Again, if these “bankers” are actually government employees, then yes, of course they are part of the bigger problem.
But a lot of the Right is REALLY confused about the greatest problem and threat of our time because the Delusional Lying Leftist Media continually steers its public away from the oppression and coercion and tyranny of government to things like “big business” or bankers”.
The Right needs to get it right: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is far and away the greatest threat to our freedom, our wealth, and our way of life.
The federal reserve is a private entity. It is as much a part of the problem as the federal government itself is.
And that includes it being a threat to Liberty.
Have you ever considered what led to the Whisky Rebellion foreshadowed all our currency controversies?
Whisky was for many the only form of currency that they had access to.
Aside: in that it represented something anthropologists now tell us is supposed to be very old where hootch (ancient beer actually) is asserted to have been among the earliest form of currency.
The point for those dependent on whisky in this way is that it was a form of currency that was in their hands that needed no form of central government, never mind some form of central banking system.
This was important because their medium for trade existing at all and having value at all were purely local matters, and something they could personally do something about.
The government, needing taxes, needed people to use coin so they squashed a form of currency they couldn’t benefit from to force people to use one that they could. And moonshining has been a great American tradition ever since.
But here we are still talking about specie coin, and specie is like whisky in that it does not need either a central government or a central bank to either exist or to be valued by people.
Then there is fiat currency that cannot exist apart from both big government and the central banking system saying it exist and likewise claiming it has value.
Here I would point out that those who might say the value of specie, or whisky, is arbitrary are without self awareness for the only thing they’ve ever offered in place is something that is and can only be expressly arbitrary. It’s like the chamber pot insisting it is the same as the fine China.
It is fiat currency along with lawlessness that has enabled Congress to cause inflation through reckless spending. Remember when a hundred billion dollar deficit was still a big deal? We were already deep into Keystone Keynesian territory even then.

Unlike frogs people don’t jump out of frying pans but make excuses, or even say the heat is preferable. This is the same for increased lawlessness as for ballooning deficits.
The progressives long understood that all they needed to grow their power was more piggies feeding at the public trough. And from Social Security to these recent handouts they’ve got more and more piggies feeding.
And ultimately it is the piggies feeding that are the real problem because they will squeal to high heaven if their goodies are ever taken away.
