QuoteThe Federal Reserve has a lot of haters, and those haters are spreading some rumors.

Texas Governor Rick Perry echoed many conservatives' sentiments when he said last year that another round of stimulus from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would be "almost treasonous." "We would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas," he added, while also claiming that the Fed has been "devaluing the dollar." Inflation is currently at historically low levels.

There's more there but it isn't much to copy/paste. Basically it's a lot of strawman arguments and half-truths being thrown at us.
