CAC1001 said:The Fed doesn't per se "print money," it depends. Monetary policy is not that simple. And the Fed is audited and the Fed banks are audited.
the fed isn't audited as was clearly deminstrated this past year when they finally had a partial audit. The fed is in charge of monitary control, and they do give out money, and to people they secretly choose. I don't think anyone in america would have publicly choosen to give mony to Libya...
The U.S. military needs bases to operate out of in order to project power to protect the national security. And those Germans and Japanese would miss the American bases if they closed because they stimulate their local economies.
We can opperate out of our own bases in the US. We can still cruze our shipps to ports that except us as we do right now, and work with willing allies. our bases in Japan are being closed and moved to Guam(a US territory) now. We can still maintain our projected power without occupying foriegn nations. Please tell me why we couldn't do it with our bomber fleet and Naval fleet? Yes they'll miss the revinue in those countries once its gone, but are we saposed to be proping up other peoples economies or should we focus on our own?
