I can’t remember the last time I watched the local news. It’s probably been at least two decades – and for good reason. It tends to consist of people repeating information on topics that they have little inherent knowledge of. Take a look at the clip…

Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul recently introduced legislation calling for the federal government to cancel the $1.6 trillion debt held by the Federal Reserve. Such a move creates legal challenges, one of which would be that the Fed would openly acknowledge that it is a private entity and that fedgov has no authority confiscate its assets.
