The Federal Reserve was created so that central bankers would make monetary policy and not Congress (the constitutionally responsible branch). Unfortunately, the Congress doesn’t do much of anything these days except enrich their members. I don’t see them taking back authority over monetary policy when they won’t even declare war or pass a real budget.

You have been brain washed your whole life and so have I to believe what you just posted. I didn’t wake up until 2008 and I was in the banking /lending industry for 30 years.

We are similar to the old Roman Empire.

The Empire still had a Senate, but it’s not clear what the Senate was there for. The Emperor (and the Army) seemed to call all the shots. The Senators were just there to feel important and to get rich.

Our own Senate won’t manage monetary policy, or declare war or pass a real budget. They are just there to feel important and to get rich.

Of course, our situation is worse — because in Rome, the Emperor usually exercised authority, for better or worse. Under our system, our government “runs itself” in mysterious ways and the President is not involved. I think the government ignored both Trump and Biden — for two different reasons, but in each case the Deep State shrugged them off and said, “forget about that guy, he doesn’t matter”.
