Kucinich: End the Fed & Create Full Employment
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Kucinich-End-the-Fed--Cr-by-Josh-Mitteldorf-110604-927.html

On Tuesday, Dennis KUCINICH told the simple, unvarnished truth behind the debt ceiling charade. The debt crisis is a creation of the neocons who want to "drown government in a bathtub". (What they want to drown is medicare and social security, not corporate welfare or the military.)

Here's the text of Kucinich's speech:

Why are we in debt? We borrow trillions for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, trillions for tax cuts for the rich. We borrow billions from China and Japan.

We have plenty of money for war, Wall Street, and welfare for the wealthy; but when millions of honest Americans need jobs, need wage increases, need health care, need education, need retirement security, they're told no, we don't have the money.

4. Congress is more accountable than a private banking cartel.
Why should we be forced to pay interest to private banks for issuing debt in our own sovereign currency?
