Maybe longer than that. The Federal Reserve Bank, a non-governmental institution that sets our monetary policy, was created in 1913. That being the case I have to wonder why we even have a Sec. of the Treasury.
Yes, the war on the Constitution began almost before the ink was dry on the last signature. The process hit high gear under Woodrow Wilson who blessed us with the Federal Reserve (which is not federal and has no reserves but prints fiat “money” almost without limit), the INCOME TAX (which was necessary to vacuum the excess paper “money” and credit from the system lest the proles catch on to the scam) and the League of Nations (precursor to the equally worthless UN).
Wilson was a COLLEGE PROFESSOR. Nearly ALL of Obamessiah’s crew are also ACADEMICS or political hacks with little or no REAL WORLD, FREE MARKET economic experience.
To steal a phrase from Captain Sully “BRACE FOR IMPACT!”
