Include some regulations that put the Fed out of business if it fails to comply. Tax it, regulate it, make some of the things it does illegal. Or better yet. Get rid of it. Back before the Civil War, one of the strongest planks of the Democratic party was opposition to any national bank. Get back on that horse!!"-
3) I think that it is not possible to "get back on that horse."- Modern economy must be regulated. I am neither economist nor political scientist. But articles posted at this website often make me think about the economy, especially this year. I am a retired physics teacher and I believe that trends in the economy can be controlled. I view economy as just another man-made system. Is this acceptable?
Some say that the economy should not be regulated because it regulates itself. Others say that more regulation is necessary. And many think that too much regulation is as bad as too little. All of them miss two important points: Regulators should be (a) honest and (b) highly knowledgeable. The first point is obvious; regulators should control the economy for the benefit of the entire society.
