In this episode we continue our discussion of John F. Kennedy and the Federal Reserve. We explain how and why Kennedy halted sales of silver by the Treasury Department. We review Kennedy's call for Congress to phase out silver certificates in favor of Federal Reserve notes still backed by gold. We discuss his famous executive order 11110, and why that executive order was ignored by future administrations.
Intro Music: 'Destructoid' by MK2. Outro Music: 'Strut Funk' by Dougie Wood.
