Pardon me if you inferred that I was implying that the Fed was the only culprit their are , obviously , many contributing factors . The degree of significant of the factors you listed have varying impacts . Indeed , our onerous tax policy and pointless regulations have had illeffects on economic growth . But certainly the inflationary practices , nonexistent interest rates , fractionalreserve banking , and decrease in dollar value have had a damaging effect on us peons . To ignore this is foolish in my opinion . But lest we forget , the Fed also presided over the worse economic recessions in modern history . <| sep |> Haha wow .
