So now the FED is lending directly ..to businesses. The NERVE !!! If that is not unconstitutional, I don't know what is. It is Treason. How dare they ? The FED should be scrapped and let the Gov. create and put out its own money without any interest charges. That would solve this problem in an instant. Like Ron Paul said to Bernanke .. " How can you eliminate debt by creating more debt ? ". The money the FED creates carries an interest rate. What a joke !! Forget NAG temporarily. The crisis dwarfs everything.
