But Manuel, haven’t the Democrats had a long-standing opposition to central banking, even going so far as to propose abolishing the Federal Reserve? No? But I remember somebody taking that position, and garnering a great deal of popular support for doing so. It may have been Nancy Pelosi herself, . . . I vaguely recall it was someone with an “n” in their first name and a “p” and “l” in their last name! Who else could that have been?
