Quote from MarketMasher:
Sad, but true. Central Planning is the hallmark of Communism, and the Federal Reserve is the Central Planner of the US economy.
And just like a household - whomever controls the purse-strings, rules the house.
Inflation is an invisible tax, so the gov't taxes you directly, and the Fed (regressive-tax) taxes you indirectly.
No-no, when Fed starts to decide, how many pairs of socks should be produced in the US and what should be their price, then you will feel all the beauty of USSR communism only.
