Wouldn't it make sense to teach us about finance and money? Those items are perfect high school level subjects. It is obviously just a big coincidence that no public school in the nation has ever taught these subjects; I'm sure it is just a big oversight, although there are grass root organizations in about 35 states attempting to change that; darn if it just continues to not be important enough for school districts to consider those subjects worthy of our knowledge. I guess learning how to work a condom is much more relevant.

The banks opposition to the introduction of the FDIC that the article mentioned; the opposition from decent banks to the FDIC when it was conceived. The main reason for that opposition was the fear that the big bankers would use it to cover their bets on the international market. There was a time when Americans understood better than to risk their money on banks that were heavy into stock market speculation. The FDIC was a tool to coax Americans Savings and Loans into the Wall Street market. It mostly worked and all our small banks have long been bought up by the Wall Street market. Remember, this was a federal deposit insurance corporation; not a local deposit ins. corp. What made it federal? It isn't public sector but nor is the Federal Reserve. The FDIC is a tool of Wall Street international bankers, it was spawned by the Federal Reserve money creation process and it was introduced as more leverage for the big banks against the small banks. Try to remember that the Federal bank was not renewed in 1837 and all our banking was returned to state level.... it was a long struggle by Wall Street fronts for European central bankers to regain control of our money and banking; which they did through the Federal Reserve system. The FDIC was icing on the cake to streamline their operations. Look at all those "national bank of" (insert your local city) type banks; what makes any of them "national"? These are banks tied to Wall Street's dominance through the anti-Constitution central banking system. They control the whole nation, our governments, and our public education.

Our Constitution gave us hard currency; gold and silver coin, and the equivalent in certificates. That's the money of the Republic. European central bankers brought over their bond currency; fiat paper money that illegal in America. No Constitutional Amendment exists changing our money to the Federal Reserve money. It is a criminal cabal, plain and simple. Hence, the need to keep Americans stupid as goats when it concerns money education.
