let's be honest the Fed is run by college professors and they have it down to a science. The idea of having no nothing politicians interceding could be a disaster for the economy. It is true the Fed is not democratic in any way shape or form but oddly that's for the best in this case.
Let's be honest, the Fed is not even part of the US Government and has absolutely no oversight, that has to change!
the Fed is not even part of the US Government
That's ridiculous. Of course it is.
and has absolutely no oversight
Would Greenspan or Bernanke subject themselves to hours of questions by morons like Maxine Waters, Ron Paul and Alan Grayson if it wasn't a requirement? LOL!
If you consider the Federal Reserve to be part of the US Government you are seriously misinformed,
A simple Google search might set you straight, for starters try:
Is the Federal Reserve System a Governmental or a Privately controlled organization? | AMI (American Monetary Institute)
which states:
the Federal Reserve system is essentially dominated and controlled by private financiers, not our government; and to the extent that there is ownership of it, it is entirely private. Therefore despite the ambiguity – and confusion – the Fed is more accurately seen as a private, not a governmental institution, though with substantial governmental ties.
