Yeah, and how long does the chairman stay in office? For the same underlying purpose to the answer of this question.

This question should be added to the application for citizenship. Who gives a rats butt about who the 1st president was?

Op is making a striking point about the state of our economy, and is perhaps questioning how we allowed a group of private banks to set all the rules about how much money there is, how much it is worth, how much it is worth over time, and how much they can charge us (our government), for the privilege.

Where is the "None of the above" answer?

The Federal Rerserve is a mixture of private banks and the government. Private banks choose the board of directors and the president chooses the board of governors (confirmed by the senate). The private banks and government officials TOGETHER discuss the issues and make the decisions. In practice, the banks themselves make the rules with lots of governmental regulations.

care to elaborate?

Not until you confirm or deny that your intentions are to passive-aggressively attack the federal reserve and eventually promote Ron Paul.

Yeah but they need us as much as we need them. One without the other fails. Didn't we learn this during the great depression?

Some of us wanted to see the federal reserve burn to the ground before ever hearing the name "Ron Paul".
