Why Our Economy is Having Trouble

by Wade Young Mortgage News

Our economy is having trouble because it is fundamentally flawed. We all want money, but few of us ever think where money comes from. All money is created by the Federal Reserve. Let’s pretend that the government and the Federal Reserve have just been created. We’re back at square one, so to speak. The government [...]
