Anyone who thinks any part of the government should be unaccountable is either ignorant or benefits from that part of the government.

The ridiculous arguments supporting an “independent” unaccountable federal reserve can easily and obviously be extended to all law-making. Lets keep the congress independent of politics so that they don’t hand out goodies...

Obviously there is no such thing as this retarded concept of “independence” in the federal-reserve sense because if they aren’t accountable to anyone else they can do it for personal gain much more easily. Instead of being accountable to us you want them to be accountable only to their own desires. This is the reason dictatorships don’t work out so well for the dictated-to but very well for those dictating.

Of course the liberals politicians are for the auditing. They want more control in congress. It just so happens that that is where it should be because they are the people we elect. They are people who are accountable to us.

We can choose to be free and know the truth or be slaves to a temporary illusion of safety.

Take your pick.

You are correct, except that the Federal Reserve is not a part of the US government. It is a private bank whose shares are owned by the largest commercial banks in the US.
