One may wonder why this report never mentioned the gain China has by having a ‘public *monetary rent* policy’ instead of the private FED monetary rent (seigniorage) over the FED$ (erroneously called USD – but it is not a bill from US like the Kennedy notes or greenbacks…). I.e. China can call for their nationalized banking system to issue money for recovery while the US can only hope that the international private barkers are not so greed… Time for revolution ? What about independence once and for all ?
