So you want to have it both ways.

No I don't. I just want the facts.

The Fed was created in 1913 to avert wild swings.

Yes, that was the idea.

So in your mind when there is a wild swing it's the boogieman of the Gold Standard, or Nixon, or Obama, or Bush. But during the good times, it's all the Fed. lol

Nope. LOL!

So the Fed was created in 1913 but had no effect on anything?

Who said that? Link?

Why create it the first place then? Why keep it if it's not doing anything?

I wasn't alive in 1913, you're asking the wrong person.

The Fed was created in 1913.

But it had nothing to do with the Great Depression?

You should read some Milton Friedman (it might cure your ignorance).

Yes, that was the idea.

Why didn't it work? Since it hasn't worked why should we continue to be their slaves?

See, you can't defend it. Let's get rid of it since there is no excuse for it.

I'm a conservative, not a libertarian.
