Q:A lot of people point to the legislation that repealed the Glass-Steagal Act in the late 1990's - especially the bipartisan Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (written by Republicans; signed by Democrat President Bill Clinton).But it seems like the big banks had a lot of power even before then.When and why did the American voters decide to give these big banks so much power over our political and economic systems?Because to me, this seems like a really dumb decision.Why were so many Americans so dumb for so long?

In 2006 when the banks bought the election for Pelosi and the Dems

Q:A bank creates money using the deposits in the bank and with a required reserve ratio, they can loan more money than their deposit base. I was wondering, which deposit base are we talking about? Is it just high-powered money/bank reserves/notes or does it also include savings transferred from other banks (eg: someone shifts from one bank to another, thus bringing all their money along to the new bank electronically only), and other form of M4 money supply types?

The deposit base does not include any money transferred from another bank. Only the deposits it has taken in at its facilities.

Q:If someone has power of attorney, does that give them the right to claim anything belonging to the grantee or close out there bank account??

claim anything is pretty odd wording. You can't steal something. Close out a bank account? If it is a standard financial POA, it give the power to transact financially; closing an account would certainly fall under that power.

Q:Cite a specific example of an implied power and describe how it was derived from a specific expressed power found in article 1 section 8.

National Bank. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). The express requirement/power/responsibility of the federal government to print currency, tax, and spend, necessarily implies a power to charter and establish a national bank as a place to store that money, to operate a bank with deposits and to issue promissory notes, and to pay the debts of the U.S. An express provision regarding taxing and spending necessarily implies any and all unenumerated powers deemed necessary by Congress to perform that function.

Q:I need one example of1. an expressed power2. an implied power3. a concurrent power4. one reserved powerThanks so much to anyone who answers this then I'll be done with my essay.

Expressed powers are those specifically listed in the Constitution: Congress' power to declare war Implied powers are those that can be said to have come from clauses in the Constitution: federal government's power to create a national bank Concurrent powers are those that the federal and state governments share: right to tax Reserved powers are those only the state may wield: police powers i.e. protection of heath, safety, welfare, morals, etc. Good luck with your essay, and check out the Constitution, especially Section I, for more info on powers of the government. It's an excellent resource.

Q:I have a bank of 40 deep cycle batteries for power to my cabin. I want to cahrge these batteries using a 10KW generator. I am looking for a charge controller that will automatically run the generator when charge gets low in the battery bank and shut down the generator when it is fully charged. Any ideas?

It's called a charge controller, look up on line. .

Q:Iam not an economic genius, but.Lets say there's a country, where the banks are controlled by the government. Could the government of that country add a few zero's to the end of their balance of money, in effect making money. With the digital age with paper money becoming less apparent, do you think that this is possible? A country in which it's economic growth is unlimited?

money is just a way of keeping score. it has no real value in itself the only real source of wealth is cheap clean energy and human brain power there are State Banks like Nebraska ( or is it North Dakota) wher ethe bank that makes loans is owned by the state and uses its profits for the benefit of all , not just the owner of the bank huge international banks like IGA, Bank of america etc exist only to make more porfit for themselves. we almost had a world economic collapse because of them. Read about the bail out Germany before WW II in the 1920s did what you said. every day the currency changed. soon the paper it was printed on cost more than the 10,000 mark note. it took a bushel of money to buy a loaf of bread. workers demanded raises every day to be able to pay for rising costs. Called hyper inflation' thousands of % a year or more. america ususally has about 2-3% inflation. right now we have almost none. american bonds pay less than 1% interest and foreign buyers still want them. in the 1980s we had very high inflation but it passed. GOLD is just metal and no better than paper for keeping money score

Q:I was driving and while turning into a parking lost my vehicle lost power. The car still was mobile but at a very slow pace. I pulled into the bank and turned off the car. I cranked the vehicle up and it worked just fine. However, I have been noticing for a week the car has been losing a little bit of power while driving for about a second and then works fine. What could be the issue?

Can only guess by not seeing the car but with what you say I would check the fuel filter first. You didn't say how many miles are on the car, but a tune up would be the second thing that come to mind. (If Hyundai Guru says TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), then I'll agree with him. But just so I don't have to agree with him completely, still check the fuel filter.))

Q:I have this wild idea of powering a window unit from a battery bank. not 100% about how i would charge the batteries but just a crazy idea. Any suggestions on how i might be able to do it?

Air conditioning compressors are poor candidates for battery power as they take a huge amount of amperage to start. Like the other person said, there is nothing to be gained from this unless the batteries are charged from something other than A/C power.

Q:I see in Article 1 Section 8 that they have the power to coin money and establish value thereof. I would assume that would include bills of credit as well until I read Article 1 Section 10. It denies the states the power to coin money and it also denies them the power to emit bills of credit. So it has made it very clear that coin money and emit bills of credit are different powers of government. But wait, where does it say that bills of credit can NOT be emitted by the Federal Government? O shoot the 10th amendment forbids the Federal Government from taking any action that is not authorized by the Constitution and its Amendments.Now I understand that the Supreme Court does not interpret it like this. They did at first with Hepburn v. Griswold but that was overturned by Knox v. LeeWhat do you think?

Paper money (bills of credit) are issued by the Federal Reserve which is separate from the government. Coin money is issued by the US Treasury, which is part of the government. z
