America's Youth vs. Big Government

6 months ago, someone turned me on to a great video put together on YouTube which explains the fallacy of the Federal Reserve and dangers of inflation perhaps better than any other single source I have come across today. Titled ‘Duck Tales Inflation Lesson,’ the video is a four minute clip taken from an episode of Duck Tales (one of my favorite shows growing up. I totally remember this one) where the ignorant boys stumble upon a device which can duplicate money.

Watch the video here

The Mutiphonic Duplicator is the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is the private (meaning not governmental; meaning owned by private interests) central bank who is solely in charge of setting monetary policy for the United States. They control the interest rates (which are currently about as low as they can go) and currency printing presses. They loan the US Government money (with interest) to fund any spending program or foreign war that our President and Congress desire. This is done simply by entering a number with many zeros into a computer at the Fed which is then transferred to another digital bank account where the funds will then be available for spending. Every time this is done, the currency inflates and every existing dollar drops in value. Through the creation of cheap credit, the Fed has ushered in a century booms and busts (though it was created to prevent such a phenomenon), bank bailouts, and nearly continuous foreign wars.

We all know that our public school system is failing and American’s math and science scores are dropping internationally, but there’s another area of academia which is being neglected at school: the Law of Natural Rights.

Kids these days are never presented with the important study into the foundation of Natural Law and therefore blossom into adults, clueless on what government’s involvement into our lives should be. Instead, they are taught in government classes basic facts about our federal houses (never mentioning their inability to solve any problems, of course), briefly mention the Founding Fathers (without contrasting Madison’s and Hamilton’s ideologies), and discuss some of the larger Supreme Court decisions (such as Roe vs. Wade).  Natural Rights are rarely, if ever, mentioned.  This is a huge concern for the future generations of Americans, as it is only through the understanding of our Natural Rights that we can begin to understand the Founders’ intent when drafting the documents that would create our system of governance.  As the size and obtrusiveness of our government continues to balloon, a lesson in Natural Law is necessary if we are to return sanity and freedom back to America.

What are our Natural Rights?  Where do they come from?  What do they have to do with government?  The answer to these questions should be understood by every American and should be required on the exam to gain citizenship.  Sadly, if Jay Leno’s ‘Jaywalking’ (the segment where he asks people off the street simple questions) is any sort of barometer for the basic knowledge of everyday Americans, I’m sure we’d be let down with their answers to the above questions. Let’s break the cycle of ignorance and solve these problems.
