    Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank

    Since the economy has gotten our attention, I though this would be a good topic to help us all understand a little better how our economic system is structured. Factcheck.org explains it in easy to understand language.

    Is money less important than it used to be?

    They say that Obama outspent Hillary 2-1 or 3-1 in Pennsylvania, and maybe it helped a little, but he still lost. We can't definitively know what would have happened if less money had been spent, but it seems like it doesn't make much difference for high profile candidates. John McCain won the...

    And yes, I have heard Wm. Jennings Bryan's 1896 "cross of gold" speech. In his own words as there is a recording of him reading it at some later time, but not live at the convention. His argument seems to make no real sense to me. Its just an emotional appeal and not really an argument at...

    Odd post about inflation

    http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=242453&threshold=0&commentsort=0&mode=thread&cid=19675295 Hmm. This sounds rather glib to me. I'm not an economist, but this sounds like the kind of thing that might sound ok, but forgets some basics.
