There were financial panics and depressions throughout the 19th. Century.

Would keeping a central bank have prevented them all? That’s what the propaganda supporting the Federal Reserve Act would have you believe.

The history major in me doesn’t quite buy it.

The one thing it *WOULD* prevent: The runaway\unconstitutional spending we have going on SINCE the institution of the F.R.; let alone the 98%+- depreciation in the true value of the FRN in the century of its creation (where a *single* head of household can no longer: buy a house, buy car, save for retirement, save for college, raise family\children, etc.).
