Re: Sorry to spoil the fun, but...

Isn't this just the exact thing your adversaries are saying in this argument?

To explain: when you say "the Fed (or Goldman Sachs or whomever) is accountable to the Congress," all this really translates to (thanks at the very very least to campaign financing, electability, pork-barreling and the entanglement of all of these) is that the Fed (or Goldman Sachs or whomever) is accountable to themselves, alone - they pay Congress, period.

I really don't think it's that difficult or complicated to understand at all. Sure, I guess some people actually don't think the Fed (or whatever other oligarch) is accountable to anyone, but I think most thinking people, even foreigners, recognize that accountability ends exactly where the printed currency begins.
