If the Fed Govt crashes, so does the stock market and everyone's 401K and stock is in the toilet. Banks are up for grabs and so is National Security. Our soldiers overseas won't know what to do and neither will the rest of the world know what to do with us while we sort the mess out.
I agree that on a day to day basis the Fed is seemingly irrelevant -- at least until it isn't there.
I'm a Constitutionalist and am all for reducing the Fed, but bringing it crashing down to nothing with a pile of rubble in its place is something else all together.
And despite realizing the potential consequences, I still support Major Cook. Because to accept a level of potential corruption in our government that could be so pervasive that it even potentially covers the ineligibility of a US President and persecutes anyone who demands proof of his eligibility, is beyond all reason to anyone who loves this country, which I do!
See, that's the thing - I don't think it would be "rubble" if Obama were proven to be unqualified. We'd handle it, as I see it, just like Honduras handled constitutional lawlessness by their own chief executive. He'd be removed from office, preferably under his own power, then Joe Biden would assume the presidency. The question of whether Biden was legitimately elected due to Obama's lack of qualification is, as I see it, irrelevant to the constitutional succession.
Following that, there'd be the difficulty of unspooling everything else, and it would indeed be difficult, but it wouldn't leave Congressmen wandering aimlessly on the Mall.
This will not crash the Constitution, and in fact, will strengthen it and probably provide a wholesale housecleaning of Congress, which, quite honestly, is exactly what the country needs. This Congress is breathtakingly corrupt, and most of them need to go.
So we can all agree then that bringing it down to say 20% or so without the pile of rubble is a worthy objective./wink
