One other comment here. Since there "is no difference" between US Notes and
Fed Reserve Notes then why bother with a Federal Reserve in the first place?
The FED is not a-political, and it acts very much as a political entity. If
these are interest free loans then why would anyone which to have an interest
in the Federal Reserve system, since there would be no ability to make any
money? A poor investment, no?
no?
