Do you know a single person who, in their entire lives, has ever voted for either their President or their Senator primarily on the basis of Federal Reserve Board appointments? Most voters don't even know the constitutional duties of the President. Presidential candidates are (mostly) front men for unaccountable groups of oligarchs who can't easily be removed.
- imtringued 5y agoWhy would you care? All the Fed is doing is kill inflation as much as it can. The only thing that they should stop doing is QE because it literally does nothing. It's as if we swapped names. My comments wouldn't change.
