A Libertarian was head of the Federal Reserve

Reminder that a libertarian was head of the Federal Reserve for 20 years.

He spent that time brrrr printing money and bailing out his friends.

The Fed is a private bank so if he wants to print monopoly money and someone will accept it for goods and services, thats just the free market at work.

>The Fed is a private bank
That's a fine argument and one I'm partially in agreement with.

However whenever there's a massive recession and/or depression lolbertarians are quick to use the federal reserve as a scapegoat. You can't have your scapegoat and eat it too.

Yep, he was a sellout and a lesson in the dangers of "compromising" on principle to get access to the levers of power.

So many brrrrrr printers call themselves libertarians

The fed may be a "private" bank, but the U.S. government does not allow other private entities to print money and use them freely.

Other private banks don't have a monopoly afforded to them by the U.S. government.

Stop the crap, right now! The FED is a gov agency. The governor as well as the whole administration is chosen by the USA

wrong

Libertarian ideology and that Rand bitch are Jewish

Jews just use all this ideology to confuse everyone.

>libertarian
>central bank
no

This.

Lolbertarians are Zionists.

HERBED AND SPICED. Go away.

Libertarian tenants:
Individualism for the goyim.
Collectivism for the Jew.

he didn't do a single libertarian thing while holding that position, either. in fact by merely existing, he brought more people than ever to libertarianism, because murray rothbard and lew rockwell (and others) were so fantastic at cutting him to pieces.

>Let's be like bug people jews and chinks
no

>the thing the jews hate the most is jewish
stunning intellectual feat

>The fed may be a "private" bank, but the U.S. government does not allow other private entities to print money and use them freely.
Any time a bank issues a loan they create money. Loans are not settled with cash money. If you take out a mortgage the bank doesn't give you cash. The bank only keeps enough cash on hand in case people want to withdraw their money at the same time.

Instead the bank's balance sheet changes to reflect the new debt/credit that's being created.

The federal reserve (which is also a bank) creates money in much the same way, by issuing loans which must be repaid by the federal government.

Again I might be oversimplifying a few things here. The point is ALL banks lend out money they don't have cash deposits to cover. The act of lending money "creates" new "money". That's what people mean when they say our monetary system is debt based.

take off the memeflag you faggot

Greenspan is not a libertarian. Rand is also not a libertarian. Your arguments are like saying "Obama was in the oval office for 8 years, checkmate Marxists".

>when lolbertarians see an invading army they say we must all act as individuals and not as a unit

why? retarded faggot

> (OP)
>Libertarian tenants:

tenants

Are you ten?

The board is appointed by the administration but the shares of the Fed are held by corporations (member banks).

>Rand is also not a libertarian.

Ayn Rand is more similar to any libertarian in terms of her ideas than any 2 libertarians are to each other.

Other private banks can perform fractional reserve lending, which is a similar means of creating capital from thin air, albeit previously with more restrictions. Reserve requirements are gone now

Bro, that's a jew.

Proof libertarians are just a bunch of scam artists

He ran the Federal Reserve like the private company that he knew it was.
