The Fed could not “manipulate” money supply if there were a gold standard in place. Fiat money is nothing but smoke and mirrors. The Fed is the mechanism that politicians put into place to rule the masses. The ability to control the money supply through the Fed, as well as taxing powers of governments, is the root of all evil. Lobbyists, earmarks, derivatives, food stamps, etc are all tied to the coin of the realm being messed with by people like Franks, Dodd, Geitner, Paulson etc.

Walter Williams has no academic credibility.
He's merely a pundit who publishes economic misinformation for profit.
