Would you sell for cash?

The Fed is not our country. The Fed is not our government. The Fed is a privately held central bank, and belongs to the BIS, the central bank of central banks, based in Basel. Not even based in the US. These are all easily verifiable facts. Maybe one of you geniuses can explain how criticizing a privately held foreign based institution is "tearing down our country"?

The Fed through monetary inflation steals from everyone. If you knew that a privately held institution was stealing from every single American what would be the patriotic thing to do? Expose it? Or cover for it?

At the very least, if you even want to pretend to care about your country the very least you should be willing to do is check a few things out. Not a one of you has pointed out one false fact in any of what we have said. So what, are you in on it? So why carry on like a bunch of Fed shills then?

The Fed is indeed as described. But the system is what it is. 5 hours away is nothing really. If the dude has an employee in your town that he would pick up the amp from, he could do the same with you. Or, meet halfway. No need to complicate things.

Should not be a problem.

I have friends that purchase like that on a regular basis.

Treasury raises money by issuing Treasury Notes/Bonds at regular intervals. These are bought by investment banks and superannuation funds etc ("the public"). International outfits are also quite keen on buying T-Notes/T-Bonds.

The US government/Congress uses this money to pay for things when tax receipts are insufficient. I think that there was a brief period during the Clinton administration when there was a government budget surplus, but not since.

This is called fiscal policy. and currently Janet Yellen is the boss at Treasury.

So far, all this has been done quite independently from the Fed, although the Fed does buy T-Notes from the public for a variety of reasons.

This is called quantitative easing, as a part of monetary policy where Jerome Powell is boss. This is independent of government/Yellen control.

The Fed and the Treasury are not allowed to transact directly with each other in the buying and selling of T-Bonds and T-Notes with each other, although the Fed, as the central bank, may have some operational duties.
