Here's my idea for a new issue:
Certain government advisors have proposed a [NATION'S NAME] national bank that would have complete control of the nation's money supply and the value of the [CURRENCY].
"A central bank would be brilliant," whispers [RANDOM NAME], one of your countless advisors. "Think of it! You could create booms or busts, heat up or cool down the economy at will! The economy- and the people- would be at the mercy of the national bank!"
"A national bank?" bristles rural farmer [RANDOM NAME]. "Whut in tarnation d'we need one o' them for? Ain't the gov'ment centralized 'nuff awready? Ah say, not only shou'd we fuggit 'bout dis'ere bank, but de-centralize th' gov'ment and give more power to th' local gov'ments an' people while we're at it!"
Conservative activist [RANDOM NAME] agrees, but for different reasons. "The very idea of a central bank is tyrannical," he says. "The government has too much damn control already, now you want to give them control over interest rates and the value of the [CURRENCY]? I don't believe this! Aside from coining money, the government should get its big, fat nose out of economic affairs, period."
[RANDOM NAME], a famous socialist, advocates a national bank and the nationalization of everything, from industries to schools to everything else. "I agree there should be a central bank," she says. "But let's go further than that! Let's give the government complete control over EVERYTHING pertaining to the economy, so we can boot out those greedy, fat-cat corporate slimeballs and redistribute the wealth, bringing true equality to our nation! Down with capitalism!"
