FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD<\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve Board,
\nOh what a government-sounding name,
\nBut they are not a federal agency,
\nAnd can really make no such claim.<\/p>\n

They are powerful private bankers,
\nYielding very sharp economic knives,
\nTheir unchallenged fiscal policies,
\nCut deep right into our very lives.<\/p>\n

From minimum wage to grocery prices,
\nInterest on loans and so much more,
\nThey determine how money affects you,
\nAnd leave you rich or else very poor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
