Is Congress Guilty of Extortion, Fraud......
OR JUST PLAIN TREASON
The correct answer is ALL OF THE ABOVE. United States law is enacted by Congress. Congress is elected, owned and ran by very wealthy people....who are all getting richer from self serving legislation and insider trading.
The United States Code is a compilation of most public laws currently in force, organized by subject matter. When a law has been amended by another law, the U.S. Code reflects this change. The U.S. Code collates the original law with subsequent amendments, and it deletes language that has later been repealed or superseded. There are four types of legislation: bills, joint resolutions, concurrent resolutions, and simple resolutions.
The vast majority of our laws were enacted during our first 100 years as a nation. A substantial majority of all current laws passed in congress are simply revisions of current law which amounts to a bunch of political favors for large corporations and the very rich. Learn More.
Learn more the "Emergency" suspension of the GOLD standard by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. This single Executive Order has thereafter allowed the President and Congress to print money (create national debt) and write checks (deficit spending) on behalf of future generations (taxation without representation). While perhaps disputable, a return to the Gold Standard, or similar restraint on deficit spending, may be a necessary element of any feasible plan to correct our current economic problems.
Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. Learn more about Emergency War Powers and the War Powers Act of 1973 which further complicates the possible solutions to our current economic problems.
Laws enacted as Emergency War Powers appear to have no practical means to withdraw that authority once the time of emergency had passed. Many believe this is a serious national legal problem that needs to be addressed.
