Who regulates the money suppy of the United States?

Fed Reserve, but really the major corporations.  They control everything with their bucks.

that's not the way it works...The Us doesn't "have" any money...we have a debt in the trillions of dollars (and counting) The difference is made up by selling bonds and from borrowing from trade partners (goods exchange or cash loans)  -mainly China, nowadays.  They do not need the actual money (no gold standard- "money has no inherant value) to run things, they just need a number to guide how much they can spend....it is the worst way to handle finances of any scale, and the first time we have funded wars from almost exclusive overseas borrowing.. We are screwed.

The amount of money is constantly fluctuating.\n\nEach country regulates its own currency.  If you print too much, the value of your currency will decrease.  The value of the money is based on the country's productivity.  The USA has the biggest GNP at $11.75 trillion.  A country's currency will go up or down in value based on the actions in that country.  If it prints more money, its value will drop in comparison to other countries that are not printing out more money.

Here`s answer for you. The juden control our money. The Fed was set up to scam america out of her gold. Also an example of a FED note.\n\n \nPeter Kershaw shows us who owns the Federal Reserve System of America in "Economic Solutions".\n\nHe lists the ten primary shareholders\nin the Federal Reserve banking system: \n1) The Rothschild Family* - London\n2) The Rothschild Family* - Berlin \n3) The Lazard Brothers - Paris \n4) Israel Seiff* - Italy \n5) Kuhn-Loeb Company* - Germany \n6) The Warburgs* - Amsterdam \n7) The Warburgs* - Hamburg \n8) Lehman Brothers* - New York\n9) Goldman & Sachs* - New York \n10) The Rockefeller Family - New York.\n\nThrough their banks, they control, and/or own outright, most of the Corporations of America, and in the entire world. \n\n A federal Reserve Note. \n\nThe swindle of the system is simple. The Federal Reserve Bank hires the US Treasury to print up some money. The Federal Reserve only actually pays the treasury for the cost of the printing, they do NOT pay $1 for each 1$ printed. But the Federal Reserve turns around and loans out that money (or credit line) to banks at full face value, those banks which have exhausted their deposits then loan that Federal Reserve fiat money to you, and you must repay it in the full dollar value (plus interest) in work product, even though the Federal Reserve printed that money for pennies, or created it out of thin air in a computer.\n\nAs the Federal Reserve overprints more money, the money supply inflates, and too much money starts chasing too few goods and services, which means prices go up. But contrary to the charade put on by the Federal Reserve, inflation doesn't just come and go due to some arcane sorcery. The Federal Reserve can halt inflation any time it wants to by simply shutting down those printing presses. It therefore follows that both inflation and recession are fully under the control of the Federal Reserve.\n\nOver time, that excess of printing has destroyed the value of that dollar you think you have. If you want to know by just how much, go out and try to purchase 371.25 grains of silver right now. Usually, the deterioration is gradual. Sometimes, it has to be obvious, such as the 1985 devaluation (done to halt the trade imbalance) which triggered the Japanese real-estate grab in this country.\n\nMany politicians have attempted to reverse this process. John F. Kennedy issued an Executive Order 11110, requiring the Treasury Department to start printing and issuing silver certificates for the silver then remaining in the US Treasury. \n\nKennedy decided that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. This was the reason he signed Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System.

4. The Fed...they control the monetary policy of the country, or how much money is in the market.  By controlling interest rates and how much money is printed at any given time, this has a great affect on how much people pay for loans and the value of the dollar.\n\n1. The President not only implements the budget and policy, but he also gets to appoint governors of the Fed Board and also other economic advisors.  Even if Congress passed a budget, he or she would not have to spend the money.\n\n2 & 3.  Congress passes the budget and has the ultimate power of the purse.  While government spending is a fraction of the GDP, it is still a large share and the amount of money people pay in taxes is less money for the market.  Also, a large national debt could crowd out private borrowing, in turn jacking up interest rates.  We'll just put the Senate in this answer since they are part of Congress.\n\n5.  The media has no control over the economy, but they have the ear of the people.  By spinning or telling stories of how well or poorly the economy is doing, this could in turn influence people's spending patterns.\n\n6. Foreign powers have very little to do with the economy, as the GDP is measured by the domestic production levels.  One thing foreign powers can do is regulate the cost of goods if we import something important from a country, but that effect is limited and often not as shocking as a domestic price jacking.

To answer your question, let's create a hypothetical situation where we pit a diabolical and evil Fed chairman diabolical against a diabolical and evil President. (OK, partisans, no correlating to real life here).\n\n\nIn this corner: The Chairman of the Federal Reserve board.\n\nStrengths and super-powers: The Federal Reserve Board of Governors has the power to control the nations money supply. This power means they can throw the worlds largest economy in recession, or trigger hyperinflation. They can also create money out of thin air.\n\nWeaknesses:\n\n- The Fed chairman can not unilaterally change monetary policy; it would require a majority board vote.\n\n- The Fed needs Treasury approval to print and distribute currency.\n\n- The president appoints the chairman and all other governors (with congressional approval)\n\n\n\nIn this corner: The president of the United States\n\nStrengths and super-powers: Of all the president's power, the most significant is being commander-in-chief. He has command over the U.S. military and, by extension, has control over about half the military spending in the world. \n\n\nWeaknesses:\n\n- Congressional cooperation\n\n\n\nLet the battle commence! And the play-by-play is:\n\n- The Fed chairman acts first, and calls an emergency meeting of the Board of Governors to create $1T and buy a mercenary army.\n\n- The rest of the board (all presidential appointees) decline to go along with it.\n\n- The President has the Fed Chairman arrested for treason.\n\nAnd the winner of the most powerful position is:\n\n--> The President <--

it part of the check and balanced the make the laws and control the money it balances out the fact the court rules if the laws are just and the president enforce them it so no one is the main power

So they can keep each other in check, and no one branch has total control. The way the US was created was to ensure true liberty for its citizens, and this is a big part of it. I wish I could go into more detail, I think it may be referred to as a "system of check and balances."

To answer question properly, we need to break it down.\n\n\nQ. Is the Federal Reserve System a private corporation?\n\nA. No, the system is managed and overseen by government officials. However there is some semblence at the branch level.\n\nTo elaborate: At the top of the Federal Reserve System is the Board of Governors. These are all appointed for 14-year terms by the president and confirmed by congress. It operates per it's charter and laws set by congress. it is also overseen by congress. There is absolutely no structure or mechanism for private ownership at this level. (If someone disagrees, please explain how someone could take legal title to own and control the Board of Governors).\n\nThe 12 branches, however, are organized similar to private corporations. Member banks are required to buy shares in their branch. They can vote for 6 of their 9 board members. The shares get a standard 6% dividend. The shares cannot be sold on the open market. All 'profit' from the Federal Reserve branches are turned over to the Treasury at the end of the year. Whether this branch structure constitutes 'private ownership' is the subject of much debate. Even the courts have a hard time with making the distinction in related decisions. I personally equate it to contracting out; the Board of Governors has oversight and ultimate responsibility but the branch work is carried out by this contrived joint partnership arrangement of member banks.\n\n\nQ. Does the FRS have the power to coin money?\n\nA. No, all minting and printing of money is performed by the Mint and Bureau of Engraving.\n\n\nQ. Does the FRS have the power to order the printing of money?\n\nA. No, only the Treasury is authorized to make that request. The connection is that the Federal Reserve forecasts it's currency needs and submits a request to the Treasury. The Treasury reviews and approves the requests and forwards it on.\n\n\nQ. Does Treasury borrow money from the FRS?\n\nA. Not directly. The Treasury sells Securities on the open market or to other government agencies (like Social Security).\n\nThe FRS will buy/sell T-Notes on the Open Market (i.e. from the public, not the Treasury). About $700B of the $10T in Treasury Notes are owned by the FRS.\n\n\nQ. What about the Interest\n\nA. All 'profit' from the Federal Reserve (mainly T-Note interest) is returned to the Treasury at the end of the year. So after expenses, that means that 98% of the T-Note interest is returned. So it is to the government and tax payers benefit for the FRS to buy T-Notes.\n\n\nQ. Is it correct and the debt can never be paid off under the current money system of country? \n\nA. Technically, yes, but it's not a big deal. The law just says thet FRS currency needs to be collateralized and T-Notes are chosen because they are very liquid and help offset the cost of interest. A small amount of F-Notes are collateralized by assets other than T-Notes (gold, coinage, etc). \n\nIn the unlikely event that all $10T of our nations debt is paid off, the FRS would just have to buy other assets to pump money in the economy. Could be mortgages, CDs, or municipal bonds.

Ben Shalom Bernanke - Alan Greenspan's successor.  If he so much as sneezes the entire country will stop to listen.  After all, money talks and who else controls all the money in the country other than the Chairman of the Federal Reserve?

The actual entity would be the Treasury. Congress sets his salary. The source of the money is taxes of various sorts (income, excise, gift, estate, etc.) as well as customs duties.

Money is power and  power rules the world. Look at the members of congress. There are a multitude of laws that help make and keep them rich. If we ran a business and ran it the exact same way....We would go to Jail. We need to vote everyone out of office and change the playing field. It would be nice it it were a bit more level.

First the Fed doesn't print money.  That's done by the Treasurey.  And what the hell is the "golf" standard?\nAnyway.  There a three ways the Fed can control the money supply: \n1)Open Market Operations\n2)Discount Window(rate)\n3)Legal Reserve Requirement

For the Feds, the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. They do it also under the general welfare and common defense clauses. \n\nStates have the absolute right to regulate commerce within their borders (intra-state commerce), which is why all those professional licenses are done by the state.
