In his essay, Who owns and controls the Federal Reserve, Dr. Edward Flaherty discusses the ownership of the Federal Reserve and whether it REALLY IS controlled by foreigners. Flaherty also talks about the amount of freedom given by the Fed and talks a little more about its history. This interview therefore provides another perspective on the issue of the Federal Reserve System. I know that I can trust this source because Dr. Flaherty has been certified in the field of economics and therefore has a strong opinion for it. Based on this information, the essay discusses the rights and responsibilities of the foreigners and owners of the Federal Reserve, so it relates to this years topic of Rights and Responsibilities.

The Cato Institute is a high supporter of the American dream, that freedom and independence is what dominates the foundations of life and what makes a people great. The publication they created, Fixing the Federal Reserve, is a basic argument for the Feds wrongdoings in the economy and for America. They say in the publication that the Fed will always make these types of mistakes if they continue their actions in the markets, and that the only way to truly stop the Fed is to simply explain to them that theyre wrong. We used this publication as an example of the many people in America who opposed and did not like the Federal Reserves transactions.

We thought that his insight would be a HUGE addition, what with him being the former chairman of the Fed.

"The American Dream." Top Documentary Films RSS. Web. 08 Feb. 2014.
The American Dream is an epic short film that was designed specifically for the American people. An American citizen named Pile is introduced in the story, and his life goes along quite normally until the Federal Reserve Bank steps in and gives him a new house. This film is a strong patriotic argument for American citizens to stand against the Fed, and work to fight them. Therefore, the documentary is in exact guidelines with our websites argument because we both share similar ideas that the Federal Reserve is completely invasive on our rights and our responsibilities. The American Dream is a basic foundation for us and is what we as a group build upon for our website.

interpretations are thus based not off of their own thoughts, but of previous analyses they found from various networks and sources all over the world. The Market Oracles webpage, When Will U.S. Interest Rates Rise? was mainly written to describe the growth of the inflation rates in the 1980s since that was the time in which the Federal Reserve experienced a lot of rough adjustments. We used the Market Oracles graphs for helping us describe how the Federal Reserve adjusted their system during the 1970s to the 1980s.
