesting, those annoying commercials will be back, an Electoral College isn't actually a College, and the Fed is a burden...
See yah later blog; it's been real!
