No one tells the Fed what they can and can't do. And this really pisses off Trump who wanted negative interest rates.Of course it's owned by the government. They created it.
They appoint the leader, and they get all the profits (back when they made profits).
They tell it what it can and can't do.
And they could eliminate it tomorrow.
This is exactly why we don't want politicians getting their hands on the monetary printing press.
If we had negative interest rates when Trump wanted them, the resulting inflation would have been twice as bad.
There is literally nothing in which Trump isn't a total idiot. Except for hoaxing rubes and telling them what they want to hear.
The federal government does not own the banks which make up the Federal Reserve.
Sorry!
