"The Federal Reserve is sustaining US capitalism — directly by loaning to corporations, and indirectly by loaning to the federal government — to run a huge deficit, excess of trillion dollars... The federal government is not an intrusion; the federal government is the only thing that keeps private capitalism from a complete bust... And what do we know about this way that the Federal Reserve is keeping capitalism going? It's funding the most extreme inequality in a century of American history." - Richard Wolff
