No, of course we should believe the Fed. After all, they're the ones who said they're not a government agency. Don't you believe them?

Yes indeed, I do believe the Fed.

Toddster may believe Congress, since they were the ones that wrote the legislation creating the Fed in 1913.

Congress created the Federal Reserve System out of private banks that were compelled to “buy” shares to belong to the System. Shares that they can’t sell and which convey no actual ownership. And it’s still made up of private banks to this day.
