Here's the deal regarding the "fed". They're responsible for dealing with inflation and jobs. They look at the cpi for that information. But housing is responsible for 40 % of the cpi. So ... they raise interest rates to hold down inflation but raising rates causes less houses to be built which increases the cost of housing which increases the cpi. That's a quagmire that the fed hasn't figured out the solution to. Good luck!! |

Inflation is what democrats do for fun profit. The 'Fed' is a bank, not actually part of the government. They care about their own profits. They don't care if you have a home, or eat 3/$1.00 cat food for dinner, if your feeling fancy. The Fed manipulates the economy, for their own best interest. |

It is, instead, an oligarchy that practices communism and fascism. It manipulates the money supply by printing money, dictating to banks how much reserve they must keep for their deposits, and by fiddling with prime interest rates. It is part of the federal government, created by Congress in 1913. The Board of Governors are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

Open a "depository institution" and you will be able to open an account at the Fed. Your post goes toward a different question: "Should the Federal government be running a centralized quasi-monopoly banking system that gives the Federal government ever-increasing control over our private lives?" That's the issue, and you are clearly on the "Nay!" side. I, personally, like the idea of a Fed to help prevent runs on banks, but I would change fundamentally how it operates. I am a huge fan of our historical success at avoiding runs on banks and the economic crises that would accompany each and every one. Everyone benefits from that. I am not a fan, however, of the government monopoly that forces/controls/eliminates financial services/processes/efficiencies that We the People want, and requires us to sacrifice for the government to more conveniently seize control of our private lives. |

ibd, The fed's mandate is to control inflation and maintain full employment. They do it by managing interest rates and by using qualitative easing and and qualitative tightening. As we know jobs numbers are related to economic activity so regulating economic activity regulates the jobs numbers. The don't like to talk so much about jobs but rather about interest rates and economic activity. Understandably the subject of jobs is a sensitive issue. |

"Full employment" doesn't mean full to the feds. It means somewhere between 4 and 5 % unemployment. That's where the economy works best, they say. Basically how they operate is to stimulate or slow down the economy by regulating the supply of money in the economy.
