Question

Should the federal reserve be able to use credit? Why or why not? Give three reasons to support your answer

Answer 1

If this is opinion based, i would say no. Now the reasoning is simple to me. Now thinking logically, what is credit? Credit is BORROWED money. The United States already has a 21 trillion dollar debt. Now if our Federal government borrows money what is happening to our debt? Our debt increases. And was has always been a result of high debt? Increased taxes. Lastly, If our federal government uses credit, how can anyone be sure that we have the financial ability to pay it off? WE CANT! In other words, no the federal government should not be allowed to use credit. Reasons:

1.) Raises National debt

2.)Raises Taxes

3.)No way to be sure we are financially capable of paying back the borrowed money. You cant forget interest either.
