dave the f.r.s was started in 1913 ? Lincoln ?

Oh yeah, you're right; my bad. Well, Lincoln, Kennedy, and Jackson were the presidents who tried to print currency that was free from interest, in direct opposition to the family bankers who controlled the nation's currency. Of course, in the cases of Lincoln and Jackson, those bankers were not members of the Federal Reserve yet, but they still controlled the nation's money supply.
