The Federal Reserve is supposed to be independent. But the reality is far more political.
Washington knows if they can stack the Federal Open Market Committee with loyalists, they can force rate cuts and print money at will. One resignation here, one retirement there — and suddenly the Fed tilts in their favor.
This isn’t about economic policy. It’s about control. And when politics hijacks the Fed, it’s ordinary Americans who pay the price through inflation and instability.
