Chapter 454, you go, you go

The so-called "Plan a" is the gun target proposed by Scrooge in previous negotiations that was specifically used to deny the Red Necks in the Midwest States. After such a long time, this proposal was of course ready. As such a proposal, if it can deceive people, it naturally has to have sufficient reasonable places to build consensus, but it must also have content that is full of controversy that can attract all the attractiveness of Red Necks.

Just about three weeks after the discussion of the central bank, several Republican senators from New England and the House of Representatives jointly announced a draft of the "Draft Reform of the Banking System in the United States". In this draft, they put forward some basic ideas.

First, the new proposed People's Bank of America will no longer directly participate in business activities. That is to say, the bank will no longer accept deposits directly and provide loans to users. In this way, banks in various states will not have to worry about the emergence of new central banks coming back and directly robbing their business.

Second, the newly proposed People's Bank of America will only be responsible for the monetary policies, deposit and loan policies of various banks in the United States, including regulating the issuance of currencies, currencies recycling, commercial banks' benchmark interest rates, commercial banks' loans, commercial banks' reserves, etc.

Third, the new proposed People's Bank of America will be directly supervised and administered by the U.S. Congress and the U.S. federal government. Foreign capital is prohibited from investing in it.

Among these key principles, the first and second are used to unify consensus, and the third is used to provide controversy, so that states and those rednecks can see the so-called "conspiracy" and provide ammunition for the Democrats so that they can jump up and oppose, and then perform a double act of a fight to show everyone.

As Scrooge expected, the plan immediately caused a lot of debate as soon as it was released, and the focus of the debate was on the third principle.

First of all, the New York Times, in Scrooge's hands, took the lead in jumping out and firing the first shot:

"I don't understand how those guys come up with a good idea to let the federal government take charge of the operation of the central bank. Do they still think the federal government's power is not strong enough? Think about it, a monster that can control the political and economics of the country. Once such a thing appears, what else can we control it? If we approve such a bill today, then it is expected that the federal government, or the monster of public power, will lose control more and more. They will use their power to continuously expand their rights, because it is the nature of any power-based institution or individual. In the next step, they may stipulate that we can no longer cast dollars in gold; in the next step, they will also learn to go further and simply issue a lot of things, but what is the value of it.

They have no waste paper money to give us, cheating all our money away; in the next step, they may further control us to have weapons and self-defense power, forbid us from owning guns, disarm us from various states, or make our armed forces completely incomparable to the military in the hands of the Federation; then establish a unified police system over the states across the country, and then, in the name of patriotism, begin to censor our speech, infringe on our freedom of speech, and even use spies to monitor our actions and check our correspondence. One day, we will find that everything about us will be controlled by this monster. This monster that should have served us has become the master of the country, while our original masters have become slaves under the control of the monster.

One of the greatest causes our ancestors did was to put damn public power into a cage. But now? The guys from the Republican Party wanted to open the cage door and release the monster that could eat people. We can't expect that this monster would return to the bottle like the fool in "One Thousand and One Nights". As long as someone coaxed it, they would return to the bottle. The only thing we can do is to stop the fools who tried to open the seal of the bottle before the seal was opened!"

This view of the New York Times basically represents the opinions of the Democratic Party. With the publication of this article, more rebuttal articles emerged one after another. Newspapers in the Midwest states also stated that such a design would infringe on the sovereignty of the states and was absolutely intolerable.

Yes, it is used to say "infringement of sovereignty". Because, unlike the common republics we are familiar with, the United States is not a republic, but a United States. To put it more clearly, at the beginning, it was just a confederacy composed of thirteen countries. The states of the United States should not be called states, it is just a habitual translation error. Strictly speaking, all states in the United States should be translated as "states" or "states". The struggle between state power and federal power continued until the 21st century. Speaking of the 21st century, the red-necked Texas also had a story that the governor ordered the state's National Guard to monitor the federal army that was conducting military exercises to prevent the federal army from invading Texas.

Of course, the Republicans will not stand and be scolded and refuse to retaliate, and of course they will also retort. For example, mocking democracy is of course worrying about being too much. In their statement, the president is elected by the people of each state, and the senators and representatives are allocated according to the proportion of the states. Their power itself comes from the power of each state. If the people are not satisfied with them, they can be elected. Moreover, the political structure of the United States is the most advanced structure of separation of powers in the world. If such a structure is not trustworthy, then who else is trustworthy? The Democrats have completely painted a ghost to scare the people.

However, compared with Democratic propaganda, the Republican's defense seemed relatively pale and powerless. In short, in the following months, the Democratic Party rarely gained the upper hand in the offensive and defensive battles on this issue. Polls conducted by various institutions proved this. The American people are still worried about a central bank controlled by the federal government.

...

"Dad, look, this is the latest poll results." Grestone handed a document to Scrooge.

"Yeah, let's take a look." Scozhi took the document and started reading it.

"Most Americans are still very resistant to Plan A," said Greston. "But they seem to have put their alertness on the federal government."

"Yes, my son. You must remember that human nature has a weakness, that is, their attention is always easily drawn away from key issues. Therefore, in many cases, the loudest and loudest places are often not the key, but are used to cover up the key means." Scrooge seized the opportunity to educate his son.

"So dad, should we let the Democrats take out Plan B now?" asked Grestone.

"It's not busy yet. Let the Republicans launch a counterattack first, and then let the Democrats..." Scrooge replied.

...

After being ridiculed by Democrats for a long time, the Republican Party finally launched a strong counterattack. They no longer tried to defend their plan A problems, but instead asked the Democrats: "Do you have any good solutions?"

The Wall Street Journal naturally once again launched the task of provoking this round of trends. On October 5, 1897, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled "People who do things always have mistakes":

"... There is no doubt that the Republican plan does have many problems, but I want to ask, do Democrats think that the United States does not need a central bank, and the United States should still become a pig farm for international financial speculators like now? And at any time, it is always the easiest to pick up any tricks. A great man like President Jefferson, and some people will pick things out from him such as black illegitimate children. There is no perfect person in the world, and there is no perfect plan. But do we do nothing because of this?

These days, we have noticed that Republicans have been constantly adjusting and improving their plans, doing their best to make them perfect. What about Democrats? What else have they done besides picking on the bones in eggs? They accuse Republicans of making many mistakes, which is the fact. Republicans have indeed made many mistakes in how to build a central bank and keep our people from plunder. In contrast, Democrats are innocent and have nothing wrong. Why is this happening? The reason is very simple, because they did nothing! If they did nothing, they would naturally be able to make nothing wrong.

But I still want to praise the Democrats. They have a very good quality, that is, they are very self-aware. Why do they do nothing? Because they know that they can't do anything well. They know that they can do nothing, and they can still pretend to be smart. Once they let them do things by themselves, their incompetence will be seen through by the American people. So they won't come up with a way to expose themselves. For such gentlemen who never make mistakes, I only give them one sentence, that is: 'You can do it, don't talk nonsense if you don't have it!"

As soon as this article was published, of course it attracted angry protests from Democrats and their supporters, but the saying "You can do it, you can" immediately made these accusations become weak. Democrats knew that if they want to make the situation back, they must really bring out something.r1058
