Bait and Switch TV: Investigative Satire
[STANION STUDIOS] Presents Part 1 of 8 segments in the controversial saga of the Federal Reserve Banking system. Firmly rooted at the center of the current financial crisis, the Federal Reserve holds the purse strings for the USA monetary system. So it is hardly conspiracy theory to wonder about why this private and mega-powerful "federal" reserve system has been so controversial since its inception, why President Jackson was so opposed to a cartel as our central bank, what are the Fed's actual factual successes and failures over the last 100 years, and how does currency, and control of that currency, determine the balance of power in a nation, and the world.
Bait and Switch TV makes the financial collapse fun, and easy enough for a child to understand. But fun bedtime stories aside, we also propose real, obtainable, non-extreme alternatives to Federal Reserve Banking in this BSTV episode, including an in-depth look at the promising prospects of public, state-owned banks. Public banking can circumvent the federal reserve system without upsetting necessary capitalist apple carts, like the credit system, essential to a healthy and innovating economy.
