    The creation of the Federal Reserve was probably the biggest mistake in this Country's history... and I mean that literally, not as a figure of speech.

    If you don't know the dangers of the Federal Reserve and the way that EVERY dollar is LOANED to America (with interest).... you need to do some research.

    With a "central bank", it is INEVITABLE for our currency to collapse and our economy to implode. TIME is the only factor.

    The first centralized bank, the First Bank of the United States was proposed by Alexander Hamilton, supported by President Washington and passed in the first Congress.

    There were some founders that didn't support a centralized bank and there were founders that did. "A lot (it is two words not one)" was apparently not a majority since the bill passed and the bank was chartered in 1791. So yes, those that did not support the bank lost, the "battle" ended 200 years ago.

    Here in the US the last president to campaign on shutting down the central banks was Democratic Republican Andrew Jackson. Not sure why the Republcians dropped the Democratic word.

    You're confusing the founding fathers with people of a younger generation.

    The men who proposed a central bank, just as much founding fathers as those who opposed it.

    You fight a war, you have to figure out a way to pay for it.

    The founding fathers have been dead for over 200 years.

    The Fed was created in 1907.
