Message | Central banks are not necessary nor good for a nation. They are an abomination meant to distort an economy for a favored outcome, they feed off a national debt in are typically given the power and control to print money. Printing money can be done by the government without a central bank. - Thomas Barron ERP CHAIRMAN |
