You do realize that FED transfers it's profits to US Treasury to the tune of 100 billion dollars per year?


But unlike just about all public agencies, stock holders get to keep a fair amount too. Not to mention that a great deal of tax money goes towards servicing interest on loans. On top of that; well, let's not mince words: "Quantitative easing" is essentially theft.


Correct, the fed funnels money away from savings accounts to the Treasury, exporters, and banks.
