Also, does a source of endless credit and endless printing of money encourage or discourage government spending? And when the gvt spends money it doesn't have by selling debt to a private bank that then prints dollars on that, it increases the debt the gvt owes that bank. Every dollar the central bank prints is another debt we the taxpayers owe to the bank. The central bank makes sure that most political candidates will continue to spend (often by engaging in the most expensive of things; military conflict) and to increase the debt this country owes. And that spending supposedly placates the citizens, who are addicted to it now. The cycle continues, and the debt to the central bank grows. The founders had been through this with the Bank of England (the king's central bank) and its similarly devastating effect on England. That's why they made sure that the constitution placed control of our currency exclusively in congress's hands (and intentionally OUT of the hands of a central bank), so that the people would at least have a bit of a say (via their voting power) in how our monetary supply was managed. But congress sub-contracted that exclusive power to an unelected central bank in 1913. I could go on. Sorry for the rambling!
