I'm curious what everyone thinks about Representative Jim Kolbe's proposal, "Currency Overhaul for an Industrious Nation (COIN) Act? Part of his proposal would transfer the administration of the U.S. Mint to the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System. Thoughts anyone?

I saw this article today in " Coin World". Oh, I agree that the Federal Reserve certainly causes a lot of problems. I just haven't seen the pros and cons to come to any conclusions or to form a basis for an opinion. Ok, now I have one "con". There's something in my intuition that tells me this is not good though. Others? Gary too? ;-) Thanks Terry, I knew that you would chime in on this one. |

Best thing we could do is keep the Federal Reserve out of anything to do with making money--They already control to much of what happens with money as it is--Like raising interest rates? No thanks, they already muddle up enough stuff, the last thing we should do is let them get within 100 yards of "where the money is actually made"--The fact that they are not even "elected" give me the wibijibbies--I can't fire them nor can I remove them--but yet look at all the power they have--That politician(s) should get a life--they have already messed up enof as it is grrrr  What they should concentrate on is: Quit spending our money on all your pork!! and get that dam deficit eliminated so our kids won't have to pay for their parents cr?p of today tommorrow!!! The bridge to no where, the big dig--the list is endless--the study of pucker fish, an endowment to find out why bees fly & fish swim--give me a break!! CiScO |

CIScO: What's the comment "Quit spending our money on all your pork!!" mean? Are you talking about the pigs(politicians) in office?

I think he means huge projects that we the taxpayers don't have any say in and for the most part NEED! Nothing to do with pigs at all just a term used quite frequently by politicians, especially during election years and activists who fight, so they claim, for the American taxpayer. Wonder who pays the activists? Also, through the years, I have found it amazing so many people could turn out on any given day for a protest (for free media advertising as the media wouldn't miss a good ole staged protest)regardless of what notion they were protesting. I thought to myself, "Don't these people have a job!" And then I found out MOST of them were on the job as they are PAID protestors! And the sad part is the whole stinking thing works! The media jumps on board and eventually a congressman or two and the next thing we know Congress has passed a bill to spend a few hundred thousand dollars for research on why kids fall off of tricycles!!! This would be pork in my eyes!!! And it really did happen a few years back and guess what, KIDS are still falling off of things everyday so its a darn good thing we taxpayers continue to fund such genius!!!

I don't think its "taxpayers continue to find such genius" but we don't have a choice because that's all there is in office or running for office is "genius" or idiots in my world.

Let's give "The People" an actual choice this time--whatever you want. The federal reserve is the most criminal organisation on this planet. A dollar today couldn't buy what a cent did in 1913 when these pig-bags showed up. |

The US Mint is the custodian for much of the USA gold reserves (Ft. Knox, Denver Mint, West Point). The Federal Reserve is a corporate-owned entity. Is this an underhanded way to fork over the nation's gold reserves to corporate interests ?
I don't like the sound of it.
