The FED is a non-private, non-government &quot;entity&quot; which propagates the deflation of the value of our currency, regardless of the inflation of productivity.  Under a government-controlled money system outlined by Stephen Zerlanga&#039;s American Monetary Act (http://www.monetary.org/American_Monetary_Act_version_10_feb_06.htm) the money (and therefore inflation) would be controlled by an ACTUAL government agency, subject to transparency under the freedom of information act.

It is my belief that with the intelligent management of all of the Earth&#039;s resources, and the removal of money and any monetary system, is mandatory in order to succeed as a global human race, at the rate of population expansion, technological innovation, and rapid degradation of the environment in the last century.
