Some things need to be broken before they can be fixed . .

“I’m not sure that the Fed takes its marching orders from the Treasury. I’m not sure the Federal Reserve is part of our government,...”

True, the Federal Reserve is not a branch of the Federal Government. I know many people get that wrong.

But while the Fed is *supposed* to be neutral, it has long since been politicized. The (William McChesney) Martin Fed was the last independent one, with the possible exception of when Paul Volker was Chairman. Of course the Fed doesn't officially take it's orders from anyone, but in reality they do. But then again they don't just bow to U.S. or international authorities for nothing; they make sure to get something in return.
