Here are a few:
1) On the Federal Reserve's website, it states that it "provides the nation with a safe, flexible, and stable monetary financial system". Since the Fed's inception in 1914, the dollar has lost 95% of its purchasing power. The Federal Reserve failed to prevent the Great Depression, all the boom/bust cycles since then like the S&L scandal in the 80s, the dot.com boom/bust, and caused the real/estate boom we are currently embroiled with. It is clear that it has failed its stated purpose. The people who run the Fed are not stupid, so it begs the question, "What is the true purpose of the Fed?". Since it has failed, clearly we need to rethink our monetary system. Would you support the abolition of the Federal Reserve?
2) The bailout bill has been passed. As a result, we have a new "Office of Financial Stability" to manage the loot extorted from Americans. Isn't financial stability supposed to be the Fed's job? Why did we create yet another bureaucratic department?
3) The US Treasury sent out checks a few months ago to Americans to stimulate the economy. Wouldn't the economy be stimulated if government stopped robbing the citizens in the first place in the form of taxation and inflation? Would you advocate eliminating the IRS and income tax to let Americans decide how to spend their hard earned money?
4) We spend over 1 trillion dollars a year that we cannot afford to maintain our empire across the world. It is clear that our foreign intervention has destabilized other countries and galvanized hatred of us everywhere. Why do we have 67,000 troops in Germany enjoying year round Octoberfest? Wouldn't it be better to convert our military bases into economic points of trade and bring our troops home to defend our borders?
5) Ben Bernanke admitted on air to Congress that "inflation is a tax." Could you explain that to the American people?
There are just so many good questions to ask....
