the federal reserve...
"...by design, is not controlled by the President or the U.S.
Treasury; it is primarily controlled and owned by its member banks and
the chairman of the Federal Reserve"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression
so you can be sure the fed will bail out its member banks at any cost.
this part of the article is also interesting
"the key cause of the Depression was the expansion of the money supply
in the 1920s that lead to an unsustainable credit driven boom. In
their view, the Federal Reserve, which was created in 1913, shoulders
much of the blame." - hayek and rothbard
sound familiar?
