Alan, you are a dipshit. I understand the concept of real GDP growth. Which is why I also provided the goddamn per capita numbers. All things being equal (that means the same, if your math and learning challenges extend this far) and GDP being a counting stat, more people equals higher GDP. It's not fucking rocket science, numbskull. Considering the massive population explosion during the pre-Fed years (as a percentage growth statistic), one must contextualize that out. The way big people do this is by looking at per capita stats which normalize for population. And when you do that, the higher raw real GDP growth in the pre-Fed years goes away and turns into a fucking 36% advantage for the post-Fed years. Which is exactly what I said the first time.

Now crawl back in your hole, asswipe.

trillions of “legalized” counterfeit dollars created over night by Fed can buy tens of millions of American people's labors and their properties. Politicians like it since the counterfeit money can keep people hired and make them work like slaves. The existence of Fed is really make the constitutions joke.

Jeff K, you are a moron. Real, rather than nominal, GDP growth is used to factor out the effects of currency devaluation. The data you quoted actually proves the author's point, that the Fed was a drag on real growth and trashed the dollar.

And unless you are actually a recipient of the Fed's freshly printed loot (hint: if you have to guess, you are NOT), then you are cheerleading a mechanism of your own impoverishment. You should be ashamed.

Congress uses the Federal Reserve as a limitless checkbook. They draw much unconstitutional power from it and this is the reason it exists. Having an “independent” and private for profit bank controlling the nation's monetary system is absolutely insane. The federal reserve's limitless money supply has allowed many wars and the killing of millions of people though out the world. I believe it will end, one way or another.
