Deranged Rhino Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well, you changed your answer several times. It public/private--but mostly public. And yes, its independent for a good reason, some clod watching George Carlin videos might think they understand how the world works and try and change things....somehow Or... you could listen to the words coming out of the Chairman of the Fed's own mouth when he says THEY ARE INDEPENDENT and ABOVE THE LAW, even from the President of the United States. But that would require you to be honest and literate. Since you've constantly demonstrated you possess neither of these qualities, you can keep on asshatting your way through life. It's easier to be blind, deaf, and dumb than it is to be awake and aware. I get it. I do. It's just cowardly. http://www.federalreserve.gov/consumerinfo/agency.htm Federal agency...

Tiberius Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 That the Fed is not solely a government entity. Ok, sorry, yes, this is you and you are right. You just were being a jackass and arguing for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 He said they were above the law? "There is no agency of government that can overrule the actions we take". Yeah, he said they're above the law clear as day if you get your head out of your ass and actually LISTEN to what he's saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 What?? You also said I was wrong in saying its a public/private institution. It is, right? "There is no agency of government that can overrule the actions we take". Yeah, he said they're above the law clear as day if you get your head out of your ass and actually LISTEN to what he's saying. Legally. That hardly means they are above the law. They do have a mandate you idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 See........I was RIGHT!!! [/gator] No, his argument is that the use of "other" indicates the Fed is a government agency. Don't be gatorman. Address his actual argument, not what you think he's saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 You also said I was wrong in saying its a public/private institution. It is, right? I went from saying it was solely a private institution to saying it could be both depending on who you talk to. So changed my position once. So I'd like to know how I changed it several times. Or were you just kidding when you said that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Legally. That hardly means they are above the law. They do have a mandate you idiot That doesn't mean they're a government agency. I'm not allowed to kill random people on the street, ergo I'm not above the law...so that makes me a government agency? You persist in believing that we're telling you you're wrong. That's not the problem. The problem is that your arguments are dog****. You need to make a coherent argument before you can even manage to be wrong.

Tiberius Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 USA.gov has it as a federal agency https://www.usa.gov/federal-agencies/federal-reserve-system Federal reserve calls itself a federal agency http://www.federalreserve.gov/consumerinfo/agency.htm Wiki lists it as one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_agencies_in_the_United_States Princeton calls it a federal agency: https://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s9928.pdf The Council on Foreign Relations calls it a Federal Regulatory agency http://www.cfr.org/financial-regulation/us-financial-regulatory-system/p17417 No, I do not. Nobody is above the law. Thank you Tom and Greggy are partially wrong but you're totally off the !@#$ing ranch loony toons wrong. Really? How am I wrong?
