Lincoln got it right. People need banks. The choices are U.S. Money vs. Corporate Currency. If all banks are corporately owned, like they are now, bankers can create currency out-of-nothing for your home mortgage and charge interest on it. Private bankers get the money monopoly. If you don’t pay them back with interest they own your house even though they created the currency out-of-nothing.

Under the “American System” which Lincoln promoted, the national bank would be the bank and elected officers would be accountable to the people. The people would be in control of their own money. That’s the way it worked before the Federal Reserve conspiracy usurped the constitution.

Abraham Lincoln,
“My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance. I am in favor of a national bank. I am in favor of the internal improvement system, and a high protective tariff.”

By Matthew Ehret Not that long ago the United States came close to total dissolution. The financial system was bankrupt, speculation had run amok, and all infrastructure had fallen into disarray over the course of 30 years of unbroken free trade. To make matters worse, the nation was on the verge of a civil war and international financiers in London and Wall Street gloated over the immanent destruction of the first nation on earth to be established not upon hereditary institutions, but rather on the consent of the governed and mandated to serve the general welfare.
