The real criminals are in congress.

They have always been (for the past 100 years, anyway) so dumb they would sell your kid to science for a freshly printed $1 from a crooked banker.
Congressional stupidity is how the private Federal Reserve gets away with printing cash to bankroll the pre-WWII Japanese navy, the lion’s share of Hitler’s war machine, and finally [...]
