If the Supreme Court declared the Federal Reserve to be unconstitional, would that wipe out most of the national debt?

We had a discussion about this last week but apparently someone didn't care for the topic. What is your latest thinking on this.

It would save a bunch
The treasury prints the money and sell it to the fed at less than 2 cents per dollar bill. Whether it is a 1dollar bill, a 10 dollar bill a 100 dollar bill they pay
less than 2 cents per bill. They then lend the money back to us at full face value and charge us interest on it. So their mark up is incredible high.
Today everything is computerized but it pretty much works the same way.
The amount of money we would save by dumping the Federal Reserve would be so huge there would be no need for an income tax and other taxes could be eliminated as well. This is all basic knowledge of how the fed functions.
Are you kidding me?

Restitution?
Restitution?
If not we should declare it so
The Grace Commission instituted in 1980 by Ronald Reagan found that 100% of all the "income" tax we pay goes to satisfy the interest on the national debt. Google it, it's easy to find.
That coupled with the fact that the Fed IS unconstitutional would lead most Americans to say the hell with the money owed the Fed which is privately owned by a few international banking families.
No, be gone with them!
Lets' support a Constitutional banking system.
Yeah, I'm not so sure about
Yeah, I'm not so sure about this fact. I dunno what the story was in 1980 but the amount of individual income tax revenue is about 50% of the annual revenue for the fed government. The interest cannot be 50% of the fed government budget. It just cannot be possible with all the other spending.
WHAT IF THERE WERE NO
WHAT IF THERE WERE NO HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS? :-)
HAHAHA!!
HAHAHA!!
It would however allow us to charge THEM interest
on any new money, if we didn't just nationalize their assets. They were after all working exclusively with OUR money.
No
No,
It would only eliminate the debt that was to be paid to Federal Reserve System.
The rest of the debt we would have to suit in court not to pay.
We sort of had this same problem when we got rid of the Continental Dollar.
The Continentals argued but agreed, they had to pay all debts in order to have standing in the world and world markets.
right...
we would, if I understand things correctly (big if), have obligations to many others besides the fed.
If Unconstitutional. I don't believe I have to pay a $ more.
They don't have oversight by us. They make 900% profit each dollar they print.
I think we the people will think they owe us.
Maybe a bit of tar and feathers before we kick them out!
President Wilson said when signing it into law,
The Federal Reserve System was established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. The premise used by President Wilson and his financial advisors for the establishment of the Federal Reserve System was to "supplant the dictatorship of the private banking institutions" and "to stabilize the inflexibility of national bank note supplies". The previous system of banking was "feudal" in nature, in which private bankers control communities and could issue their own bank notes. They had little regulations concerning reserve assets and loan policies. Banking was a patch-quilt of institutions scattered across the face of the nation with no central policy.
He said in his papers when he faced death and his maker,
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.
Do research folks. Don't wait for the Old Media.

Any chance of restitution?
Any chance of restitution?
Yes because the debt is invalid.
We simply don't owe it. It was a fraud.
Other countries will not be happy
I would imagine they would want their "money" back.
Only feasible way to pay off the national debt is to...
follow the plan suggested by the guys who made "The Money Masters" and as endorsed by Milton Friedman:
http://www.themoneymaster...
There is another way
the fed buys the paper money at the cost of printing, but coins they buy at face value. A 10 trillion dollar coin made of iron anyone? Irony at it's best.
The Federal Reserve IS unconstitutional
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution states that the legislative enactements of the United States are restricted to a 10 mile square. That 10 mile square is the District of Columbia. Thus, the District of Columbia is a Federal "Enclave". The Constitution under Article 1, Section 10 also describes that "No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts."
Being that all legislative enactements are restricted to that 10 mile square (the Federal Enclave), thus the entire Federal Reserve Act of 1913 DOES NOT APPLY OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. It does NOT apply in the several "States." Especially when you also consider Article 1, Section 10. Believe it or not. What they did, and how they were able to extend the Federal Reserve banking system to extend beyond the District of Columbia was mostly by creating ficticious bills of exchange known as government "Bonds." For example, an automobile company such as Ford could apply for a government Bond, known as an "Industrial bond" and they could put up their "Title" (the Ford "Title" and "Property") as collateral. Then all they had to do was "sign" the bond. The bond would then be placed into the Federal Reserve vaults and registered on their books as an asset - say it was a 100 million dollar bond. They would then print out the number of dollars based upon the amount of the bond. If it were a 100 million dollar bond, then it would be considered a 100 million dollar asset. Thus they would print out 100 million dollars and hand it over to Ford to be paid back with interest. That is why it is such a scam. When Ford pays back the 100 million dollar bond WITH interest, thus they will release the bond back over and hand the bond back over to Ford. You can already see how this was all carved out to be a scam from the beginning. Thus it is the CREDIT of the PEOPLE of the United States whom have financed the entire Federal Reserve all along. When a person goes into a bank (which by the way, is a "Federal Reserve" bank)...ALL banks today are extentions of the Federal Reserve (tis why they issue Federal Reserve Notes). Well, when a person goes into any bank today and applies for a "loan," guess what they do? The person fills out a loan application, that loan application is treated as a "Bond." As a "Bond" it becomes collateral for the loan - such as an "IOU" or "Promise to pay." They then submit it to the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve places it in their vaults and then considers it an asset. They then print the money and supply it to the bank. Let's say it's a $25,000.00 automobile loan. After the Fed prints out and supplies the bank with the $25,000.00, the bank then hands the $25,000.00 to the person applying for the loan - or at least to the car dealer - and then the person accepting this loan promises to repay the entire loan WITH interest. Thus it was the person whom FINANCED the loan in the first place. We could pull the string on the Fed OVERNIGHT and it would be a done deal.
Mark of www.ronpaulrevolutionTool...
not sure..
But I'm thinkin we need to get back our money from a few folks...
A billion here
A billion there
you just reminded me of...
a Joe Pesci quote from 'Casino':
"I think I want my money back"
hahaha there's more to it than that
Too bad we can't declare bankruptcy
We ( United States) have no money and are forced to borrow from them ( Fed/private banks) whether we like it or not. If we were talking about an individual who borrowed money from a bank then that individual could file for bankruptcy and no longer legally owe the debt. The bank (Fed) on the other hand would find itself still owing whatever debt they had ( hopefully the Federal Reserve Notes they printed and profited from through these years). Just so you all know, I realize it is more complicated than this but I can still hope there is some way out of this mess.
Congress declared bankruptcy on March 9, 1933
The country transformed itself from a Contitutional Republic to an Aristocracy. Please read HJR (House Joint Resolution) 192.
Yes it is unconstitutional.
There is no provision for a paper monetary system in any State or Federal Constitution. In 1981 Mexico declared their debts to the IMF and World Bank to be patently unconstitutional and refused to pay them since the "money" or Special Drawing Rights were of no value anyway. However they made a big mistake and didn't replace the fiat money with their constitutionally mandated gold and silver coin.
The international banking cartels retaliated by dumping pesos on the market, causing hyperinflation, and broke Mexico in 30 days. People trying to cross the border into Mexico were warned not to go in there as the crime rate skyrocketed. Cuban mercenaries and UN soldiers were sent in to sieze the collateral on the loan, the natural resources and the land, and routed the Chiapas and Zapista people from southeast Mexico.
By the way, the U.S. taxpayer, as co-signer on the loan, was responsible for putting up the loan in the first place. When Mexico defaulted the Cartel's collected on the loan again from the U.S. taxpayer. And of course the Cartels seized the Mexican resources and land. The fat cats at the World Bank put up nothing but collected three times from the American and Mexican people. They then put their own people into power (remember President Fox?) to continue collecting export revenue from Mexico.
The moral of the story? Do everything in your power to make sure Ron Paul is the next President of the United States of America. He will get us out of the UN and it's treasury department, the World Bank, and require the gold and silver be redistributed back into circulation as required by the Constitution. In the mean time you can use lawful gold and silver United States of America dollars on your own. Contract in them, cash your paycheck for them, save them, spend them, do whatever you want. It's a win-win situation since inflation is impossible with U.S. dollars as opposed to Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) which the IRS defines as "worthless securities".
As far as wiping out the national debt you have to remember FRNs are borrowed into existence. You cannot pay a debt with a debt. So the so-called national debt was designed to NOT be paid back. The World Bank doesn't want the worthless security FRNs anyway, it wants our natural resources. Remember that 88% of the State of Nevada alone is under BLM/UN control. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Apples and Oranges

The debt is money we owe, such as the trillion to Red China and (probably) billions to Japan. They money must be repaid at some point, since the Chinese and the Japanese are going to forgive debts that enormous.
The FED controls the money supply, fixes interest rates and sets monetary policy. If it were to be declared unconstitutional, the debt would still remain.
As the late David Brinkley once observed, long ago, "This country doesn't even have a quarter." He was right.
Well a lot of the money is owed to china,japan we borrowed it
we should pay them back! This would be debt being repaid! A lot of our financial obligations are to the babyboomers which were the generation that did not hold the people in power accountable and now the ugly beast is coming home to roost !!! We reap what we sow ! ten fold ! It is really to bad the boomers did not hold em to account and now they must pay the piper! hope no one has parents to worry about! no medicaid,no welfare,no
social security contaminated food supplies(monsantos gmi)lack of futures(is a lack of food suppies) Dynocor's chemical cocktails ,so these are just a few of the problems we are aware of there are many many more!
Who is going to pay the real bill(condoning mass genocide all over the world from the American Indians to the people in Iraq,Palestine!I am starting to look at it a new way now,which is let the market correct it self so we can wipe the slate clean and rebuild a new society not built on all lies and deception and muniplulation and willfull ignorance(sheeple)
All I want is all the wrongs to be righted so we can look into the mirror and be proud once again to be an AMERICAN!!!
Read your history - The boomers did do a few things like:
Stop the Vietnam War
Stop the Draft
Stop rampant pollution by corporations
Get Nixon Impeeched
Pass the voting rights act
The fact is the boomers where A HELL OF A LOT MORE POLITICALLY ACTIVE than any generation since!
Actually...
The Vietnam "war" was lost, not stopped.
Thank former Senator Mike Gravel for ending the draft.
Pollution continues...
Nixon was never impeached (he resigned).
The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965, well before the "boomers" (the first of whom turned 18 in 1964) became politically active.
Fact is the "boomers" gave us: weird drugs, "free sex", lots of riots, Disco, Leveraged buyouts (although you could arguably attribute THAT to Visi-Calc), the Greed Generation of the 80's, the Gulf War I, Clintons, and Iraq.
Nothing there to be proud of in my opinion.
Well I hate to inform you
But you are seriously mis-informed! Sounds like you have eaten every morsel of mis-information the MSM has offered you about the 60's.
Yeah, seriously. You're
Yeah, seriously. You're wrong. My parent's generation is probably responsible for more problems than any other generation. I mean they are actually the ones that have been in various forms of power for the past couple of decades. It is in someways the generation of complete irresponsibility. Many great things happened like the space program (which was an amazing endeavor putting aside the governmental component) and artistic outputs, but the people were very irresponsible people.
Sorry, Emerson, I lived it.
Facts are the Boomers didn't "do" any of the things you cited. They are all things that boomers "remember" because they occurred during their childhood, teenage years and early twenties. But the boomers were emphatically NOT "responsible" for any of them. (And if the history books you're reading say they are, well, they're are seriously "revisionist" and warped toward giving credit where it is NOT due.)
Try the following:
The Vietnam "war" was lost, not stopped.
Thank former Senator Mike Gravel for ending the draft.
Pollution continues...(it just got relocated)
Nixon was never impeached (he resigned).
The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965, well before the "boomers" (the first of whom turned 18 in 1964 and 21 in 1967) became politically active (note that voting age in that era was 21).
While you're at it, you may as well say that the "boomers" were responsible for putting men into space or on the moon (as if watching something happen on TV while in your jammies or in your HS or college science class counts as being "responsible" for something).
~snicker~
"disco"
No
You would also have to put a competing currency in place and then get us out of all the other countries we were in. You would also have to reduce spending by cutting other agencies. Then you could start actually paying off that debt.
I know a guy that thinks like that.. ;)
They actually have us kinda screwed...
Getting rid of the Fed would be no easy task. Stopping the military-industrial complex... same thing. Our economy is practically built around these institutions. Major reform would be required... and of course, that reform is very needed.
We have been borrowing from the Federal Reserve for years,
(or should I say, we have been using their printing service for years). Therefore a large part of the debt would be to an entity that if declared to be unconstitutional would forfeit that obligation.
And of course there is always restitution!
No
Debt is debt, constitutional or not.
WRONG
If a thief steals your money by fraud do you still have to pay him?
no
defaulting would but it would destroy the economy
Nothing can be changed...
without a good congress with the mind set of Dr Ron..we need a good house cleaning and put like minded folks in to educate the public and follow the leader..(meaning Dr Ron)...we need some folks running BADLY...
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master... George Washington
