In order to leave the money supply alone, you need to enforce existing laws against Ponzi schemes like fractional reserve banking.

Unless you do this, you have no hope of maintaining a stable money supply.

It doesn't matter whether you use the existing Federal Reserve or your monstrous science fiction scheme you proposed. None of your insane schemes will ever work.

Merchant Banks take in money as shares and lend that same money to borrowers. Once you confuse Merchant Banks with Depository Banks, which allow depositors to withdraw their money on demand, you're on the path to an ever expanding money supply. Something you believe is a virtue, but I know to be a cancer.

People like yourself who believe prosperity depends upon an ever-expanding money supply have traditionally been known as Currency Cranks.

Without an ever expanding money supply, you don't believe you would be able to support yourself with your current skills. Its possible that's true, but that's no excuse for your deceptive schemes to wildly expand the money supply under the guise of stability.

Instead of dreaming up outlandish schemes to abuse others, why not get an education and learn a trade?

As long as we have a war on wealth and the masses see concentration of wealth as a national threat we will never have an inherently deflationary monetary policy.

Is the FED omnipotent to be able to control that?
I think once credit contraction starts they are in deep shit regardless of what their policy is.
